**SpecMint** is an intelligent synthetic dataset generator that transforms business scenarios into realistic datasets. Instead of manually configuring schemas and record counts, simply describe your business context (e.g., "500-bed hospital", "community bank with 12 branches") and SpecMint automatically calculates realistic record counts, relationships, and generates comprehensive datasets.
## 🎯 Population-Based Intelligence
SpecMint's breakthrough feature is **population-based simulation** - analyze real-world business scenarios and automatically generate realistic datasets:
```bash
# Hospital simulation - automatically calculates patients, claims, prescriptions, etc.
./bin/specmint simulate --population "100-bed regional hospital" --execute --output ./hospital-data
# Banking simulation - generates customers, accounts, transactions, loans
./bin/specmint simulate --population "community bank with 5 branches" --execute --output ./bank-data
# E-commerce simulation - creates users, products, orders, reviews
./bin/specmint simulate --population "e-commerce platform with 50K users" --execute --output ./ecommerce-data
# Retail simulation - generates stores, products, customers, inventory
./bin/specmint simulate --population "retail chain with 10 stores" --execute --output ./retail-data
```
## 🚀 Traditional Schema-Based Generation
```bash
# Generate specific record types with custom counts
./bin/specmint generate -s test/schemas/ecommerce/products.json -o output -c 1000
# Generate healthcare claims with LLM enrichment
./bin/specmint generate -s test/schemas/medical/healthcare-claims-837.json -o claims --count 100 --llm-mode fields
# Generate pharmacy claims
./bin/specmint generate -s test/schemas/medical/rx-claims-ncpdp.json -o rx-data --count 500
# Validate existing dataset
./bin/specmint validate -s schema.json -d dataset.jsonl
# System health check
./bin/specmint doctor
```
