Hi, I would like to mention the request to install a new tool for gravitational waves transient catalogs discovery and analysis. Issue #441 on usegalaxy-playbook. Thanks for following-up! Daniel

Thanks for the notice here! I’ve moved the request over into a different repository (where the UseGalaxy.org server installs tools from). → Tool installation request gwtc_analysis (Astronomy) · Issue #1385 · galaxyproject/usegalaxy-tools · GitHub
IUC
For the final part of the development (as you probably know!) the IUC is our tool standards development group.
Using examples from existing tool wrappers along with Planemo for the testing is what they will be advising. Once things are in place you can ask them for a review.
- wrappers here are from the IUC → GitHub - galaxyproject/tools-iuc: Tool Shed repositories maintained by the Intergalactic Utilities Commission · GitHub
- then, everyone uses Welcome to Planemo’s documentation! — Planemo 0.75.41.dev0 documentation
- with all of the different components, including dev instances for testing, covered here → Development in Galaxy / Tutorial List
Collections
For your tool form development around the consuming of collections, I can let you know that each “job” in a collection works just like a regular job, with distinct inputs and outputs, so this is mostly handled by the platform itself, so you may be closer than you think! 
I would suggest trying some tests with Planemo!
Remote indexes
The IUC can also advise about incorporating remote data via an S3 bucket. For an example, this tool seems like it would be interesting to review for how others are doing something similar. It is a distinct query that interacts with large remote data.
The UseGalaxy.eu server might be a choice for the first pass version of your tools, too, since they have already started up this Astronomy tool group. Members of the IUC can guide for this as well.
I hope this helps!
