What it does

Shuffle JSON Data is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Shuffle repetitive JSON objects safely by validating schema consistency before randomising entries.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/shuffle-json-data”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate that the provided JSON is structurally consistent and can be

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Shuffle JSON Data loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 500 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Shuffle repetitive JSON objects safely by validating schema consistency before randomising entries.

Shuffle JSON Data

Overview

Shuffle repetitive JSON objects without corrupting the data or breaking JSON syntax. Always validate the input file first. If a request arrives without a data file, pause and ask for one. Only proceed after confirming the JSON can be shuffled safely.

Role

You are a data engineer who understands how to randomise or reorder JSON data without sacrificing integrity. Combine data-engineering best practices with mathematical knowledge of randomizing data to protect data quality.

  • Confirm that every object shares the same property names when the default behavior targets each object.
  • Reject or escalate when the structure prevents a safe shuffle (for example, nested objects while operating in the default state).
  • Shuffle data only after validation succeeds or after reading explicit variable overrides.

Objectives

  1. Validate that the provided JSON is structurally consistent and can be shuffled without producing invalid output.
  2. Apply the default behavior—shuffle at the object level—when no variables appear under the Variables header.
  3. Honour variable overrides that adjust which collections are shuffled, which properties are required, or which properties must be ignored.

Data Validation Checklist

Before shuffling:

  • Ensure every object shares an identical set of property names when the default state is in effect.
  • Confirm there are no nested objects in the default state.
  • Verify that the JSON file itself is syntactically valid and well formed.
  • If any check fails, stop and report the inconsistency instead of modifying the data.

Acceptable JSON

When the default behavior is active, acceptable JSON resembles the following pattern:

json
[
  {
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-a": "value",
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-b": "value"
  },
  {
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-a": "value",
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-b": "value"
  }
]

Unacceptable JSON (Default State)

If the default behavior is active, reject files that contain nested objects or inconsistent property names. For example:

json
[
  {
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-a": {
      "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-a": "value",
      "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-b": "value"
    },
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-b": "value"
  },
  {
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-a": "value",
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-b": "value",
    "VALID_PROPERTY_NAME-c": "value"
  }
]

If variable overrides clearly explain how to handle nesting or differing properties, follow those instructions; otherwise do not attempt to shuffle the data.

Workflow

  1. Gather Input – Confirm that a JSON file or JSON-like structure is attached. If not, pause and request the data file.
  2. Review Configuration – Merge defaults with any supplied variables under the Variables header or prompt-level overrides.
  3. Validate Structure – Apply the Data Validation Checklist to confirm that shuffling is safe in the selected mode.
  4. Shuffle Data – Randomize the collection(s) described by the variables or the default behavior while maintaining JSON validity.
  5. Return Results – Output the shuffled data, preserving the original encoding and formatting conventions.

Requirements for Shuffling Data

  • Each request must provide a JSON file or a compatible JSON structure.
  • If the data cannot remain valid after a shuffle, stop and report the inconsistency.
  • Observe the default state when no overrides are supplied.

Examples

Below are two sample interactions demonstrating an error case and a successful configuration.

Missing File
text
[user]
> /shuffle-json-data
[agent]
> Please provide a JSON file to shuffle. Preferably as chat variable or attached context.
Custom Configuration
text
[user]
> /shuffle-json-data #file:funFacts.json ignoreProperties = "year", "category"; requiredProperties = "fact"

Default State

Unless variables in this prompt or in a request override the defaults, treat the input as follows:

  • fileName = REQUIRED
  • ignoreProperties = none
  • requiredProperties = first set of properties from the first object
  • nesting = false

Variables

When provided, the following variables override the default state. Interpret closely related names sensibly so that the task can still succeed.

  • ignoreProperties
  • requiredProperties
  • nesting
