SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill resolves ambiguity in service architecture by providing a standardized, reviewable method to document the internal structural building blocks of a single container, ensuring consistent dependency management and layering.

Core Features & Use Cases

C4-L3 Notation: Enforces the C4 Level 3 model for decomposing a single service into handlers, application services, domain models, and infrastructure components.
Dependency Rule Enforcement: Validates that source-code dependencies point inward toward the domain, preventing architectural drift and circular dependencies.
Use Case: Use this skill when a service's internal structure is non-obvious, such as when implementing an Anti-Corruption Layer or complex CQRS read-models, to provide reviewers with a clear, standards-compliant structural blueprint before implementation begins.

Quick Start

Use the component-diagram skill to generate a C4 Level 3 diagram and element catalog for the current service container.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create a C4 Level 3 component diagram for a Go microservice?▼

You create a C4 Level 3 component diagram by decomposing a single service container into handlers, application services, domain models, and infrastructure components to visualize internal structure and dependency flow.

When do I need a C4 Level 3 diagram for my architecture?▼

A C4 Level 3 diagram is needed when a service's internal structure is non-obvious, such as when implementing an Anti-Corruption Layer or complex CQRS read-models, providing reviewers with a clear structural blueprint before implementation.

How does dependency inversion work in Clean Architecture component diagrams?▼

Dependency inversion in Clean Architecture component diagrams validates that source-code dependencies point inward toward the domain, enforcing interface-ownership and preventing architectural drift and circular dependencies.

Can I use this approach to document an Anti-Corruption Layer in microservices?▼

Yes, you can use this approach to document an Anti-Corruption Layer by providing a standardized, reviewable method to map internal structural building blocks and ensure consistent dependency management within a single container.

Does this diagramming method support automated fitness function integration?▼

Yes, this diagramming method supports automated fitness function integration by satisfying requirements for inward-pointing dependency enforcement and interface-ownership within the generated architectural documentation.

What is the best way to prevent architectural drift when documenting service internals?▼

The best way to prevent architectural drift is to enforce dependency rules validating that source-code dependencies point inward toward the domain, ensuring consistent layering and preventing circular dependencies during design-phase documentation.
