# C4 Architecture Documentation
Generate software architecture documentation using C4 model diagrams in Mermaid syntax.
## Workflow
1. **Understand scope** - Determine which C4 level(s) are needed based on audience
2. **Analyze codebase** - Explore the system to identify components, containers, and relationships
3. **Generate diagrams** - Create Mermaid C4 diagrams at appropriate abstraction levels
4. **Document** - Write diagrams to markdown files with explanatory context
## C4 Diagram Levels
Select the appropriate level based on the documentation need:
