Generates comprehensive, multi-level C4 model architectural documentation for existing codebases using a structured bottom-up analysis.

This skill automates the creation of professional C4 architecture documentation (Context, Container, Component, and Code) by scanning your repository from the ground up. It starts by analyzing individual code directories to produce granular documentation, synthesizes these into logical components, maps those to deployment containers with API specifications, and finally defines the high-level system context. By producing a structured set of Markdown files, Mermaid diagrams, and OpenAPI specs, it provides both technical and non-technical stakeholders with a clear, visual understanding of the software's structure and dependencies.
