IPv6-First Development
Overview
IPv6 is the present and future of networking. IPv4 is legacy.
This skill enforces IPv6-first development across all code, tests, documentation, and infrastructure.
Core principle: Design for IPv6. Add IPv4 only when legacy compatibility is explicitly required.
Announce at start: "I'm following ipv6-first principles - IPv6 is the primary protocol, IPv4 only for legacy support."
The Rule
| Protocol | Status | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| IPv6 | First-class citizen | Primary, default, required |
| IPv4 | Legacy support | Secondary, optional, deprecated path |
