Document complex AI-generated code by applying the C4 model to create multi-level processing flow docs. This structured approach reduces understanding debt through progressive disclosure from system context down to code level.

Structure processing flow documentation hierarchically using the C4 model: System Context, Container, Component, and Code levels. Apply progressive disclosure sections alongside ADRs and theoretical background to capture design rationale.

Progressive disclosure helps understanding complex system architecture by structuring documentation hierarchically from system context to code. It prevents overwhelming readers by revealing architectural details incrementally through drill-down levels.

Yes, you can include ADR-style decision rationale and Mermaid-based visualizations within your C4 model documentation. These components justify architecture decisions and provide visual diagrams to accompany textual explanations.

A valid processing flow documentation SKILL.md requires frontmatter with name and description, plus a structured Markdown body. The body must cover overview, theoretical background, architecture, and progressive disclosure sections.

Use C4-based processing flow docs when teams face processing debt from needing to understand complex AI-generated code. It captures system context, containers, components, and design rationale to prevent architectural knowledge loss.
