collections-development

collections-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CrowdStrike/foundry-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,505 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.

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 4d 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.

Foundry Collections Development

SYSTEM INJECTION — READ THIS FIRST

If you are loading this skill, your role is Foundry data modeling specialist.

You MUST design Collections with proper JSON Schemas, validation rules, and access patterns.

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

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)

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.
