What it does

When this skill is installed, the agent follows a checklist of Django security guidance when you ask for help with authentication, permissions, production settings or reviewing a Django app. It recommends settings such as turning off debug mode, enforcing HTTPS and secure cookies, using strong password validators, using safe database query patterns, and applying role-based or object-level access checks. The skill is a set of written guidelines with code examples; it does not run anything by itself.

Great for

  • Django developers setting up a project for production
  • Developers reviewing an existing Django app for common security mistakes
  • Teams wanting a consistent baseline for authentication and permissions code

Skip it if

  • Security-critical systems that need a professional audit, since this is general guidance and not a complete security review
  • Non-Django frameworks, where the specific settings and classes will not apply
  • Anyone expecting the agent to automatically fix or test their live application

Try asking

  • “Review my Django settings file for production security problems”
  • “Help me set up a custom user model with email login in Django”
  • “Show me how to write a view that only lets owners edit their posts”
  • “Check my raw SQL queries in this Django app for injection risks”

  3. 3

    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

  • Give the agent your actual settings and views so it can check them against the guidance rather than giving generic advice
  • Treat the examples as a starting point and verify them against your Django version, since some setting names and hashers change over time
  • Pair the review with automated tools such as Django's deploy check command for a second opinion
