Mock Data Generator

I'll generate realistic mock data and test fixtures based on TypeScript types, JSON schemas, database schemas, or API specifications.

Data Sources:

• TypeScript interfaces and types
• JSON Schema definitions
• Database schemas (Prisma, TypeORM, Drizzle)
• OpenAPI/Swagger specifications
• GraphQL schemas

Token Optimization

This skill uses multiple optimization strategies to minimize token usage while maintaining realistic mock data generation:

1. Schema Detection Caching (500 token savings)

Pattern: Cache schema file locations and metadata to avoid repeated searches

# Cache file: .mock-generate-schemas.cache
# Format: schema_type:file_path (one per line)
# TTL: 1 hour (schemas change less frequently)

if [ -f ".mock-generate-schemas.cache" ] && [ $(($(date +%s) - $(stat -c %Y .mock-generate-schemas.cache))) -lt 3600 ]; then
    # Read cached schema locations (100 tokens)
    SCHEMAS=$(cat .mock-generate-schemas.cache)
else
    # Full schema detection (600 tokens)
    detect_schemas
    echo "$SCHEMAS" > .mock-generate-schemas.cache
fi

Savings:

• Cached: ~100 tokens (read cache file)
• Uncached: ~600 tokens (find TypeScript types, JSON schemas, Prisma, OpenAPI, GraphQL)
• 500 token savings (83%) for subsequent runs

2. Grep-Based Type Discovery (800 token savings)

Pattern: Use Grep to find type definitions instead of reading all files

# Instead of: Read all TypeScript files (2,000+ tokens)
# Use: Grep for interface/type patterns (150 tokens)

# Find TypeScript interfaces
TS_TYPES=$(grep -r "^interface\|^type " \
    --include="*.ts" \
    ! -path "*/node_modules/*" \
    ! -path "*/dist/*" \
    -l . | head -20)

# Find specific interfaces by name
grep -r "^interface User\|^type User" --include="*.ts" -A 20 .

Savings:

• Grep approach: ~150 tokens (pattern matching only)
• Full file read: ~950 tokens (read all TypeScript files)
• 800 token savings (84%)

3. Template-Based Faker.js Generation (1,200 token savings)

Pattern: Use predefined Faker.js templates instead of LLM-generated mock functions

# Instead of: LLM-generated mock functions (1,500 tokens per type)
# Use: Template-based generation (300 tokens per type)

generate_mock_template() {
    local interface_name="$1"

    cat <<'EOF'
export function createMock${interface_name}(overrides?: Partial<${interface_name}>): ${interface_name} {
  return {
    id: faker.string.uuid(),
    name: faker.person.fullName(),
    email: faker.internet.email(),
    createdAt: faker.date.past(),
    ...overrides,
  };
}

export function createMock${interface_name}s(count: number = 10): ${interface_name}[] {
  return Array.from({ length: count }, () => createMock${interface_name}());
}
EOF
}

Savings:

• Template-based: ~300 tokens (parameter substitution)
• LLM-generated: ~1,500 tokens (full generation with analysis)
• 1,200 token savings (80%) per type

4. Sample-Based Type Analysis (1,000 token savings)

Pattern: Generate mocks for first 10-20 types, not all at once

# Instead of: Process all 50+ types (7,500+ tokens)
# Process: First 10 types only (1,500 tokens)

SAMPLE_SIZE=10

echo "$TS_TYPES" | head -$SAMPLE_SIZE | while read file; do
    # Extract first interface from file
    interface_name=$(grep "^interface " "$file" | head -1 | awk '{print $2}')
    generate_mock_template "$interface_name"
done

Savings:

• Full generation: ~7,500 tokens (50+ types)
• Sample generation: ~1,500 tokens (10 types)
• 1,000 token savings (87%) per batch
• Users can run multiple times for comprehensive coverage

5. Early Exit for Existing Mocks (90% savings)

Pattern: Check if mock files already exist before generating

# Quick check: Do mock files exist?
MOCK_DIR="src/__mocks__"

if [ -d "$MOCK_DIR" ] && [ $(find "$MOCK_DIR" -name "*.mock.ts" | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; then
    echo "⚠️  Mock files already exist in $MOCK_DIR"
    read -p "Regenerate mocks? (y/n): " confirm
    if [ "$confirm" != "y" ]; then
        echo "✓ Using existing mocks"
        exit 0  # 150 tokens total
    fi
fi

# Otherwise: Full mock generation (3,000+ tokens)

Savings:

• Existing mocks: ~150 tokens (early exit)
• Full generation: ~3,000+ tokens
• 2,850+ token savings (95%) when mocks exist

6. Schema Snapshot Caching (600 token savings)

Pattern: Cache parsed schema structures to avoid re-parsing

# Cache file: .mock-generate-parsed-schemas.json
# Format: JSON with type definitions
# TTL: 5 minutes (during active development)

parse_schema_cached() {
    local schema_file="$1"
    local cache_file=".mock-generate-parsed-schemas.json"
    local cache_key=$(echo "$schema_file" | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f1)

    if [ -f "$cache_file" ]; then
        cached_schema=$(jq -r ".\"$cache_key\"" "$cache_file" 2>/dev/null)
        if [ "$cached_schema" != "null" ]; then
            echo "$cached_schema"  # 50 tokens
            return
        fi
    fi

    # Parse schema (650 tokens)
    parsed=$(parse_schema "$schema_file")
    jq -n --arg key "$cache_key" --arg val "$parsed" '{($key): $val}' > "$cache_file"
    echo "$parsed"
}

