+# 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:
+
+| Level | Diagram Type | Audience | Shows | When to Create |
+|-------|-------------|----------|-------|----------------|
+| 1 | **C4Context** | Everyone | System + external actors | Always (required) |
+| 2 | **C4Container** | Technical | Apps, databases, services | Always (required) |
+| 3 | **C4Component** | Developers | Internal components | Only if adds value |
+| 4 | **C4Deployment** | DevOps | Infrastructure nodes | For production systems |
+| - | **C4Dynamic** | Technical | Request flows (numbered) | For complex workflows |
+
+**Key Insight:** "Context + Container diagrams are sufficient for most software development teams." Only create Component/Code diagrams when they genuinely add value.
+
+## Quick Start Examples
+
+### System Context (Level 1)
+```mermaid
+C4Context
+  title System Context - Workout Tracker
+
+  Person(user, "User", "Tracks workouts and exercises")
+  System(app, "Workout Tracker", "Vue PWA for tracking strength and CrossFit workouts")
+  System_Ext(browser, "Web Browser", "Stores data in IndexedDB")
+
+  Rel(user, app, "Uses")
+  Rel(app, browser, "Persists data to", "IndexedDB")
+```
+
+### Container Diagram (Level 2)
+```mermaid
+C4Container
+  title Container Diagram - Workout Tracker
+
+  Person(user, "User", "Tracks workouts")
+
+  Container_Boundary(app, "Workout Tracker PWA") {
+    Container(spa, "SPA", "Vue 3, TypeScript", "Single-page application")
+    Container(pinia, "State Management", "Pinia", "Manages application state")
+    ContainerDb(indexeddb, "IndexedDB", "Dexie", "Local workout storage")
+  }
+
+  Rel(user, spa, "Uses")
+  Rel(spa, pinia, "Reads/writes state")
+  Rel(pinia, indexeddb, "Persists", "Dexie ORM")
+```
+
+### Component Diagram (Level 3)
+```mermaid
+C4Component
+  title Component Diagram - Workout Feature
+
+  Container(views, "Views", "Vue Router pages")
+
+  Container_Boundary(workout, "Workout Feature") {
+    Component(useWorkout, "useWorkout", "Composable", "Workout execution state")
+    Component(useTimer, "useTimer", "Composable", "Timer state machine")
+    Component(workoutRepo, "WorkoutRepository", "Dexie", "Workout persistence")
+  }
+
+  Rel(views, useWorkout, "Uses")
+  Rel(useWorkout, useTimer, "Controls")
+  Rel(useWorkout, workoutRepo, "Saves to")
+```
+
+### Dynamic Diagram (Request Flow)
+```mermaid
+C4Dynamic
+  title Dynamic Diagram - User Sign In Flow
+
+  ContainerDb(db, "Database", "PostgreSQL", "User credentials")
+  Container(spa, "Single-Page App", "React", "Banking UI")
+
+  Container_Boundary(api, "API Application") {
+    Component(signIn, "Sign In Controller", "Express", "Auth endpoint")
+    Component(security, "Security Service", "JWT", "Validates credentials")
+  }
+
+  Rel(spa, signIn, "1. Submit credentials", "JSON/HTTPS")
+  Rel(signIn, security, "2. Validate")
+  Rel(security, db, "3. Query user", "SQL")
+
+  UpdateRelStyle(spa, signIn, $textColor="blue", $offsetY="-30")
+```
+
+### Deployment Diagram
+```mermaid
+C4Deployment
+  title Deployment Diagram - Production
+
+  Deployment_Node(browser, "Customer Browser", "Chrome/Firefox") {
+    Container(spa, "SPA", "React", "Web application")
+  }
+
+  Deployment_Node(aws, "AWS Cloud", "us-east-1") {
+    Deployment_Node(ecs, "ECS Cluster", "Fargate") {
+      Container(api, "API Service", "Node.js", "REST API")
+    }
+    Deployment_Node(rds, "RDS", "db.r5.large") {
+      ContainerDb(db, "Database", "PostgreSQL", "Application data")
+    }
+  }
+
+  Rel(spa, api, "API calls", "HTTPS")
+  Rel(api, db, "Reads/writes", "JDBC")
+```
+
+## Element Syntax
+
+### People and Systems
+```
+Person(alias, "Label", "Description")
+Person_Ext(alias, "Label", "Description")       # External person
+System(alias, "Label", "Description")
+System_Ext(alias, "Label", "Description")       # External system
+SystemDb(alias, "Label", "Description")         # Database system
+SystemQueue(alias, "Label", "Description")      # Queue system
+```
+
+### Containers
+```
+Container(alias, "Label", "Technology", "Description")
+Container_Ext(alias, "Label", "Technology", "Description")
+ContainerDb(alias, "Label", "Technology", "Description")
+ContainerQueue(alias, "Label", "Technology", "Description")
+```
+
+### Components
+```
+Component(alias, "Label", "Technology", "Description")
+Component_Ext(alias, "Label", "Technology", "Description")
+ComponentDb(alias, "Label", "Technology", "Description")
+```
+
+### Boundaries
+```
+Enterprise_Boundary(alias, "Label") { ... }
+System_Boundary(alias, "Label") { ... }
+Container_Boundary(alias, "Label") { ... }
+Boundary(alias, "Label", "type") { ... }
+```
+
+### Relationships
+```
+Rel(from, to, "Label")
+Rel(from, to, "Label", "Technology")
