System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Decompose vague or evolving system descriptions into a formal C4-based architecture, enabling System → Container → Component decomposition with explicit approval gates and design-doc integration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Level-by-Level Decomposition (System → Container → Component) with gating approvals at each level.
  • Generates a companion diagram file named design-doc-name-c4-diagrams.md next to the source design document to host Mermaid diagrams.
  • Integrates outputs and decisions back into the design document's Plan section, ensuring traceability with milestones.

Quick Start

Invoke the C4 decomposition flow by running /c4-the-design on your design document.
