Execution Model
[!IMPORTANT]
Do not execute this skill directly in the main thread. Delegate the data
generation task to its own sub-agent and pass this skill path to that
sub-agent.
Keep demo-data generation separate from deployment or pipeline tasks. Store the
created dataset summary in session artifacts instead of replaying bulk logs.
Generate Demo Data
Use this skill to populate a running Experiment Catalog instance with realistic
sample projects, experiments, permutations, results, metric definitions, and
tags. Open references/full-guide.md for the long-form walkthrough.
This skill uses the catalog API and does not perform Azure ARM control-plane
provisioning. Do not apply the ISE asset telemetry ID to demo-data API calls.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
requests- a reachable catalog API, usually
http://localhost:6010
Fast Path
Run with defaults:
python scripts/generate_demo_data.py
Override the target:
python scripts/generate_demo_data.py --base-url http://localhost:8080
Key Parameters
--base-url: catalog API base URL--results: results per permutation, default 300
What The Script Creates
- two demo projects
- multiple experiments per project
- multiple permutations per experiment
- metric definitions
- tags on refs
- randomized but realistic result rows
Validation Checklist
Verify all of the following before handoff:
- the target catalog is reachable
- projects and experiments exist after the run
- results were written at the expected scale
- any generated artifact or summary was saved for reuse
