To generate a Mermaid architecture diagram, provide your system components, target audience, and desired diagram type. The skill outputs text-based diagrams aligned with the C4 model, suitable for version control and documentation.

The C4 model structures architecture visualization into context, container, and component levels. You need it to present system designs at the right abstraction for different audiences, from executives needing high-level context to developers needing detailed components.

Yes, you can generate PlantUML diagrams as an alternative to the default Mermaid output. By specifying PlantUML compatibility, the skill produces text-based C4-PlantUML syntax suitable for version-controlled architecture documentation and ADRs.

You can create data-flow diagrams by supplying your system components and specifying the data-flow diagram type. This visualizes system behavior and interactions, which is useful for architecture documentation, onboarding, and design reviews.

Yes, this approach works for Architecture Decision Records by providing text-based Mermaid or PlantUML visualizations. It generates diagrams at appropriate abstraction levels to support the architectural context and decisions documented within the ADR.

To produce a context diagram for executives, you need to supply the system components, specify the executive audience, and select the context diagram type. The output is a high-level text-based visualization suitable for version control.
