SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires docker, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Skill provides an initial setup for a Structurizr workspace and a Docker-based render pipeline to facilitate the creation of C4 diagrams. It eliminates the manual setup and ensures the workspace and pipeline are correctly configured and usable.

Core Features & Use Cases

Initialize Structurizr Workspace: Scaffold the required directory structure, substitute project information, and pin Docker image versions.
Render C4 Diagrams: Validates the Structurizr DSL, exports the diagram, and renders it to SVG format.
Pipeline Verification: Confirm that the workspace, Docker image, and DSL are correctly set up and working.

Quick Start

Initialize the Structurizr workspace and render pipeline with arch-structurizr init.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate Structurizr DSL rendering for C4 diagrams in Docker?▼

You can automate Structurizr DSL rendering by initializing a Docker-based render pipeline that validates the DSL file and exports C4 diagrams to SVG format. This setup eliminates manual workspace configuration and ensures correctly rendered architecture models.

What is the best way to set up a Structurizr workspace for arc42 architecture documentation?▼

The best way to set up a Structurizr workspace for arc42 is to scaffold the required directory structure, substitute project information, and pin Docker image versions. This ensures the C4 diagram workspace is correctly configured for architecture documentation.

Do I need Docker to generate C4 diagrams with Structurizr?▼

Yes, Docker is required to generate C4 diagrams with Structurizr using this approach. The render pipeline relies on Docker images to validate the Structurizr DSL and render the architecture diagrams into SVG format.

Can I export Structurizr C4 diagrams to SVG automatically?▼

Yes, you can automatically export Structurizr C4 diagrams to SVG format. The render pipeline validates the version-controlled DSL file and uses Docker images to execute the export, converting your architecture definitions into SVG output.

Why does my Structurizr DSL render pipeline fail during initialization?▼

A Structurizr DSL render pipeline fails during initialization if Docker is not installed or running, the version-controlled DSL file contains syntax errors, or the workspace directory structure is incorrectly scaffolded. Pipeline verification confirms the workspace, Docker image, and DSL setup.

Does Structurizr work with arc42 documentation?▼

Yes, Structurizr works with arc42 documentation by managing and validating the Structurizr DSL specifically for generating C4 diagrams. It integrates into the business or system architecture modeling process to provide visual context within the arc42 structure.
