  • Frontend rendering and performance tests
  • SKILL.md covers If anything fails, run doctor…, Need → command, Contract and Extending

  • Never use ad hoc scripts

What it does

Seed Test Data is an agent skill from langfuse/langfuse. Seed reproducible local Langfuse data in ClickHouse and Postgres. Use for complex traces, long sessions, v3/v4 events, bulk list data, or frontend rendering and performance tests; never use ad hoc scripts or raw inserts.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test data and fixtures, LLM observability and Data warehousing. It works with Langfuse, ClickHouse and PostgreSQL. The repository describes itself as: 🪢 Open source agent evals & observability: Trace, evaluate, and improve LLM applications with one open platform.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend rendering and performance tests
  • Never use ad hoc scripts

Example prompts

  • “/seed-test-data”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8b58764. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Seed Test Data loads about 5.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,427 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.7k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,427 words (~5,742 tokens).

“One-shot deterministic test data for local Langfuse. The CLI handles env loading, preflight checks, ClickHouse/Postgres writes, readback verification, and prints UI deep links plus a machine-readable JSON summary (last stdout line).”
