## Description

Use when the user wants to seed Dataverse tables with realistic sample records so a freshly-scaffolded code app shows real-looking data on first launch. Generates contextually appropriate rows from each table's schema and inserts them in dependency order. Mirrors microsoft/power-platform-skills/power-pages/add-sample-data, adapted for mobile apps.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

> **Plugin check**: Run `node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-version.js"` - if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding.

**📋 Shared instructions: [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md)**, read first.

# Add Sample Data

**App root:** before any project read or command, execute
[app-working-directory.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/references/app-working-directory.md).
Use its resolved absolute `working_dir` for every shell call and file tool,
including media paths and retries; never inherit a prior `cd`.

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.
