c4-diagram

You can generate C4 architecture diagrams by parsing YAML frontmatter data from your system notes. This Skill applies C4 modeling principles to transform structured metadata directly into visual architecture diagrams.

Yes, you can create both Level 1 context and Level 2 container diagrams using Mermaid, PlantUML, or flowchart formats. Output formats are optimized for various rendering needs, including Obsidian rendering and formal documentation.

The best way to automate architecture documentation from YAML frontmatter is using a Skill that maps structured data to C4 modeling principles. It automatically applies specific syntax rules to output up-to-date Mermaid or PlantUML diagrams for your systems.

Yes, this C4 diagram generator works with Obsidian by offering output formats specifically optimized for Obsidian rendering and layout control. It generates Mermaid and flowchart syntax that integrates directly into your system notes.

Parsing YAML frontmatter to output PlantUML C4 diagrams requires extracting the structured system data and applying specific PlantUML syntax rules based on C4 modeling principles. This Skill automates that parsing and syntax generation process.

You should use flowchart format over Mermaid for C4 modeling when you need specific layout control optimized for your documentation environment. Both formats parse the same YAML frontmatter data but apply different syntax rules for distinct rendering outputs.
