# Person Sampling Reference

## Sampler types

Prefer `"person"` when the locale is downloaded — it provides census-grounded demographics and optional personality traits. Fall back to `"person_from_faker"` when the locale isn't available.


| `sampler_type`        | Params class                   | When to use                                                                                         |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `"person"`            | `PersonSamplerParams`          | **Preferred.** Locale downloaded to `~/.data-designer/managed-assets/datasets/` by default.         |
| `"person_from_faker"` | `PersonFromFakerSamplerParams` | Fallback when locale not downloaded. Basic names/addresses via Faker, not demographically accurate. |


## Usage

The sampled person column is a nested dict. You can keep it as-is in the final dataset, or set `drop=True` to remove it and extract only the fields you need via `ExpressionColumnConfig`:

```python
# Keep the full person dict in the output
config_builder.add_column(dd.SamplerColumnConfig(
    name="person", sampler_type="person",
    params=dd.PersonSamplerParams(locale="en_US"),
))

# Or drop it and extract specific fields
config_builder.add_column(dd.SamplerColumnConfig(
    name="person", sampler_type="person",
    params=dd.PersonSamplerParams(locale="en_US"), drop=True,
))
config_builder.add_column(dd.ExpressionColumnConfig(
    name="full_name",
    expr="{{ person.first_name }} {{ person.last_name }}", dtype="str",
))
```

Set `with_synthetic_personas=True` when the dataset benefits from personality traits, interests, cultural background, or detailed persona descriptions (e.g., for realistic user simulation or persona-driven prompting). This option is only available with `"person"` — `"person_from_faker"` does not support it.

## Person Object Schema

Fields vary by locale. Always run the following script to get the exact schema for the locale you are using (script path is relative to this skill's directory):

```bash
python scripts/get_person_object_schema.py <locale>
```

This prints the PII fields (always included) and synthetic persona fields (only included when `with_synthetic_personas=True`) available for that locale.

# Preview Review Guide

## Mindset

Quality is statistical, not per-record. Fix systemic issues that affect many records; don't chase cosmetic flaws in individual ones. But don't stop early — clear patterns of broken data or ignored instructions are worth fixing.

## Reading Sample Records

Load `dataset.parquet` from the preview results directory (printed as `Results path:` by the preview command, or the most recent `artifacts/preview_results_*/` directory). Use pandas to load the parquet file and print the records in a compact, reviewable format.

## What to Look For

The specifics depend on the dataset and its intended use. The categories below are common starting points — adapt based on what matters for this dataset.

### Diversity
- **Mode collapse**: are records clustering around the same patterns, topics, or phrasings?
- **Sampler effectiveness**: are samplers being used effectively to steer diversity in the dataset?
- **Structural monotony**: do LLM-generated columns follow the same template across records?

### Data Quality
- **Instruction compliance**: does generated content follow prompt constraints (step counts, format requirements, allowed values)?
- **Internal consistency**: does data within a record agree with itself?
- **Encoding integrity**: no garbled encoding, mojibake, or broken unicode.
- **Plausibility**: do examples look like they could come from the real domain, or are they obviously synthetic?
- **Judge calibration** (if applicable): are scores consistent across similar-quality records? Does the judge catch visible problems?

### Design Choices
Are the right Data Designer features being used? For example:
- A text column that consistently produces structured data or code might be better as a specialized column type.
- Values drawn from a fixed set or known distribution could use a sampler instead of an LLM column.

# Seed Datasets Reference

Seed datasets bootstrap synthetic data generation from existing data. Every column from the seed becomes a Jinja2 variable you can reference in prompts and expressions — the seed provides realism and domain specificity, and Data Designer adds volume and variation on top.

## Before configuring a seed source

1. **Read the source code.** Read `seed_source.py` under the config root directory printed by `data-designer agent context`. This file contains all seed source classes and their parameters. Do not guess types or parameters.

2. **Verify the dataset is readable and fetch column names.** Before wiring the seed into the config, confirm the file can be read and extract its column names. This catches bad paths and corrupt files, and gives you the exact column names available for downstream prompts.

## Notes

- The most common seed source is `LocalFileSeedSource` (local file on disk). Supported formats: `.parquet`, `.csv`, `.json`, `.jsonl`.
- Seed columns are automatically registered as `SeedDatasetColumnConfig` entries — you do **not** add them manually. Just reference them by name in downstream prompts and expressions.

# Autopilot Workflow

In this mode, make reasonable design decisions autonomously based on the dataset description. Do not ask clarifying questions — infer sensible defaults and move straight through to a working preview.

