SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Django web apps and REST APIs often require repetitive boilerplate: models, serializers, viewsets, and authentication setup. This skill automates end-to-end scaffolding and optimization for Django projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Model scaffolding with proper indexes: create models with indexes and relationships ready for migrations.
  • DRF serializers and viewsets: generate serializers and viewsets aligned with best practices and authentication.
  • Authentication configuration: setup JWT or session-based authentication and permissions.
  • Performance optimization tips: recommends select_related/prefetch_related patterns and admin customization.
  • Use Case: you’re building a Django API with DRF and need a production-ready skeleton including migrations, tests, and JWT.

Quick Start

Generate a production-ready Django + DRF skeleton with models, serializers, and viewsets ready for migrations.
