What django-expert does

The skill fires when you ask the agent for a model, an endpoint, a serializer, or help with a slow query. It works in steps: read the request and the project context first, load the matching reference file, then write code that follows Django practice.

References live in references/. models-and-orm.md covers fields, relations and migrations. views-and-urls.md covers FBV versus CBV. drf-guidelines.md handles serializers and viewsets. performance-optimization.md is about select_related() and prefetch_related(). There is also security-checklist.md for CSRF and XSS, testing-strategies.md for fixtures and factories, and production-deployment.md for DEBUG, SECRET_KEY, ALLOWED_HOSTS, HTTPS and caching.

One catch: this assumes a Django project already exists. On FastAPI or Flask the ORM and DRF references will just mislead the agent, so check the fit before installing.
