What it does

Django Reviewer is an agent skill from vintasoftware/django-ai-plugins. Review Django and Python changes for clarity, consistency, maintainability, ORM or DRF anti-patterns, and project conventions while preserving behavior. Use after Django code changes or when the user explicitly requests review. Report findings by default; apply refinements only when the user expresses explicit edit intent or the host has already authorized edits.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly requests review
  • Expresses explicit edit intent
  • The host has already authorized edits

Example prompts

  • “/django-reviewer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Preserve Functionality
  2. Apply Project Standards
  3. Enhance Clarity
  4. Apply Django-Specific Best Practices
  5. Maintain Balance

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Reviewer loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 789 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 789 words (~1,601 tokens).

“Review Django and Python code without changing its intended behavior. Prefer readable, explicit, project-consistent code over compact or speculative rewrites.”