1. **Resolve CLI command** — Run `command -v data-designer 2>/dev/null || (test -x .venv/bin/data-designer && realpath .venv/bin/data-designer) || echo CLI_NOT_FOUND`.
  - If the output is a path, use it as the `data-designer` executable for all commands in this workflow.
  - If the output is `CLI_NOT_FOUND`, STOP and follow the Troubleshooting section in SKILL.md. Do not continue to the next step.
2. **Learn** — Run `data-designer agent context`.
  - If no model aliases are configured, stop and tell the user to run `data-designer config` to set them up before proceeding.
  - Inspect schemas for every column, sampler type, validator, and processor you plan to use.
  - Never guess types or parameters — read the relevant config files first.
  - Always read `base.py` for inherited fields shared by all config objects.
3. **Infer** — Based on the dataset description, make reasonable decisions for:
  - Axes of diversity and what should be well represented.
  - Which variables to randomize.
  - The schema of the final dataset.
  - The structure of any structured output columns.
  - Briefly state the key decisions you made so the user can course-correct if needed.
4. **Plan** — Determine columns, samplers, processors, validators, and other dataset features needed.
5. **Build** — Write the Python script with `load_config_builder()` (see Output Template in SKILL.md).
6. **Validate** — Run `data-designer validate <path>`. Address any warnings or errors and re-validate until it passes.
7. **Preview** — Run `data-designer preview <path> --save-results` to generate sample records as HTML files.
  - Note the sample records directory printed by the `data-designer preview` command
  - Give the user a clickable link: `file://<sample-records-dir>/sample_records_browser.html`
8. **Create** — If the user specified a record count:
  - Run `data-designer create <path> --num-records <N> --dataset-name <name>`.
  - Generation speed depends heavily on the dataset configuration and the user's inference setup. For larger datasets, warn the user and ask for confirmation before running.
  - If no record count was specified, skip this step.
9. **Present** — Summarize what was built: columns, samplers used, key design choices. If the create command was run, share the results. Ask the user if they want any changes. If so, edit the script, re-validate, re-preview, and iterate.

# Interactive Workflow

This is an interactive, iterative design process. Do not disengage from the loop unless the user says they are satisfied.

1. **Resolve CLI command** — Run `command -v data-designer 2>/dev/null || (test -x .venv/bin/data-designer && realpath .venv/bin/data-designer) || echo CLI_NOT_FOUND`.
  - If the output is a path, use it as the `data-designer` executable for all commands in this workflow.
  - If the output is `CLI_NOT_FOUND`, STOP and follow the Troubleshooting section in SKILL.md. Do not continue to the next step.
2. **Learn** — Run `data-designer agent context`.
  - If no model aliases are configured, stop and tell the user to run `data-designer config` to set them up before proceeding.
  - Inspect schemas for every column, sampler type, validator, and processor you plan to use.
  - Never guess types or parameters — read the relevant config files first.
  - Always read `base.py` for inherited fields shared by all config objects.
3. **Clarify** — Ask the user clarifying questions to narrow down precisely what they want.
  - Optimize for a great user experience: prefer a structured question tool over plain text if one is available, batch related questions together, keep the set short, provide concrete options/examples/defaults where possible, and use structured inputs (single-select, multi-select, free text, etc.) when they make answering easier.
  - If multiple model aliases are available, ask which one(s) to use (or default to an alias with the appropriate `generation_type` for each column).
  - Common things to make precise:
    - What the "axes of diversity" are — what should be well represented and diverse in the resulting dataset.
    - The kind and nature of any input data.
    - What variables should be randomized.
    - The schema of the final dataset.
    - The structure of any required structured output columns.
    - What facets of the output dataset are important to capture.
4. **Plan** — Determine columns, samplers, processors, validators, and other dataset features needed. Present the plan to the user and ask if they want any changes before generating a preview.
5. **Build** — Write the Python script with `load_config_builder()` (see Output Template in SKILL.md).
6. **Validate** — Run `data-designer validate <path>`. Address any warnings or errors and re-validate until it passes.
7. **Preview** — Run `data-designer preview <path> --save-results` to generate sample records as HTML files.
  - Note the sample records directory printed by the `data-designer preview` command
  - Give the user a clickable link: `file://<sample-records-dir>/sample_records_browser.html`
8. **Iterate**
   - Ask the user for feedback.
   - Offer to review the records yourself and suggest improvements. If the user accepts, read `references/preview-review.md` for guidance.
   - Apply changes, re-validate, and re-preview. Repeat until the user is satisfied.
9. **Finalize** — Once the user is happy, tell them they can run the following command to create the dataset:
  - `data-designer create <path> --num-records <N> --dataset-name <name>`.
  - Caution the user that generation speed depends heavily on the dataset configuration and their inference setup.
  - Do not run this command yourself — the user should control when it runs.
