Skill instructions
📋 Shared instructions: shared-instructions.md — read first. Add Sample Data Populate Dataverse tables with realistic sample records so a freshly-scaffolded code app shows real-looking data on first launch. Generates rows from each table's schema and inserts them in dependency order. Use after /add-dataverse (or /setup-datamodel) has created the tables. Core principles - Coverage over volume — every table in the manifest gets seeded. The 1 failure mode of a freshly-scaffolded code app is a home / dashboard / list screen that renders an empty state on first launch because its source table has zero rows. An empty downstream table is worse than a 3-row table. Default to minimal-but-complete: small counts everywhere, no table left empty. Volume is a secondary knob — coverage is the contract. - Insertion order matters. Parent / referenced tables must be inserted before child / referencing tables so lookup IDs are available. - Contextual data, not Lorem Ipsum. Generate values that match colu
