WHAT — C4 model methodology (Context, Container, Component, Code) guidance — what to draw at each level, when, and how to render C4-inspired diagrams via Mermaid (PlantUML/Structurizr optional advanced). Methodology not renderer.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# C4 Model — Methodology Overlay (WHAT → HOW via Mermaid)

**Sources (2026-08-12):** Simon Brown C4 https://c4model.com/ (Context, Container, Component, Code); Structurizr DSL https://github.com/structurizr/dsl (open-source DSL, paid cloud) + `structurizr-mcp` https://github.com/cubical6/structurizr-mcp + `go-structurizr`; C4-PlantUML https://github.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML; overarch https://github.com/soulspace-org/overarch (PlantUML/Structurizr generation); rendering **via Mermaid** `mermaid-js/mermaid` MIT per §44.

> **Pack:** `architecture` core (`architect + ADR + TRD + threat-model + mermaid (+ C4 via mermaid)`) — `c4-model` teaches *what* to draw; `mermaid` renders it. See `docs/architecture/research-385-diagram.md` for C4 vs Mermaid vs PlantUML/Structurizr decision (Excalidraw/draw.io REJECT).

## When to use

- Need system Context / Container / Component / Code views.

## Instructions

1. **Select level:** Context (system + actors) → Container (apps/data stores) → Component (modules) → Code (classes, optional).
2. **Render via Mermaid** (C4-inspired): `flowchart TD` with `subgraph` for boundaries, e.g.:
   ```mermaid
   flowchart TD

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit/c4-model@sha256:65b2d4c2f03c1d19

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
