What it does
When installed, the agent gets a reference guide of Django conventions to follow while writing or reviewing Django web apps. It suggests how to split settings into base, development and production files, how to design models and custom querysets to avoid slow database queries, and how to build REST APIs with Django REST Framework. The file is a set of written patterns and code examples; it does not run anything by itself.
Great for
- Developers building or maintaining a Django or Django REST Framework project
- Teams wanting consistent project layout and production security settings
- Developers reviewing whether their Django ORM queries are efficient
Skip it if
- Non-programmers who only want a finished website, since this is guidance for writing code, not a ready-made app
- Projects not using Django, where the patterns will not apply
- Anyone copying the production settings blindly: the example uses a hardcoded log path and HSTS settings that must be checked against their own hosting setup
Try asking
- “Set up a new Django project with split settings for development and production”
- “Review my Django models and suggest indexes and constraints”
- “Design a DRF API for a products app with proper permissions and filtering”
- “Show me how to use select_related and prefetch_related to avoid N+1 queries”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Ask the agent to adapt the layout to your existing project rather than restructuring everything at once
- Verify security settings such as SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT and ALLOWED_HOSTS against your deployment before using them
- Pair with the Django test suite so the agent's changes are checked by running tests
