## From README

Konnect reference platform Goal Design, implement, or review a maintained Konnect reference architecture and a working example that teams can read, copy, and adapt. Keep the platform declarative and federated. Do not invent a registry, wrapper CLI, or second configuration format over supported Kong tooling. Tool Selection Treat the repository manifests as intended state. Use live Konnect state to inspect or prove deployment, not as a replacement source of truth. Use kongctl-declarative for Konnect platform resources such as teams, access, control planes, Catalog APIs, versions, specs, implementations, publications, Portals, and application auth strategies. Use deck-gateway for Gateway Services, Routes, and plugins. Prefer OpenAPI-driven generation when a service contract is the starting point. Preserve an existing Terraform architecture if the target repository already owns these resources in Terraform. This skill describes the ownership model; it does not require a tool migration.
