Dj Settings

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Backend development

Example prompts

• “/dj-settings”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A credential in SECRET_KEY
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Imports and BASE_DIR (no banner — these are preamble)
2. 2LOGGING
3. 3SECURITY — SECRET_KEY, DEBUG, ALLOWED_HOSTS, CORS, CSRF, cookie settings
4. 4APPLICATION DEFINITION — INSTALLED_APPS, MIDDLEWARE
5. 5URLS AND WSGI — ROOT_URLCONF, WSGI_APPLICATION
6. 6TEMPLATES
7. 7AUTH — AUTH_USER_MODEL, AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS, LOGIN_URL
8. 8DATABASE
9. 9SESSIONS
10. 10CACHING
11. 11INTERNATIONALIZATION — LANGUAGE_CODE, TIME_ZONE, USE_I18N, USE_TZ
12. 12STATIC FILES — STATIC_URL, STATIC_ROOT, DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f17fc2d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Edit

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • docs.djangoproject.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • SECRET_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dj Settings loads about 640 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 233 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~56

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~640

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Organize Django settings.py into clearly sectioned blocks with banner-style headers. Use proactively whenever modifying src/project/settings.py — adding new settings, removing settings, or restructuring sections.
