SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically generate C4 diagrams (C1-C4) from project analysis to accelerate architecture documentation and reduce manual diagramming effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze project structure, modules, and dependencies to derive C4 contexts, containers, components, and code diagrams.
  • Generate Mermaid diagrams for C1, C2, C3, and C4 levels and compile a final Markdown report.
  • Prompt for clarifications when ambiguities arise, ensuring accurate representations for complex architectures.

Quick Start

Analyze a given project and generate C1–C4 diagrams in Mermaid format with a final Markdown summary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate C4 diagrams from my existing codebase?

To automatically generate C4 diagrams from a codebase, you need a tool that analyzes project structure and dependencies. This Skill parses your modules and external integrations to derive C1-C4 levels and outputs Mermaid diagrams with a Markdown report.

Can I create Mermaid diagrams for all C4 model levels without manual drawing?

Yes, you can create Mermaid diagrams for all C4 model levels without manual drawing. By analyzing project structure, the tool generates C1 through C4 diagrams and compiles them into a final Markdown report for architecture documentation.

What is the best way to document software architecture for design reviews?

The best way to document software architecture for design reviews is generating C4 diagrams directly from project analysis. This approach analyzes dependencies and modules to produce Mermaid diagrams for C1-C4 levels, reducing manual diagramming effort.

Does this C4 generator work with large software projects and complex dependencies?

Yes, this C4 generator works with software projects of varying sizes and complex dependencies. It analyzes your project structure and prompts for clarifications when ambiguities arise, ensuring accurate representations of complex architectures.

How does the tool handle ambiguous dependencies during project analysis?

When the tool encounters ambiguous dependencies during project analysis, it prompts the user for clarifications. This ensures accurate representations of complex architectures before generating the final C4 diagrams and Markdown report.
