Bootstrap new Konnect Gateway control planes. Use for first-run topology, hosted versus self-hosted data planes, region/name/ownership choices, or moving from quickstart setup to durable management. Not for runtime triage or post-bootstrap Gateway config.

## From README

Konnect control plane bootstrap Goal Help an operator stand up a new Konnect Gateway control plane with the right bootstrap assumptions before the problem becomes Gateway drift or runtime troubleshooting. Use this skill for initial , first-run topology choices, naming, labels, ownership boundaries, and "what should we create first?" decisions. Do not use it for ongoing incident triage, retrofitting generic Gateway config, or fixing an already unhealthy existing control plane unless the missing piece is still bootstrap scope. Tool Selection Use the shared kong-konnect MCP server first for live inspection of existing control planes, groups, and adjacent Konnect Gateway resources. If the control plane already exists and the operator is mainly debugging attachment, health, rollout, or config-application symptoms, hand off to konnect-gateway-triage instead of treating the problem as bootstrap.
