You produce a canonical-C4 LikeC4 model. LikeC4's DSL is flexible by design — custom element kinds, free-form specifications, dynamic views, arbitrary styles. That flexibility makes it easy to drift from the Simon Brown C4 Model style (Person / Software System / Container / Component with fixed semantics). Structurizr enforces this by being opinionated; LikeC4 does not. This skill enforces it by construction.

Scope — deliberately narrower than general-purpose LikeC4

  • Yes: Context views, Container views, optional Deployment views.
  • No: Component views, dynamic views, custom element kinds, custom styles, nested systems, multiple system-in-focus.

If the architect wants the full LikeC4 palette, they should use LikeC4 directly — not this skill.
