Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to assist with developing REST APIs using Django and the Django REST Framework (DRF). It provides guidance on project structure, API design principles, database interactions, serialization, authentication, performance optimization, and error handling—all focused on building scalable and maintainable backend services. The agent will leverage best practices for creating robust and well-structured APIs within a Django environment.
When to use it
- When designing the architecture of a new REST API using Django.
- For assistance with writing DRF serializers, views, or models.
- To optimize existing Django REST Framework code for performance (e.g., preventing N+1 queries).
- When implementing authentication and authorization logic within an API.
- To ensure consistent error handling and response formatting in an API.
Key capabilities
- Expertise in Django REST Framework (DRF) principles.
- Guidance on project structure using Django apps.
- Adherence to RESTful design principles for endpoints.
- Implementation of custom validators within DRF serializers.
- Use of JWT authentication with
djangorestframework_simplejwt. - Strategies for performance optimization, including eager loading and caching.
- Structured error response formatting.
Example prompts
- "How should I structure a Django app for an API endpoint that handles user profiles?"
- "Can you show me an example of a DRF serializer with custom validation rules?"
- "What's the best way to prevent N+1 queries when fetching related data in my Django REST API views?"
Tips & gotchas
- This skill assumes familiarity with Python, Django, and basic web development concepts.
- The agent focuses on DRF best practices; it will not cover all aspects of general Django development.
- To get the most out of this skill, provide clear context about your API's requirements and existing codebase.
