## What it does

The skill helps plan Django 5.x applications, from model relationships and ORM queries to API work with Django REST Framework. It also covers async views, WebSockets through Django Channels, and background jobs with Celery. Describe the task and its constraints to get focused guidance.

Its recommendations favor Django’s built-in features and account for security and database query costs. The skill can assist with pytest-django tests, migrations, caching, and deployment configuration. Detailed examples are pointed to in `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.

The guidance covers Django 5.x and integrations such as DRF, Redis, and PostgreSQL. If your project runs another Django version, check advice about 5.x features against the codebase before applying it.
