Design views with proper includes/excludes and basic layout. Use for include patterns, tag filtering, and simple rank hints. For advanced styling/navigation, use customize-view.
Model deployment infrastructure (environments, zones, VMs, apps) with proper hierarchy and instanceOf links. Organize zones into tiers (DMZ, App, Data, Processing) with rich descriptions including VLAN/network specifications.
Use metadata for system models (business/technical context) and markdown tables for deployment models (infrastructure specs). Makes models queryable and self-documenting.
C4 modeling methodology - design system hierarchy top-to-bottom from Context to Components. Ensures consistent, stakeholder-focused architecture documentation.
Manage likec4.config.json includes and image aliases. Ensures relative paths and preserves existing configuration. Support multi-file organization (system-model + system-views + deployment + operations).
Create elements with proper naming (PascalCase kinds, camelCase vars), required metadata (technology, description), and correct hierarchy.
