Build AI agents and knowledge bases for Falcon Foundry apps. TRIGGER when user asks to "create an AI agent", "add a Foundry agent", "build a knowledge base", "give my agent documents", "expose a collection as an agent tool", "expose an API operation to an agent", "put my agent in Charlotte", "expose an agent as a tool for other agents", "delete an agent or knowledge base", runs `foundry agents create`, `foundry agents delete`, `foundry knowledge-bases create`, or `foundry knowledge-bases…

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

# Foundry AI Agents and Knowledge Bases

> Create knowledge bases before the agents that reference them, and scaffold both with the CLI.

> **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.

An **AI agent** is a Foundry artifact that pairs a system prompt with a model, a set of tools, and optional knowledge bases. A **knowledge base** is a named bundle of files the agent can draw on. Both live under a single `ai:` block in `manifest.yml`.

Agents are the only consumer of knowledge bases. A knowledge base on its own does nothing; a collection or API integration becomes agent-usable only when it is exposed as a tool and named in the agent's `tools` list.

## Build Order Is Mandatory

```
1. Collections / API integrations   (if the agent needs them as tools)
2. Knowledge bases                  → foundry knowledge-bases create
3. Agents                           → foundry agents create  (exposure via --expose-* flags)
4. Hand-edit ai.agents[].model / .tools   (no CLI flags exist for these two)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add crowdstrike/foundry-skills/ai-agents-development@sha256:078846fa2e677cb1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.7.0, 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.
