LikeC4 Architecture

Model software architecture in LikeC4, keep it executable, and return validation-backed outputs.

Workflow

1. Scope the model:

• Identify system boundary and audience.
• Start with context and container views unless user asks otherwise.

1. Locate model files:

• Reuse existing .c4/.likec4 files when present.
• If missing, bootstrap from assets/likec4-starter/docs/architecture/model.c4.

1. Model structure before visuals:

• Define stable element IDs and meaningful names.
• Add explicit directional relationships with short labels.
• Add technology/description fields where helpful.

1. Keep views focused:

• Build small, purposeful views.
• Split crowded diagrams by domain, team, or bounded context.

1. Validate and package:

• Run npx likec4 validate and fix all errors.
• Provide npx likec4 start preview command.
• If requested, provide build/export commands.

Required Quality Gates

• Do not leave unlabeled ambiguous relationships.
• Do not leave orphan elements that never appear in views.
• Prefer domain names over implementation noise in element titles.
• Finish only after successful CLI validation.

Command Set

Use the minimal commands needed for the task:

npx likec4 validate
npx likec4 start
npx likec4 build -o ./dist
npx likec4 export png -o ./assets/architecture

Output Contract

When architecture files change, return:

1. Changed files.
2. Validation result.
3. One-line purpose for each view.
4. Preview/build/export command(s) relevant to the request.
