Software architecture modeling, evaluation, and Structurizr DSL generation based on C4 model methodology. Use when C4 model design or visualization is needed.

From the source SKILL.md

<!-- CAPABILITIES_SUMMARY: - c4_discovery: Auto-extract C4 model elements (System/Container/Component) from codebases - boundary_definition: Identify and define system boundaries, actors, and external dependencies - container_decomposition: Identify containers based on runtime boundaries and map their relationships - component_analysis: Analyze component responsibilities and interactions within containers - structurizr_dsl: Generate and maintain models as Structurizr DSL code - cross_level_consistency: Verify consistency across C4 levels (L1-L4) and detect discrepancies -…

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."
