  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Django Celery Expert is an agent skill from vintasoftware/django-ai-plugins. Expert Django Celery guidance for asynchronous task processing. Use when designing background tasks, configuring Celery workers, handling task retries and errors, optimizing Celery performance, implementing periodic tasks with Celery Beat, or setting up production monitoring for Celery. Do not use for general Django questions unrelated to Celery, non-Celery task systems (Django Q, Huey, RQ), ML/data pipeline orchestration (Airflow, Prefect), or frontend and API-only concerns. Follows Vinta's Django Celery best…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/configuration-guide.md`, `references/django-integration.md` and `references/error-handling.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development, Background jobs and Data pipelines and ETL. It works with Django and Apache Airflow. The repository describes itself as: A collection of AI Skills specialized in Django Backend development.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing background tasks
  • Configuring Celery workers
  • Handling task retries and errors
  • Optimizing Celery performance

Example prompts

  • “/django-celery-expert”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Classify the Request
  2. Read the Reference File(s)
  3. Implement

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b8af268. 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 (its code samples are python).

    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.

Context cost

Django Celery Expert loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~22k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~137
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~22k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 206 words (~1,157 tokens).
