What it does

Django Expert is an agent skill from vintasoftware/django-ai-plugins. Expert Django backend development guidance. Use when creating Django models, views, serializers, or APIs; debugging ORM queries or migrations; optimizing database performance; implementing authentication; writing tests; or working with Django REST Framework. Follows Django best practices and modern patterns.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `references/README.md`, `references/drf-guidelines.md` and `references/examples.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. It works with Django. The repository describes itself as: A collection of AI Skills specialized in Django Backend development.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating Django models
  • Debugging ORM queries
  • Optimizing database performance
  • Implementing authentication

Example prompts

  • “/django-expert”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in SECRET_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Analyze the Request and Gather Context
  2. Load Relevant Reference Documentation
  3. Implement Following Django Best Practices
  4. Validate and Test

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.

    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 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

Django Expert loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~39k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 918 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~39k

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 918 words (~2,243 tokens).

“This skill provides expert guidance for Django backend development with comprehensive coverage of models, views, Django REST Framework, forms, authentication, testing, and performance optimization. It follows official Django best practices and modern Python conventions to help you build robust, maintainable…”
