C4 Component Architecture
Synthesizes code-level documentation into structured C4 component-level architecture, diagrams, and interface definitions.
This skill empowers Claude to act as an expert architect specializing in the C4 model's component layer. It bridges the gap between individual source files and high-level containers by identifying logical component boundaries, defining internal interfaces, and mapping relationships. It is particularly useful for teams needing to visualize the internal structure of a service or application, providing automated generation of Mermaid diagrams, dependency maps, and standardized documentation that ensures architectural clarity across complex codebases.
