django-expert

Use when building Django web applications or REST APIs with Django REST Framework. Invoke when working with settings.py, models.py, manage.py, or any Django project file. Creates Django models with proper indexes, optimizes ORM queries using select_related/prefetch_related, builds DRF serializers and viewsets, and configures JWT authentication. Trigger terms: Django, DRF, Django REST Framework, Django ORM, Django model, serializer, viewset, Python web.

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a solid, well-structured Django skill with excellent actionability through its complete, executable example covering the full stack (model → serializer → viewset → test). The workflow is clearly sequenced with validation checkpoints. Main weaknesses are minor verbosity in framing/constraints and the absence of the referenced bundle files that the progressive disclosure table depends on.

Suggestions

Remove the introductory tagline ('Senior Django specialist...') and the 'Knowledge Reference' keyword list — these consume tokens without adding actionable guidance.

Provide the referenced bundle files (references/models-orm.md, etc.) or remove the reference table to avoid pointing to nonexistent resources.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Generally efficient but includes some unnecessary framing ('Senior Django specialist with deep expertise...') and the 'Knowledge Reference' line at the bottom is a loose keyword dump. The constraints section has some items Claude already knows (e.g., 'Use Django's built-in security features'). However, the code examples are well-targeted and not padded.	2 / 3
Actionability	The minimal working example is fully executable, covering models, serializers, viewsets, and tests with copy-paste ready code. Concrete commands (makemigrations, migrate) are specified, and the code demonstrates the exact patterns (select_related, db_index, validation, permissions) that the constraints require.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	The core workflow has a clear 6-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints: verifying schema after migrations before proceeding, and confirming endpoint status codes with APITestCase/curl before adding auth. The feedback loop is implicit but the validation gates are clearly stated.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	The reference table pointing to five topic-specific files (references/models-orm.md, etc.) is well-structured with clear 'Load When' triggers. However, no bundle files were provided, meaning all referenced files are missing — the progressive disclosure structure is designed well but cannot be verified or used. The inline content is appropriately scoped as an overview.	2 / 3

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is an excellent skill description that clearly communicates what the skill does, when to use it, and includes comprehensive trigger terms. It uses proper third-person voice throughout, lists concrete actions with technical specificity, and provides both broad triggers ('Django web applications') and narrow ones ('select_related/prefetch_related'). The explicit trigger terms section at the end further strengthens discoverability.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple specific concrete actions: creating Django models with proper indexes, optimizing ORM queries using select_related/prefetch_related, building DRF serializers and viewsets, and configuring JWT authentication.	3 / 3
Completeness	Clearly answers both 'what' (creates models, optimizes queries, builds serializers/viewsets, configures JWT auth) and 'when' (building Django web apps or REST APIs, working with Django project files), with explicit 'Use when' and 'Invoke when' clauses plus listed trigger terms.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: Django, DRF, Django REST Framework, Django ORM, Django model, serializer, viewset, Python web, plus file-specific triggers like settings.py, models.py, manage.py.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Highly distinctive with a clear niche around Django and DRF specifically. The mention of Django-specific files (settings.py, models.py, manage.py) and Django-specific concepts (ORM, serializers, viewsets) makes it very unlikely to conflict with generic Python or other web framework skills.	3 / 3
