ingenious: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/viz/c4-update.md

c4-update is a command for Claude Code from Insight-Services-APAC/ingenious. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,502 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A command for updating an existing hierarchical C4 architecture model after code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It detects additions, changes, and deletions, applies updates at the relevant C4 levels, verifies them, and finalises the model.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual effort of finding changed files and keeping architecture diagrams and documentation aligned with the code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

c4-update scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

C4 Architecture Update

Update the existing hierarchical C4 model based on code changes.

Prerequisites

Existing model in codemap/<system-id>/. If not present, run /viz/c4-map first.

Orchestration

Phase 1: Detect Changes ──> Phase 2: Plan Updates ──> Phase 3: Apply ──> Phase 4: Verify ──> Phase 5: Finalize

Update order:

  • Deletions: Code -> Component -> Container -> Context (bottom-up)
  • Additions: Context -> Container -> Component -> Code (top-down)
  • Modifications: Affected level + adjacent levels

Phase 1: Change Detection

Step 1A: Identify System

SYSTEM_ID=$(ls codemap/ | head -1)
echo "System ID: $SYSTEM_ID"
find codemap/$SYSTEM_ID -type f \( -name "*.md" -o -name "*.puml" \) | sort

Step 1B: Analyze Changes

LAST_UPDATE=$(git log -1 --format="%H" -- codemap/)
git diff --name-status $LAST_UPDATE..HEAD -- . ':!codemap' ':!*.md' | head -50

Step 1C: Categorize Changes

Tool: Task
Parameters:
  subagent_type: "Explore"
  description: "Detect C4 changes"
  prompt: |
    Analyze code changes and categorize by C4 level.

    EXISTING HIERARCHY: <from Step 1A>
    CHANGED FILES: <from Step 1B>

    GOALS:
    For each changed file:
    1. Determine C4 LEVEL: CONTEXT|CONTAINER|COMPONENT|CODE
    2. Determine CHANGE TYPE: ADDITION|DELETION|MODIFICATION|RENAME
    3. Identify CASCADE effects (parent/child impacts)

    OUTPUT:
    {
      "SYSTEM_ID": "...",
      "CHANGE_SUMMARY": {counts by level},
      "CHANGES": [<per c4-templates.md#change-detection-schema>],
      "STRUCTURAL_CHANGES": {
        "new_containers": [], "removed_containers": [],
        "new_components": [], "removed_components": [],
        "renamed_elements": []
      }
    }

WAIT for Phase 1 to complete.


Phase 2: Impact Analysis

Tool: Task
Parameters:
  subagent_type: "Explore"
  description: "Plan C4 updates"
  model: "haiku"
  prompt: |
    Create update execution plan.

    PHASE 1 OUTPUT: <insert>

    PLANNING RULES:
    1. DELETIONS (bottom-up): code -> component -> container -> context
    2. MODIFICATIONS: affected level + adjacent levels
    3. ADDITIONS (top-down): context -> container -> component -> code
    4. PARALLEL: Same-level operations can run in parallel

    OUTPUT:
    {
      "EXECUTION_PLAN": [
        {"step": N, "phase": "deletion|modification|addition", "depends_on": [], "tasks": [...]}
      ],
      "SUBAGENT_SPAWNS": {"sequential": [], "parallel_safe": []}
    }

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

c4-update is a command published in the GitHub repository Insight-Services-APAC/ingenious (24 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,502 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
