What it does

Django Deployment Test Loop is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Make Django deployment changes test-driven across Docker, production settings, Gunicorn, WhiteNoise/static files, environment variables, Ansible/server setup, staging smoke tests, and release checks. Use when containerizing Django, preparing production config, debugging staging, automating deploys, or deciding what deployment behavior functional tests should verify.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `evals/evals.json` and `references/deployment-patterns.md`). Compatibility notes: Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Backend development, Deployment and QA and bug reports. It works with Django, Docker and Ansible. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Containerizing Django
  • Preparing production config
  • Debugging staging
  • Automating deploys

Example prompts

  • “/django-deployment-test-loop”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Name the deployment risk.
  2. Choose the smallest production-like check.
  3. Make configuration explicit.
  4. Verify the deployed surface.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

  • Compatibility

    Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Django Deployment Test Loop loads about 851 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 371 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~851
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Django Deployment Test Loop

Use this skill when deployment work should be proven by running the app in an environment closer to production. The goal is not to test Docker or Ansible for their own sake; it is to catch integration failures that ordinary dev-server tests miss.

Source Traceability

Primary source: Harry Percival, Test-Driven Development with Python, 3rd ed. Guidance is transformed and paraphrased from chapters 9-12, 18, 23, and Appendix A, especially Docker checks, production settings, static files, environment variables, Ansible deployment, staging functional tests, and server debugging.

Workflow

  1. Name the deployment risk.

    • Static files, production settings, database path, permissions, secrets, migrations, logging, email, hostnames, or container networking.
  2. Choose the smallest production-like check.

    • Docker build/run smoke test.
    • Functional test against the container.
    • Staging functional test after deploy.
    • Server log or management-command check when browser tests are not the right proof.
  3. Make configuration explicit.

    • Use environment variables for production differences.
    • Keep secrets out of images and source.
    • Fail fast for missing required settings.
  4. Verify the deployed surface.

    • Run migrations in the deployed environment.
    • Check static collection/serving when DEBUG=False.
    • Check host allow-list and database write location.
    • Inspect logs for errors rather than relying only on HTTP status.

Read deployment-patterns.md for container, staging, and debugging patterns.

Decision Rules

  • If a failure only appears with DEBUG=False, reproduce with production-like settings locally first.
  • If the problem involves filesystem permissions or mounted volumes, verify inside the running container.
  • If the problem involves server config, run a staging smoke test before production.
  • If a test needs real server data setup, use a safe management command or explicit fixture path, never ad hoc production mutations.
  • If the deployment step is manual twice, consider codifying it in Ansible or the existing deployment tool.

Guardrails

  • Do not bake secrets or mutable database files into container images.
  • Do not rely on local SQLite behavior as proof of deployed persistence.
  • Do not run test setup commands against production unless the command is designed and guarded for that environment.
  • Do not treat a successful image build as proof the app works.

Verification

Before finishing, record:

  • Risk being tested.
  • Local Docker or staging command used.
  • Migration/static/env/log evidence.
  • Browser or HTTP smoke result.
  • Rollback or cleanup note when deployment state changed.
