Add or enrich a resource type in an existing RunWhen Local discovery indexer (Azure azureapi, GCP gcpapi, AWS, or Kubernetes). Use when asked to support a new cloud resource type, add a typed SDK collector, fix a resource type mapping, or extend what an indexer discovers. Enforces the registry sync, collector registration, normalizer, tests, docs, and generation-rule contract.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Extend a discovery type

Use this when an **existing** indexer should discover a new resource type or
return richer data for one it already covers. To stand up a brand-new platform,
use the `add-discovery-type` skill instead.

The native SDK indexers (`azureapi`, `gcpapi`, future `awsapi`) all share the
same shape: a **generated registry** maps CloudQuery table names to native
cloud API types, a **generic collector** provides broad parity, and a small set
of **typed collectors** provide rich payloads for high-value types. Read the
canonical worked examples before editing:

- Azure: `docs/architecture/azure-indexer-internals.md`
- GCP: `docs/architecture/gcp-indexer-internals.md`

## Golden rules

1. **Never hand-edit a generated registry YAML** (`src/indexers/*_resource_type_registry.yaml`).
   Edit the overrides file and re-run the sync script.
2. **Maintain CloudQuery parity.** The CloudQuery table name is the public
   `resource_type` contract used in generation rules. New types must resolve by
   their canonical CloudQuery table name (or a registered alias).
3. **Done means done:** code + registry + tests + docs + generation-rule

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add runwhen-contrib/runwhen-local/extend-discovery-type@sha256:3360c72807e9afa1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260630.d9e89df, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
