SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fragmented code-level documentation often fails to convey clear component boundaries and interfaces. This Skill consolidates code-level details into cohesive, component-level architecture artifacts, including boundaries, relationships, and diagrams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify logical component boundaries from code-level documentation and map responsibilities.
  • Define interfaces, contracts, and data flows; generate Mermaid C4Component diagrams.
  • Produce a master index of components and link to code references for traceability.

Quick Start

Synthesize component boundaries from the provided c4-code files and generate c4-component documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions about c4-component

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate component-level architecture diagrams from scattered code documentation?

To generate component-level architecture diagrams, you can synthesize scattered code-level documentation into cohesive component boundaries and Mermaid C4Component diagrams. This process identifies logical boundaries, defines interfaces, and maps responsibilities for architectural decisions.

How do I map code references to logical component boundaries?

You can map code references to logical component boundaries by consolidating scattered code-level documentation into a master index. This defines component boundaries and links responsibilities directly to code references for traceability.

What is the best way to define interfaces and data flows for C4-based codebases?

The best way to define interfaces and data flows for C4-based codebases is by synthesizing code-level documentation into component-level artifacts. This approach identifies boundaries, defines contracts, and generates Mermaid diagrams to visualize interactions.

Can I produce a feature inventory from existing code analysis documentation?

Yes, you can produce a feature inventory from existing code analysis documentation. The process extracts code-level details to create component descriptions, feature inventories, and code-to-component mappings that support architectural decisions.

When do I need to synthesize component maps from code-level documentation?

You need to synthesize component maps when fragmented code-level documentation fails to convey clear component boundaries and interfaces. This approach consolidates scattered details into cohesive architecture artifacts, including boundaries and relationships.

Does this approach work without external code analysis dependencies?

Yes, this approach works without external dependencies, relying solely on provided c4-code files to synthesize component boundaries. It internally transforms code-level details into component descriptions and Mermaid C4Component diagrams.
