Install
Transitrix Studio renders the notations live in your editor. Pick your channel — the extension is identical across all of them.
Transitrix Studio — in your editor
- VS Code — the VS Code Marketplace. Or search Transitrix Studio in the Extensions panel.
- Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf — the Open VSX Registry. Same extension and identifier; search Transitrix Studio in the Extensions panel.
- IntelliJ IDEA — the JetBrains Marketplace. Also installs into the other JetBrains IDEs.
Or start with the Claude Code skill
Prefer to be walked through it? The onboarding skill scaffolds a repository — or orients you in one your organisation already has — and authors your first file. In a Claude Code session:
/plugin marketplace add transitrix/methodology
/plugin install transitrix@transitrix-methodology
/transitrix:onboard
Mermaid — the technical-layer views
Studio renders the business-facing layers of your model; the technical layers are standard Mermaid. Install a Mermaid preview extension alongside Studio — Markdown Preview Mermaid Support (on the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX) — to render sequence, state, ER and C4 component diagrams, down to the application and technology layers.
One model, every layer. Studio renders the business-facing layers with purpose-built notations that go beyond generic diagramming — its BPMN, process and activity views, not stripped-down Mermaid copies. Mermaid then renders the technical layers Transitrix doesn't specialise — the same plain-text model, every layer, from the board to the developer. And nothing is locked in: Transitrix is built on open standards (ArchiMate 3.2, BPMN 2.0), the technical views are standard Mermaid that renders in any tool, and your files stay diffable text on an open, MIT-licensed methodology — readable with or without our tooling.
