mad-c4

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious, error-prone manual work of creating C4 model architecture diagrams by automatically extracting infrastructure and integration details from your project's plan.md file, saving development and architecture teams hours of documentation effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-Level C4 Diagram Generation: Create Context, Container, Component, Code, and Deployment diagrams on demand, with Levels 1-2 generated by default per C4 best practices.
• Multiple Output Formats: Export diagrams to PlantUML (stable default), Mermaid (for GitHub/VS Code native rendering), or Structurizr DSL for cloud-based architecture tools.
• Seamless Workflow Integration: Auto-inserts diagram references into plan.md when used alongside the mad-plan skill, keeping documentation in sync with project plans.
• Use Case: After finalizing a feature's infrastructure section in plan.md, use this Skill to instantly generate standardized, shareable architecture diagrams for stakeholder reviews without manual drawing tools.

Quick Start

Use the mad-c4 skill to generate default Context and Container C4 diagrams from your active feature's plan.md file in PlantUML format.
