SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validate LikeC4 models to ensure they conform to defined specifications by automatically checking structure, element references, relationships, and syntax, reducing errors early in architecture work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Structure Validation: Verifies that all element kinds are defined in shared specifications, all relationships exist, and flags orphaned elements.
  • Reference & Relationship Validation: Checks that all element references are valid, ensures correctly scoped FQNs for nested elements, and enforces descriptive relationship labels without duplicates.
  • View & Syntax Validation: Validates that defined views render properly and that LikeC4 DSL syntax adheres to standards; provides guidance for debugging and fixes.
  • Use Case: A team validates a LikeC4 model before commit to detect missing labels and broken references, saving review time.

Quick Start

Run the MCP validation workflow against your LikeC4 model using read-project-summary, search-element, find-relationships, open-view, and query-docs as needed to verify model integrity.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a LikeC4 model for orphaned elements and broken references?

You can validate your LikeC4 model by checking project structure, element references, and relationships to catch orphaned elements and misconfigurations. This structural validation ensures your architecture conforms to defined specifications before committing changes.

What does LikeC4 DSL syntax validation check for in architecture views?

LikeC4 DSL syntax validation checks that defined views render properly and adhere to defined standards. It verifies element kinds, scoped fully qualified names for nested elements, and enforces descriptive relationship labels without duplicates to catch syntax errors.

How do I check if all LikeC4 element kinds are defined in shared specifications?

You can verify LikeC4 element kinds by running project structure validation. This automatically checks that all element kinds are defined in shared specifications, all relationships exist, and flags orphaned elements missing from the project summary.

Can I use MCP tools to automate LikeC4 model checks before commit?

Yes, you can use MCP tools to automate LikeC4 model checks before commit. Running the validation workflow with tools like read-project-summary, search-element, and find-relationships verifies model integrity and catches missing labels to save review time.

Why does my LikeC4 model validation fail on nested element references?

LikeC4 model validation fails on nested elements when fully qualified names are incorrectly scoped. The reference validation process checks element references, ensures correctly scoped FQNs for nested elements, and verifies relationship references to prevent misconfigurations.

What is the best way to debug LikeC4 views that do not render properly?

The best way to debug LikeC4 views that fail to render is to run view and syntax validation. This validates that defined views render properly, ensures DSL syntax adheres to standards, and provides guidance for debugging and fixing misconfigurations.