Savings:

• Cached parse: ~50 tokens
• Fresh parse: ~650 tokens (TypeScript parsing, JSON Schema validation)
• 600 token savings (92%) for subsequent runs

7. Incremental Mock Generation (500 token savings)

Pattern: Track generated mock files to avoid regeneration

# Cache file: .mock-generate-completed.cache
# Format: type_name:mock_file_path (one per line)
# TTL: Session-based (cleared manually)

is_mock_generated() {
    local type_name="$1"
    grep -q "^$type_name:" .mock-generate-completed.cache 2>/dev/null
}

# Skip already generated mocks
if ! is_mock_generated "$interface_name"; then
    generate_mock_file "$interface_name"
    echo "$interface_name:$mock_file" >> .mock-generate-completed.cache
else
    echo "  ✓ Mock for $interface_name already exists"
fi

Savings:

• Skip generated: ~50 tokens (cache check)
• Generate new: ~550 tokens (template expansion and file write)
• 500 token savings (91%) for already generated mocks

8. Faker.js Method Mapping Cache (300 token savings)

Pattern: Cache type-to-Faker.js method mappings

# Cache file: .mock-generate-faker-mapping.json
# Format: {"string:email": "faker.internet.email()", ...}
# TTL: 24 hours (mapping rarely changes)

get_faker_method() {
    local type="$1"
    local format="$2"
    local cache_file=".mock-generate-faker-mapping.json"

    if [ -f "$cache_file" ]; then
        method=$(jq -r ".\"$type:$format\"" "$cache_file" 2>/dev/null)
        if [ "$method" != "null" ]; then
            echo "$method"  # 30 tokens
            return
        fi
    fi

    # Determine Faker method (330 tokens)
    case "$type:$format" in
        "string:email") method="faker.internet.email()" ;;
        "string:uuid") method="faker.string.uuid()" ;;
        "string:url") method="faker.internet.url()" ;;
        # ... more mappings
    esac

    jq -n --arg key "$type:$format" --arg val "$method" '{($key): $val}' > "$cache_file"
    echo "$method"
}

Savings:

• Cached mapping: ~30 tokens
• Fresh mapping: ~330 tokens (type analysis and method selection)
• 300 token savings (91%) per type field

9. Real-World Token Usage Distribution

Typical Scenarios:

1. First Run - Large Project (2,500-4,000 tokens)

   • Schema detection: 600 tokens
   • Grep for types: 150 tokens
   • Parse 10 schemas: 650 tokens
   • Generate 10 mock files: 300 tokens/type × 10 = 3,000 tokens
   • Faker mapping: 330 tokens
   • Total: ~4,730 tokens

2. Subsequent Run - Same Project (800-1,200 tokens)

   • Schema detection (cached): 100 tokens
   • Grep for types: 150 tokens
   • Parse schemas (cached): 50 tokens
   • Generate remaining mocks: 300 tokens/type × 10 = 3,000 tokens
   • Faker mapping (cached): 30 tokens
   • Skip existing: 50 tokens
   • Total: ~3,380 tokens

3. Existing Mocks Present (100-200 tokens)

   • Schema detection (cached): 100 tokens
   • Check existing mocks: 50 tokens
   • Early exit: 50 tokens
   • Total: ~200 tokens

4. Small Project (1,000-1,800 tokens)

   • Schema detection: 600 tokens
   • Grep for 3 types: 150 tokens
   • Parse 3 schemas: 650 tokens
   • Generate 3 mock files: 300 tokens/type × 3 = 900 tokens
   • Total: ~2,300 tokens

Expected Token Savings:

• Average 55% reduction from baseline (4,000 → 1,800 tokens)
• 95% reduction when mocks already exist
• Aggregate savings: 2,000-2,500 tokens per mock generation session

Optimization Summary

Strategy	Savings	When Applied
Schema detection caching	500 tokens (83%)	Subsequent runs
Grep-based type discovery	800 tokens (84%)	Always
Template-based generation	1,200 tokens (80%)	Per type
Sample-based type analysis	1,000 tokens (87%)	Large projects
Early exit for existing mocks	2,850 tokens (95%)	Mocks already exist
Schema snapshot caching	600 tokens (92%)	Subsequent runs
Incremental mock generation	500 tokens (91%)	Re-running
Faker mapping cache	300 tokens (91%)	Per field type

Key Insight: The combination of template-based generation, schema caching, and sample-based processing provides 55-65% token reduction while maintaining realistic mock data quality. Early exit patterns provide 95% savings when mocks already exist.

Best Practices

Mock Data Quality:

• Use realistic data from Faker.js
• Match actual data constraints
• Include edge cases
• Support deterministic generation (seeds)

Test Fixtures:

• Create factory functions
• Support partial overrides
• Define common traits
• Keep fixtures DRY

Integration Points:

• /test - Generate tests with mocks
• /seed-data - Database seeding
• /api-test-generate - API test mocks

What I'll Actually Do

1. Detect schemas - Find type definitions
2. Install dependencies - Faker.js if needed
3. Generate mock functions - Type-safe generators
4. Create fixtures - Test fixture factories
5. Database seeds - Seed data scripts
6. Document usage - Examples and patterns

Important: I will NEVER:

• Generate invalid data for schemas
• Hardcode sensitive data
• Create non-deterministic tests without seeds
• Add AI attribution
