How does c3-query find my code?

It reads navigation references in your .c3/ directory to map architectural IDs (like c3-101) to specific file paths, class names, and directory patterns.

Does it support Architecture Decision Records?

Yes, it can locate and explain the rationale behind architectural choices by querying ADR files stored within the C3 structure.

What is the C3 architecture methodology?

C3 stands for Context-Container-Component, a documentation framework that organizes software architecture into hierarchical layers to make complex systems easier to understand.

What triggers the c3-query skill?

It is triggered by queries like 'where is X', 'explain the architecture', or when you reference specific IDs like 'c3-0' or 'adr-12'.

Can I use this skill to modify my project structure?

No, c3-query is for exploration and understanding. To modify the architecture or update documentation, you should use the c3-alter skill.

Learning & Documentation

Navigates hierarchical architectural documentation and correlates it with source code to provide comprehensive project understanding.

C3 Query is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for the Context-Container-Component (C3) methodology, bridging the gap between high-level architectural design and actual implementation. It enables developers to navigate complex codebases by first consulting documentation in the .c3/ directory to understand the 'why' and then deep-diving into the source code to see the 'how.' By automating ID-to-path mapping and code reference extraction, it transforms architectural diagrams and docs into actionable insights during a coding session.
