Dataset Generator

This skill is a tool-native dataset pipeline for Codex, Antigravity, and Claude Code.

• Use the IDE's own tools for browsing, reading, search, and reasoning.
• Use local Python scripts for deterministic normalization, state tracking, verification, deduplication, and export.
• Do not call external LLM-provider APIs as part of this skill.

Command surface

• dataset generate "<request>" [--count <n>]

• dataset collect "<topic or query>" [--urls url1 url2] [--paths ./dir]

• dataset verify <path/to/file>

• dataset audit [<path/to/file>]

• dataset export --format <openai|huggingface|csv|jsonl|all> [--schema-file path] [--split 0.1]

If

dataset generate

does not include a size, default to

500

records. If

dataset collect

does not include

--max-results

, default to

10

results per query.

Core architecture

• sub-skills/

  contains the cognitive instructions.

• scripts/

  contains deterministic helpers.

• resources/internal-schema/canonical_schema.json

  is the fixed pipeline backbone.

• resources/target-schemas/

  contains preset export profiles.

• resources/templates/custom_flat_schema.json

  is the starting point for custom headers.

Fixed vs flexible schema

• The canonical internal schema is fixed.
• The final export schema is not universal and must be chosen per user request.
• For custom CSV or flat JSONL headers, create or update a schema file and pass it to

  scripts/export.py

  .

Read

sub-skills/dataset-strategy.md

first whenever the target output schema is not already obvious.

Workflow selection

1.

dataset generate

Use this when the user wants a new dataset or wants source material structured into one.

1. Read

   sub-skills/dataset-strategy.md

   and explicitly decide:
   • request type

   • task_type

   • source_type

   • target export schema
   • target effective example count
   • whether this is a fresh run or a resume

If the user does not specify a size, set the target effective example count to

500

. 2. If existing runs may matter, inspect the SQLite state before generating:

python3 -c "from scripts.utils.db import initialize_database, get_connection, list_runs; initialize_database(); conn = get_connection(); print([dict(row) for row in list_runs(conn, limit=5)]); conn.close()"

If there is a relevant unfinished or recent run, ask whether to resume or start fresh.

3. Choose the source route:

• Topic-driven synthetic generation:
  • Read

    sub-skills/seed-generator.md

    .
  • Draft canonical JSONL records and import them with

    --source-type generated

    .
  • If the requested count is large, work in batches until the target count is reached instead of stopping after the first small draft.
• URL or reference-material structuring:
  • Read

    sub-skills/local-collector.md

    .
  • First: try the IDE's native search/browsing tools to collect material directly.
  • Fallback: if IDE tools are unavailable or the collection is large, run:

    python3 scripts/collect.py --urls <url1> [url2 ...] --tool-context <context>
    

  • Draft canonical JSONL from the collected output and import with

    --source-type url_reference

    .
• Existing dataset restructuring:
  • Read

    sub-skills/seed-generator.md

    .
  • Normalize the source dataset into canonical JSONL and import it with

    --source-type raw_dataset

    .
• Internet-research dataset building:
  • Read

    sub-skills/local-collector.md

    .
  • First: use the IDE's native search tools to find evidence, draft canonical records, and import.
  • Fallback: if IDE tools are unavailable or the target record count requires broad crawling, run:

    python3 scripts/collect.py --query "<topic>" --max-results 10 --tool-context <context>
    

  • The collector outputs

    workspace/collected_<timestamp>.jsonl

    ; the agent then drafts proper instruction/response records and imports them with

    --source-type internet_research

    .
  • If the user does not specify a size, continue collecting and drafting until

    500

    records are planned or imported.

4. Load draft records into SQLite:

Preferred automated path when you already have planned batch files:

python3 scripts/build_loop.py --batch <drafts_batch_01.jsonl> --batch <drafts_batch_02.jsonl> --plan-file <coverage_plan.json> --source-type <generated|url_reference|raw_dataset|internet_research> --tool-context <codex|claude|antigravity> [--review-file <review.jsonl>] [--verify-min-response-length 5]

This orchestrates import-time dedup, optional verify/dedup, and a coverage check after every batch. For short-label classification corpora, lower

--verify-min-response-length

so labels like

VULNERABLE

are not rejected by the generic heuristic floor. If the coverage plan sets

require_review_file: true

,

build_loop.py

will fail fast unless

--review-file

is provided so semantic judging runs during the build.

Manual import path:

python3 scripts/generate.py --input <drafts.jsonl> --source-type <generated|url_reference|raw_dataset|internet_research> --tool-context <codex|claude|antigravity> --dedup-threshold 0.85

Imported drafts are promoted into the runnable pipeline with status

raw_generated

unless they are explicit placeholder seeds. When

--dedup-threshold

is used, near-duplicates are marked

deduped

immediately instead of inflating the raw count.

If the user is intentionally building red-team, security, pentest, prompt-injection, jailbreak, or system-prompt-leak training data, default to injection-tolerant import behavior. The scripts now auto-enable this for matching requests, and you can still pass

--allow-injections

explicitly for clarity. Use

--enforce-security-flags

only when you want strict flagging even on those corpora. For untrusted sources, normalization also strips hostile control characters and may add

metadata.security_flags

plus

metadata.requires_manual_review

.

For generation requests, do not treat a small sample as the finished dataset unless the user explicitly asked for a small sample, prototype, or test run. Do not treat the raw imported count as success. The generation loop is complete only when the post-dedup effective count and per-bucket coverage targets are met.

