What is terraform-konnect?

A Terraform guide for managing Kong Konnect resources in HCL, Terraform's configuration language. Terraform is a tool that creates and maintains infrastructure from configuration files.

Use it to author HCL, import Konnect resources, and prepare plan or apply workflows when a repository already uses Terraform for Konnect.

It helps teams manage Konnect through their existing Terraform modules, state, provider, and continuous-integration practices.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00059	$0.02441
Opus 5.5	$0.00024	$0.00976
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00488
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00244

Security

Grade A, and why

terraform-konnect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Terraform for Konnect

Goal

Author and maintain Konnect resources in HCL using the official Terraform provider while preserving the repository's existing module, state, and CI conventions.

Use this skill for Terraform-managed Konnect work. Do not turn a kongctl or decK repository into Terraform unless the user asks for that migration. Do not treat this skill as the owner for generic backend, state-locking, or provider-install issues unless they directly block Konnect resource work.

Tool Positioning

Use the shared kong-konnect MCP server first for live Konnect inspection when the requested change depends on current state and MCP is available.
Use this skill when the repository already uses Terraform for Konnect or the user explicitly asks for HCL, Terraform Cloud, plan/apply, or provider-based management.
Preserve existing Terraform layout, backend configuration, module structure, and variable conventions.
Prefer the official kong/konnect provider by default and treat kong/konnect-beta as an explicit exception for missing coverage.
Hand off to deck-gateway when the user wants file-based Gateway GitOps or decK export/diff workflows.
Hand off to kongctl-declarative when the repository already uses kongctl YAML instead of HCL.
Hand off to the relevant Konnect domain skill when the main problem is access, publication, runtime health, or another product diagnosis rather than HCL ownership.

References To Load

Load only the reference file that matches the active branch:

references/provider-selection.md
- Load when deciding whether the official kong/konnect provider is enough or whether the user explicitly needs kong/konnect-beta.
references/import-moved-and-adoption.md
- Load when existing Konnect resources must be normalized into Terraform state rather than recreated.
references/module-boundaries.md
- Load when the main question is where a new Konnect resource belongs in an existing Terraform layout.
references/gateway-entities-inside-konnect.md
- Load when the task mixes Konnect platform resources with Gateway entities inside a Konnect control plane.
references/provider-schema-debugging.md
- Load when nested resource shape is unclear, validation reports object-vs-string or similar type mismatches, or provider behavior does not line up cleanly with docs or example HCL.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
