FAQPage Schema
How do I generate C4 architecture diagrams from project artifacts?▼

You can generate C4 architecture diagrams by analyzing project artifacts like requirements, HLD, DLD, and Wardley Maps. The Skill processes these inputs to create contextually relevant visualizations for enterprise architecture governance and communication.

Can I use Mermaid and PlantUML syntax to visualize system architecture?▼

Yes, you can visualize system architecture using either Mermaid or PlantUML syntax. This format flexibility ensures broad compatibility across different documentation platforms and rendering tools.

What types of architecture diagrams can I create for enterprise governance?▼

For enterprise governance, you can create C4 Context, Container, Component, Deployment, Sequence, and Data Flow diagrams. These diagram types cover structural, behavioral, and deployment aspects of system architecture.

How do I create a C4 Container diagram for a microservice?▼

To create a C4 Container diagram for a microservice, specify the system boundaries and technology choices. The Skill transforms complex system designs into clear, visual documentation suitable for sharing with development teams and stakeholders.

Does this approach work with High Level Design and Low Level Design documents?▼

Yes, this approach works directly with High Level Design (HLD) and Detailed Level Design (DLD) documents. It analyzes these project artifacts alongside requirements and Wardley Maps to inform diagram content and context.