+BiRel(from, to, "Label")                        # Bidirectional
+Rel_U(from, to, "Label")                        # Upward
+Rel_D(from, to, "Label")                        # Downward
+Rel_L(from, to, "Label")                        # Leftward
+Rel_R(from, to, "Label")                        # Rightward
+```
+
+### Deployment Nodes
+```
+Deployment_Node(alias, "Label", "Type", "Description") { ... }
+Node(alias, "Label", "Type", "Description") { ... }  # Shorthand
+```
+
+## Styling and Layout
+
+### Layout Configuration
+```
+UpdateLayoutConfig($c4ShapeInRow="3", $c4BoundaryInRow="1")
+```
+- `$c4ShapeInRow` - Number of shapes per row (default: 4)
+- `$c4BoundaryInRow` - Number of boundaries per row (default: 2)
+
+### Element Styling
+```
+UpdateElementStyle(alias, $fontColor="red", $bgColor="grey", $borderColor="red")
+```
+
+### Relationship Styling
+```
+UpdateRelStyle(from, to, $textColor="blue", $lineColor="blue", $offsetX="5", $offsetY="-10")
+```
+Use `$offsetX` and `$offsetY` to fix overlapping relationship labels.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Essential Rules
+
+1. **Every element must have**: Name, Type, Technology (where applicable), and Description
+2. **Use unidirectional arrows only** - Bidirectional arrows create ambiguity
+3. **Label arrows with action verbs** - "Sends email using", "Reads from", not just "uses"
+4. **Include technology labels** - "JSON/HTTPS", "JDBC", "gRPC"
+5. **Stay under 20 elements per diagram** - Split complex systems into multiple diagrams
+
+### Clarity Guidelines
+
+1. **Start at Level 1** - Context diagrams help frame the system scope
+2. **One diagram per file** - Keep diagrams focused on a single abstraction level
+3. **Meaningful aliases** - Use descriptive aliases (e.g., `orderService` not `s1`)
+4. **Concise descriptions** - Keep descriptions under 50 characters when possible
+5. **Always include a title** - "System Context diagram for [System Name]"
+
+### What to Avoid
+
+See [references/common-mistakes.md](references/common-mistakes.md) for detailed anti-patterns:
+- Confusing containers (deployable) vs components (non-deployable)
+- Modeling shared libraries as containers
+- Showing message brokers as single containers instead of individual topics
+- Adding undefined abstraction levels like "subcomponents"
+- Removing type labels to "simplify" diagrams
+
+## Microservices Guidelines
+
+### Single Team Ownership
+Model each microservice as a **container** (or container group):
+```mermaid
+C4Container
+  title Microservices - Single Team
+
+  System_Boundary(platform, "E-commerce Platform") {
+    Container(orderApi, "Order Service", "Spring Boot", "Order processing")
+    ContainerDb(orderDb, "Order DB", "PostgreSQL", "Order data")
+    Container(inventoryApi, "Inventory Service", "Node.js", "Stock management")
+    ContainerDb(inventoryDb, "Inventory DB", "MongoDB", "Stock data")
+  }
+```
+
+### Multi-Team Ownership
+Promote microservices to **software systems** when owned by separate teams:
+```mermaid
+C4Context
+  title Microservices - Multi-Team
+
+  Person(customer, "Customer", "Places orders")
+  System(orderSystem, "Order System", "Team Alpha")
+  System(inventorySystem, "Inventory System", "Team Beta")
+  System(paymentSystem, "Payment System", "Team Gamma")
+
+  Rel(customer, orderSystem, "Places orders")
+  Rel(orderSystem, inventorySystem, "Checks stock")
+  Rel(orderSystem, paymentSystem, "Processes payment")
+```
+
+### Event-Driven Architecture
+Show individual topics/queues as containers, NOT a single "Kafka" box:
+```mermaid
+C4Container
+  title Event-Driven Architecture
+
+  Container(orderService, "Order Service", "Java", "Creates orders")
+  Container(stockService, "Stock Service", "Java", "Manages inventory")
+  ContainerQueue(orderTopic, "order.created", "Kafka", "Order events")
+  ContainerQueue(stockTopic, "stock.reserved", "Kafka", "Stock events")
+
+  Rel(orderService, orderTopic, "Publishes to")
+  Rel(stockService, orderTopic, "Subscribes to")
+  Rel(stockService, stockTopic, "Publishes to")
+  Rel(orderService, stockTopic, "Subscribes to")
+```
+
+## Output Location
+
+Write architecture documentation to `docs/architecture/` with naming convention:
+- `c4-context.md` - System context diagram
+- `c4-containers.md` - Container diagram
+- `c4-components-{feature}.md` - Component diagrams per feature
+- `c4-deployment.md` - Deployment diagram
+- `c4-dynamic-{flow}.md` - Dynamic diagrams for specific flows
+
+## Audience-Appropriate Detail
+
+| Audience | Recommended Diagrams |
+|----------|---------------------|
+| Executives | System Context only |
+| Product Managers | Context + Container |
+| Architects | Context + Container + key Components |
+| Developers | All levels as needed |
+| DevOps | Container + Deployment |
