EVE Lab Topology Design

Use this skill as the entrypoint for EVE-NG topology design work.

Core workflow

1. Classify the request: campus, branch/WAN, ISP/SP, data center, or hybrid.
2. If requirements are incomplete, read {baseDir}/references/discovery-workflow.md and gather only the missing details.
3. Summarize requirements and assumptions before proposing a design.
4. Present relevant options and trade-offs; recommend one design.
5. Produce both the physical topology and the logical/protocol topology.
6. Before calling the design complete, read {baseDir}/references/validation-workflow.md and run the required QA structure.
7. If a .unl exists or is built, validate it with {baseDir}/scripts/validate_unl_topology.py and the notes in {baseDir}/references/unl-validator.md.
