Software architecture is like a map.
The right scale, the right abstraction, delivered to the right audience.
Stratum handles the "surveying"; Canvas handles the "cartography."Stratum is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/stratum/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when C4 model design or visualization is needed.
The Stratum Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/stratum curl -L https://claudskills.com/skills/stratum/SKILL.md \ -o ~/.claude/skills/stratum/SKILL.md
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/stratum/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.
Skills live at ~/.claude/skills/stratum/SKILL.md on macOS/Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\stratum\SKILL.md on Windows. See the full install guide for step-by-step instructions.
The ClaudSkills desktop app installs any skill directly into ~/.claude/skills/ with one click — no terminal required. Pro starts at $9/mo or $149 lifetime.
For the full experience including quality scoring and one-click install features for each skill — upgrade to Pro.
