Can I use C3 with an existing project?

Yes, the skill includes an onboarding mode that helps you initialize the necessary directory structure and begin documenting your existing architecture.

How does the audit feature work?

The audit feature scans your .c3 directory and codebase through 10 phases, checking for documentation consistency, stale references, and proper separation of concerns.

What are the CLAUDE.md files used for?

This skill generates CLAUDE.md files in your code directories to provide Claude with immediate, ambient awareness of architectural patterns and component rules when you start a session.

How does routing work in this skill?

The skill analyzes your request (e.g., 'audit', 'fix', 'design') and automatically routes the task to specialized sub-agents like c3-query or c3-alter for efficient processing.

What is C3 architecture?

C3 stands for Context-Container-Component, a methodology for organizing software design into hierarchical layers to improve maintainability and AI understanding.

Aprendizaje y Documentación

Implements and audits the Context-Container-Component (C3) architecture methodology to maintain structural integrity and synchronized system documentation.

Acerca de

The C3 Architecture Assistant is a specialized tool for Claude Code designed to manage the Context-Container-Component design methodology. It serves as a central hub for architectural tasks, routing user requests to specific agents for design, implementation, querying, or pattern management. The skill ensures that your high-level architectural documentation stays in sync with your codebase through automated multi-phase audits and the generation of ambient context via CLAUDE.md files, making it essential for maintaining complex systems with clear abstraction boundaries.
