c3-locate

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious manual searching through C3 documentation files, providing precise, ID-based retrieval of specific documents or sections. It ensures architects and developers can quickly access the exact information they need.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Document ID Lookup: Retrieve entire Context, Container, Component, or ADR documents using their unique IDs (e.g., c3-0, c3-101, adr-20251124-caching).
• Heading ID Lookup: Access specific sections within any document using their unique heading IDs (e.g., #c3-1-middleware).
• Combined Lookup: Pinpoint a specific section within a specific document (e.g., c3-101 #c3-101-configuration).
• Backward Compatibility: Supports both V3 hierarchical and older V2 C3 document structures.
• Discovery Mode: Provides guidance for finding relevant documents when the exact ID is unknown.
• Use Case: During a design review, a question arises about the database connection pool configuration. The architect uses c3-locate c3-101 #c3-101-configuration to instantly pull up the relevant section, saving time and keeping the discussion focused.
