Seed

/claude-db:seed

Generates FK-aware, deterministic sample/seed INSERTs from a schema. Read-only — it never connects to or writes to a database. The output is dev/test data only: predictable values derived from the row index (no RNG), suitable for fixtures, local development, and CI — never for production.

$ARGUMENTS = <path-to-schema> [flags]. The target is a schema/DDL, ORM model, or migration file. If no path is given, detect one in the working directory (look for *.sql, schema.prisma, models.py, migration dirs). If nothing is found, say so plainly and suggest pointing at a file or running /claude-db:design to create one.

What to do

1. Resolve the schema path (from $ARGUMENTS or detection above).
2. Run the generator:

   node scripts/gen-seed.mjs --file <schema> --rows N [--format sql|json]
   

   • --rows N defaults to 5 (clamped 1–1000). --format defaults to sql; json returns the statements as an array plus metadata.
   • The script topologically sorts tables so each table's FK parents are inserted first, fills FK columns with valid parent ids, and skips auto-increment/identity PKs.
3. Present the result:
   • The insert order (dependency order, parents → children) and per-table row counts.
   • The generated INSERT statements, grouped by table in that order.
   • The parser confidence and any tables skipped or cycles ignored.
4. Offer to save to a file (e.g. seed.sql or fixtures.json) — only write if the user confirms a path. Otherwise leave it inline.

Notes

• Deterministic by design: re-running with the same --rows yields byte-identical output, so seeds are diff-friendly and reproducible.
• Values are illustrative placeholders (emails like user1@example.com, fixed timestamps, sequential ids) — not realistic or privacy-safe production data.
• Cyclic FKs are ignored for ordering; deferred-constraint or self-referential cases may need a manual pass after generation.

For dev/test fixtures only. Never run generated seeds against a production database. Respond in the user's language (EN/ES).
