We write down the general conditions for N=1 supersymmetric four-dimensional domain walls, deriving them from a ten-dimensional point of view using generalized complex geometry. In cases where the compactification allows for a truncation to a finite number of fields, we make contact with a four-dimensional effective description. In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, the equations can be applied to renormalization-group flows of three-dimensional field theories. We allow for the presence of explicit brane sources and show how supersymmetry restricts their location in a natural way.
