-# {{ NAME }}
+# IPv6
 
-{{ DESCRIPTION }}
+IPv6 is intended to be a PowerShell module for managing IPv6 networking.
 
-## Prerequisites
+## Status
 
-This uses the following external resources:
-- The [PSModule framework](https://github.com/PSModule/Process-PSModule) for building, testing and publishing the module.
+This repository is currently a placeholder. The module source currently contains only template scaffold commands used by tests, and those commands are not IPv6-focused public API.
 
-## Installation
-
-To install the module from the PowerShell Gallery, you can use the following command:
-
-```powershell
-Install-PSResource -Name {{ NAME }}
-Import-Module -Name {{ NAME }}
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-Here is a list of example that are typical use cases for the module.
-
-### Example 1: Greet an entity
-
-Provide examples for typical commands that a user would like to do with the module.
-
-```powershell
-Greet-Entity -Name 'World'
-Hello, World!
-```
-
-### Example 2
-
-Provide examples for typical commands that a user would like to do with the module.
+No supported IPv6-focused commands or usage examples are available yet. The module is not ready for general installation; contributors can run the repository tests locally with Pester while implementation work is pending:
 
 ```powershell
-Import-Module -Name PSModuleTemplate
+Invoke-Pester
 ```
 
-### Find more examples
-
-To find more examples of how to use the module, please refer to the [examples](examples) folder.
-
-Alternatively, you can use the Get-Command -Module 'This module' to find more commands that are available in the module.
-To find examples of each of the commands you can use Get-Help -Examples 'CommandName'.
-
 ## Documentation
 
-Link to further documentation if available, or describe where in the repository users can find more detailed documentation about
-the module's functions and features.
+When this module is implemented, command details should live in PowerShell help and generated documentation rather than being duplicated in this README.
