Django Expert
Built by Vinta Software, this is a comprehensive Django skill that covers the full stack of backend development, from ORM optimization and preventing N+1 queries to Django REST Framework patterns and production deployment. It handles model design, class-based and function-based views, serializers, authentication, and security best practices like CSRF/XSS prevention. The skill also includes testing strategies and performance profiling, which is rare to see packaged together. Use it when you're building or debugging Django apps and need guidance that follows official Django conventions. It's opinionated toward modern patterns but stays grounded in the framework's documented best practices rather than reinventing the wheel.