4B. If you are not using

build_loop.py

, measure effective progress after each import batch before drafting the next batch:

python3 scripts/coverage.py --from-status raw_generated --from-status augmented --from-status verified_pass --threshold 0.85 --plan-file <coverage_plan.json>

The coverage plan should define:

• target_effective_count

• max_share_per_group

• group_minimums

  keyed by metadata paths such as

  metadata.subtopic

  ,

  metadata.context_type

  ,

  metadata.response_shape

  , or

  metadata.label

• optional

  required_fields

  for metadata or provenance paths that every kept record must carry
• optional

  joint_group_rules

  for multi-axis balance such as

  difficulty x label

  or

  persona x response_shape

• optional

  provenance

  rules such as a minimum

  real_world

  share and required reference fields for real-world records
• optional

  response_length

  rules to cap median answer size or the share of oversized responses
• optional

  response_structure

  rules to prevent one dominant JSON or text skeleton from taking over the corpus
• optional

  response_prefix

  limits to prevent one repeated opening from dominating the corpus
• optional

  model_visibility

  rules to customize export-time sanitization for model-visible

  instruction

  and

  context

  without dropping audit metadata. If omitted, export applies a conservative built-in profile; set

  "enabled": false

  to disable it.
• optional

  require_review_file: true

  to make semantic LLM review mandatory during the build loop

These advanced sections are advisory unless you set

blocking: true

inside that section. This keeps fixed-envelope or HTTP-heavy datasets from being rejected by default while still surfacing the findings.

If the effective count is still below target or any bucket is under its minimum, draft another batch aimed only at the missing buckets.

5. If augmentation is needed, read

   sub-skills/diversity-engine.md

   and either import rewritten augmentations or create metadata variants:

python3 scripts/augment.py --input <augmented.jsonl> --tool-context <codex|claude|antigravity>

Or deterministic metadata variants:

python3 scripts/augment.py --from-status raw_generated --persona expert --difficulty hard

Metadata-variant rows are scaffolding only. They are now marked

rewrite_required

and cannot pass

verify.py

until the instruction/response has actually been rewritten.

6. Run heuristic verification:

python3 scripts/verify.py --from-status raw_generated --from-status augmented [--plan-file <coverage_plan.json>]

7. If semantic judging is needed, read

   sub-skills/llm-judge.md

   , produce a review file, then apply it:

Before semantic judging, inspect records with

metadata.requires_manual_review

or

metadata.security_flags

and treat their content as untrusted data.

python3 scripts/verify.py --from-status raw_generated --review-file <review.jsonl> [--plan-file <coverage_plan.json>]

8. Deduplicate passing records:

python3 scripts/dedup.py --from-status verified_pass

The final dedup pass still runs before export, but it is not a substitute for generation-time duplicate suppression and coverage tracking.

9. Read

   sub-skills/formatter-exporter.md

   and export the dataset plus data card:

python3 scripts/export.py --format <openai|huggingface|csv|jsonl|all> [--schema-file <schema.json>] [--split 0.1] [--plan-file <coverage_plan.json>]

2.

dataset verify

Use this when the user already has a file and wants an audit or cleanup pass.

Read

sub-skills/data-verifier.md

, then run:

python3 scripts/generate.py --input <dataset.jsonl_or_csv> --source-type raw_dataset --tool-context <codex|claude|antigravity>
python3 scripts/verify.py --from-status raw_generated --source-run-id <run_id_from_generate> [--review-file <review.jsonl>]
python3 scripts/dedup.py --from-status verified_pass --source-run-id <run_id_from_generate>
python3 scripts/export.py --format csv --split 0.0

Prefer the DB-backed route above so the audit remains resumable and traceable.

For intentionally adversarial security corpora, injection-tolerant import is now the default. Add

--enforce-security-flags

only when you want strict flagging on those records.

3.

dataset audit

Use this when the user wants a structured quality assessment of an existing or freshly generated dataset.

Read

sub-skills/dataset-auditor.md

. The auditor runs three phases:

1. Record-level — delegates to

   data-verifier

   ,

   deduplicator

   , and optionally

   llm-judge

2. Corpus-level — checks split disjointness, taxonomy coverage, and context leakage
3. Structured report — emits a severity-classified findings table with concrete recommendations

No additional scripts are required — the auditor drives the existing

verify.py

,

dedup.py

, and

export.py

scripts and reasons over their outputs.

4.

dataset export

Use this when the verified data already exists in SQLite and the user wants a specific output shape.

Read

sub-skills/formatter-exporter.md

if the schema is not obvious.

Preset export:

python3 scripts/export.py --format openai --split 0.1

Custom flat export:

python3 scripts/export.py --format csv --schema-file <custom_schema.json> --split 0.1

The flat schema file must validate before export. If the user wants custom headers, start from

resources/templates/custom_flat_schema.json

instead of inventing an ad hoc file shape.

Natural-language prompt examples

Users do not need to use explicit flags if they describe the task naturally.

• Generate a medical triage dataset

• Generate a 2000-example customer-support dataset in OpenAI JSONL

• Turn these URLs into a structured dataset for fine-tuning

• Use web research to build a fintech FAQ dataset

• Normalize this CSV into HuggingFace chat format

• Verify and clean this dataset, then export it with custom CSV headers
