The "Gherkin to C4 Model: AI Architect for Claude Code" skill facilitates the transformation of a Gherkin specification into a C4 architecture model, focusing on a single slice. It generates high-level design and flows and produces a terse Architectural Decision Record (ADR) for any crucial cross-cutting decisions.
What this skill does
Ingests Gherkin specifications located at features/ / .feature and processes them into a linguistic formulation suitable for architectural design.
Outputs the interpreted slice into the C4 architecture model, saved at docs/architecture/.
Produces a concise ADR in docs/adrs/ when essential cross-cutting decisions are involved.
Initiates new C4 architecture models or supplements existing ones using the arc42 order by evaluating existing model implications.
Facilitates design interrogation and documentation using structured questioning to identify potential design choices.
Who it is for
Software architects and developers who utilize Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex for AI-driven development.
Teams working on integrating agile practices with automated architectural documentation.
Professionals seeking efficient methodologies for translating Gherkin specifications into architectural models.
Use cases
Automating the process of deriving architectural overviews from behavior-driven development specifications.
Supporting scenario-based design evaluations in projects using iterative development cycles.
Assisting with documenting architectural decisions in a concise manner when handling complex system integrations.
Technical details
Works with Gherkin specs in the standard Cucumber format.
Utilizes agent-skills and aiapplication tools for processing and generating architecture models compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Structures its output according to the arc42 documentation framework, ensuring comprehensibility and consistency in architectural models.
