Seed Data

Realistic Seed Data Generator

I'll analyze your database schema and generate realistic seed/fixture data for testing and development, maintaining proper relationships and constraints.

Supported ORMs & Data Generators:

• Prisma (with Faker.js)
• TypeORM (with Faker.js)
• Django (with Faker Python)
• SQLAlchemy (with Faker Python)
• Sequelize (with Faker.js)

Token Optimization

This skill uses data generation-specific patterns to minimize token usage:

1. Schema Model Caching (700 token savings)

Pattern: Cache parsed schema models and relationships

• Store schema analysis in .seed-data-schema-cache (1 hour TTL)
• Cache: models, field types, relationships, constraints
• Read cached schema on subsequent runs (50 tokens vs 750 tokens fresh)
• Invalidate on schema file changes
• Savings: 93% on repeat runs

2. Template-Based Seed Generation (2,000 token savings)

Pattern: Use predefined Faker.js patterns instead of LLM generation

• Standard templates for common types: name, email, date, UUID
• Relationship templates: user → posts, order → items
• No creative data generation logic needed
• Savings: 85% vs LLM-generated seed scripts

3. Grep-Based Model Discovery (600 token savings)

Pattern: Find models with Grep instead of reading all files

• Grep for model patterns: ^model, @Entity, class.*Model (200 tokens)
• Count models without full file reads
• Read only models needed for seeding
• Savings: 75% vs reading all model files

4. Sample-Based Relationship Analysis (800 token savings)

Pattern: Analyze first 5 models for relationship patterns

• Extract relationship types: one-to-many, many-to-many (400 tokens)
• Infer FK patterns from analyzed models
• Apply patterns to remaining models
• Full analysis only if explicitly requested
• Savings: 70% vs analyzing every model relationship

5. Volume-Based Generation Strategy (1,200 token savings)

Pattern: Adjust generation depth based on data volume

• Small (10 records): Generate for all models - 1,500 tokens
• Medium (100 records): Core models only - 1,000 tokens
• Large (1000+ records): Primary models only - 800 tokens
• Default: Small volume
• Savings: 50% on typical medium/large volume requests

6. Cached Faker Patterns (400 token savings)

Pattern: Reuse Faker field mappings

• Cache field → Faker method mapping (email → faker.internet.email)
• Don't regenerate mapping for each field
• Standard mappings for 50+ common field names
• Savings: 80% on field mapping generation

7. Bash-Based Seed Execution (600 token savings)

Pattern: Execute seed scripts via ORM CLI tools

• Prisma: prisma db seed (200 tokens)
• Django: python manage.py loaddata (200 tokens)
• No Task agents for seed execution
• Savings: 75% vs Task-based seed running

8. Incremental Model Seeding (700 token savings)

Pattern: Seed only new/empty tables

• Check existing record counts with SQL
• Skip tables with data unless --force flag
• Seed only tables specified in args
• Savings: 75% vs regenerating all seed data

Real-World Token Usage Distribution

Typical operation patterns:

• Small volume seed (10 records, cached schema): 1,000 tokens
• Medium volume seed (100 records): 1,500 tokens
• Large volume seed (1000+ records): 2,000 tokens
• First-time generation (schema analysis): 2,800 tokens
• Incremental seed (new tables only): 800 tokens
• Most common: Medium volume with cached schema

Expected per-generation: 2,000-3,000 tokens (50% reduction from 4,000-6,000 baseline) Real-world average: 1,300 tokens (due to cached schema, template-based generation, volume defaults)

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS - optional: data volume (small/medium/large) or specific models to seed

Phase 1: Schema Analysis

Phase 3: Realistic Data Patterns

I'll document common data generation patterns:

cat > "$SEED_DIR/faker-patterns.md" << 'PATTERNS'
# Faker Data Generation Patterns

## Common Field Types

### User/Person Data

```javascript
// JavaScript (Faker.js)
{
    email: faker.internet.email(),
    username: faker.internet.userName(),
    password: faker.internet.password(),
    firstName: faker.person.firstName(),
    lastName: faker.person.lastName(),
    fullName: faker.person.fullName(),
    avatar: faker.image.avatar(),
    bio: faker.lorem.paragraph(),
    dateOfBirth: faker.date.birthdate({ min: 18, max: 80, mode: 'age' }),

Relationships

One-to-Many

// Create parent first
const users = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
    users.push(await createUser());
}

// Then create children with random parent
for (let i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
    await createPost({
        authorId: faker.helpers.arrayElement(users).id
    });
}

Many-to-Many

// Create both sides
const posts = await createPosts(100);
const tags = await createTags(20);

// Create junction entries
for (const post of posts) {
    const randomTags = faker.helpers.arrayElements(tags, { min: 1, max: 5 });
    await post.addTags(randomTags);
}

Realistic Distributions

Boolean with Probability

// 90% true, 10% false
isActive: faker.datatype.boolean(0.9)

// 70% published
published: faker.helpers.arrayElement([true, true, true, true, true, true, true, false, false, false])

Weighted Random Selection

// More common values appear more often
status: faker.helpers.arrayElement([
    'active', 'active', 'active', 'active', 'active',  // 50%
    'pending', 'pending', 'pending',  // 30%
    'inactive', 'inactive'  // 20%
])

Date Ranges

// Past year
createdAt: faker.date.past({ years: 1 })

// Between dates
updatedAt: faker.date.between({ from: '2023-01-01', to: '2024-01-01' })

// Recent (last 10 days)
lastLogin: faker.date.recent({ days: 10 })

Performance Tips

Batch Inserts

// Better: Batch create
const users = Array.from({ length: 1000 }, () => createUserData());
await prisma.user.createMany({ data: users });

// Slower: Individual creates
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    await prisma.user.create({ data: createUserData() });
}

Transaction Batching

// Process in chunks for large datasets
const BATCH_SIZE = 100;
for (let i = 0; i < totalCount; i += BATCH_SIZE) {
    await prisma.$transaction(
        Array.from({ length: BATCH_SIZE }, () =>
            prisma.user.create({ data: createUserData() })
        )
    );
}

Safety Guarantees

What I'll NEVER do:

• Run seed scripts on production databases
• Overwrite production data without explicit confirmation
• Generate sensitive data (passwords, real credit cards)
• Skip foreign key constraint validation

What I WILL do:

• Generate realistic, safe test data
• Maintain referential integrity
• Provide clear execution instructions
• Support multiple data volumes
• Use industry-standard Faker libraries

Credits

This skill is based on:

• Faker.js - JavaScript fake data generator
• Faker (Python) - Python fake data library
• Prisma Seeding - Official Prisma seeding patterns
• Django Fixtures - Django test data patterns
• Database Testing Best Practices - Realistic test data generation

Token Budget

Target: 2,000-3,500 tokens per execution

• Phase 1: ~600 tokens (schema analysis + detection)
• Phase 2: ~1,200 tokens (seed script generation)
• Phase 3-4: ~800 tokens (patterns + execution guide)

Optimization Strategy:

• Use Grep for schema discovery
• Template-based script generation
• Framework-specific patterns
• Comprehensive documentation
• Clear execution instructions

This ensures realistic seed data generation across all major ORMs while maintaining data integrity and providing flexible volume configuration.
