You can generate C4 architecture documentation by running a bottom-up workflow that analyzes your deepest code directories first, synthesizing code, component, container, and context diagrams automatically into a structured output directory.

Automating context and container diagram creation involves aggregating code-level documentation into logical components, then mapping those components to deployment containers and system contexts to provide clear architectural boundaries for stakeholders.

Yes, generating C4 architecture diagrams can optionally include API specifications and linkable artifacts, organizing outputs with direct references to the analyzed source files for comprehensive architecture documentation.

Bottom-up code analysis applies to software projects of varying sizes by systematically documenting every subdirectory starting from the deepest paths to capture all code elements before synthesizing higher-level views.

Mapping code components to deployment containers is done through component synthesis, which aggregates code-level documentation into logical components to show responsibilities and boundaries before mapping them to the container level.

A multi-phase workflow ensures comprehensive architecture documentation by sequentially performing code, component, container, and context synthesis, which captures structural details bottom-up while producing consistent stakeholder-facing diagrams.
