What problem does it solve?

Default Django integer or UUID primary keys are difficult to debug in logs, risk exposing ordering or volume information when used in public URLs, and require extra type handling when passing IDs between the ORM, services, APIs, and DTOs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Debuggable Prefixed IDs: 3-4 character prefixes immediately identify entity types in logs and traces, eliminating the need for cross-referencing database columns.
  • Time-Sortable & Exposure-Safe: ULIDs sort chronologically by default, and prefixed values leak no sensitive metadata when shared publicly.
  • Consistent Type Across Layers: All IDs are strings end-to-end, eliminating UUID/string coercion at service, API, and DTO boundaries.
  • Use Case: When building a Django e-commerce platform, use this skill to configure prefixed ULIDs for Product, Order, and Item models to speed up debugging and simplify cross-layer type handling.

Quick Start

Use the dj-prefixed-ulids skill to configure prefixed ULID primary keys for all new Django models in your project, including the shared ID generator and model field setup.
