Umbraco Collection
This helps Claude build collections in Umbraco's backoffice, the UI pattern for displaying filterable, paginated lists of entities like content items or custom data. It pulls official docs and walks through the full architecture: repository setup, collection context, table/grid views, and bulk actions. The source includes a complete working example with TypeScript interfaces, data source implementations, and proper manifest registration. Useful when you need to surface custom entities in the backoffice with consistent UX, or when you're extending Umbraco beyond its default content tree. The workflow is straightforward: fetch latest docs, define your item model, wire up the repository, then implement views.

Umbraco Collection
What is it?
A Collection displays a list of entities in the Umbraco backoffice with built-in support for multiple views (table, grid), filtering, pagination, selection, and bulk actions. Collections connect to a repository for data and provide a standardized way to browse and interact with lists of items.
