collections-development

collections-development is a skill for Claude Code from CrowdStrike/foundry-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (4,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing collections in CrowdStrike Falcon Foundry. Collections are document-based data stores that save application records, validate them against JSON schemas, and support create, read, update, delete, and query operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating collections, defining JSON schemas, enforcing validation, choosing indexable fields, and using FQL queries to access stored app data.
Why use it?
It helps developers define stored data consistently and avoid invalid collection names, schemas, or access patterns.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 85
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 336
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

collections-development 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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 404 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Foundry Collections Development

Part of a suite. If development-workflow has not already run, and this is a new app or its first capability, load the development-workflow skill first — it owns the CLI prerequisite check, scaffolding order, and manifest coordination.

Falcon Foundry Collections are NoSQL document stores with JSON Schema validation. They provide persistent storage for app data with CRUD operations, FQL queries, and schema enforcement.

Collection Naming Constraints

Constraint Rule
Length 5-200 characters
Start/end Must begin and end with a letter or number
Special characters Only underscores (_) allowed — no hyphens, spaces, or other chars
Case Case-sensitive

Collection Description Constraints

Constraint Rule
Length 3-500 characters
Start Must begin with an alphanumeric character
Allowed characters Letters, numbers, spaces, dashes, periods, parentheses, and underscores only
Not allowed Commas, colons, semicolons, quotes, slashes, or other special characters

Check the description against this table before running collections create. The CLI accepts a comma (or any other disallowed character) in --description without complaint; the rejection only surfaces later, from foundry apps validate or deploy, by which time the collection is already in the manifest and has to be fixed by hand. Write the description with letters, numbers, spaces, dashes, periods, parentheses, and underscores only.

Collection Limits

Resource Limit
Single object size ~50 MB
Schema size 256 KB
Object key length 1-1,000 characters
Indexed fields per schema 10
Objects per collection No enforced limit
Collections per app No enforced limit
Search results per page 500 max (default 50)

JSON Schema Requirements

  • JSON Schema draft 7 only — newer drafts (draft/2020-12, draft/2019-09) fail validation
  • Schema is auto-versioned: v1.0 on creation, auto-incremented on modification
  • additionalProperties: false recommended — extra fields leak internal data and break type safety
  • x-cs-indexable: true on individual properties for searchable fields (max 10 per collection)
