SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

C4 architecture diagrams help teams visualize system relationships and communicate design decisions quickly, reducing ambiguity and onboarding time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate C4Context, C4Container, C4Component, and C4Deployment diagrams using Mermaid syntax.
  • Create context-level diagrams for stakeholder communication and container diagrams for technical teams.
  • Use for documenting system context, containerization, and deployment relationships in architectural reviews.

Quick Start

Create a System Context diagram for a web application to illustrate actors, systems, and data flows.

Frequently Asked Questions about c4-architecture

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate C4 architecture diagrams using Mermaid syntax?▼

You can generate C4 architecture diagrams by mapping software structures to standardized C4 levels and outputting Mermaid syntax. This creates visual system context, container, component, and deployment diagrams for architectural documentation.

What is the best way to document system context for stakeholder communication?▼

Creating a C4 system-context diagram is the best way to document system context for stakeholders. It illustrates actors, external systems, and data flows clearly, reducing ambiguity and onboarding time during architectural reviews.

Can I create container and component diagrams for technical teams with C4?▼

Yes, you can create C4Container and C4Component diagrams using Mermaid syntax. These diagrams map containerization and component relationships, helping technical teams visualize detailed software structures and design decisions.

Does Mermaid support C4 deployment diagrams for visualizing infrastructure relationships?▼

Mermaid supports C4Deployment diagrams to visualize infrastructure relationships. This allows you to map deployment structures to standardized C4 levels, ensuring consistency with boundaries and relationships across your system architecture.

When do I need to use C4 diagrams instead of standard flowcharts?▼

You need C4 diagrams when you must map software structures to standardized architectural levels and ensure consistency with boundaries and relationships. They reduce ambiguity better than standard flowcharts by providing context, container, component, and deployment views.
