dxarchitect

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious, error-prone manual work of creating and maintaining C4-level architecture documentation for software projects, which frequently drifts out of sync with the actual codebase as the system evolves.

Core Features & Use Cases

• C4 Model Generation: Automatically creates a standardized C4 architecture map covering System Context, Container, and Component levels, with mermaid diagrams and prose fallbacks for broad renderer compatibility.
• Codebase-Aware Mapping: Reads your project's code, manifests, and existing documentation to accurately identify people, external systems, containers, and components without requiring manual input.
• Strict Notation Enforcement: Applies consistent C4 vocabulary and formatting rules to eliminate ambiguous or non-standard architecture documentation.
• Use Case: A team that has just inherited a legacy codebase can use this skill to generate a clear, accurate architecture map in minutes instead of spending weeks reverse-engineering the system.

Quick Start
