SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps prevent non-idiomatic Django implementations by steering AI output toward proven Django structure, ORM usage, and maintainable patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fat models, thin views to centralize business logic in models/managers and keep HTTP layers clean.
  • Idiomatic ORM performance using select_related/prefetch_related and safe query composition with F() and Q().
  • Reliable CRUD + API boundaries via class-based views and DRF serializers that define clear, stable interfaces.
  • Use cases: building or refactoring Django apps, implementing CRUD screens and DRF endpoints, and ensuring migrations and tests follow maintainable conventions.

Quick Start

Apply the Django Idioms and Patterns skill to refactor my Django project so models contain business logic, views follow the recommended structure, and ORM queries avoid N+1 patterns.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix N+1 query problems in Django ORM?▼

Fix Django ORM N+1 problems by applying select_related for single-valued relationships and prefetch_related for many-valued relationships to load related data efficiently in a single query.

What is the best way to structure Django business logic to keep views clean?▼

Structure Django business logic using fat models and thin views, centralizing logic in models and custom managers to keep HTTP layers clean and maintainable across web app features.

How do I write safe Django migrations for production databases?▼

Write safe Django migrations by following reliable conventions that prevent locking or data loss, ensuring schema changes and data backfills are applied safely across typical web app features.

Can I use pytest-django with Factory Boy for Django testing?▼

Yes, you can use pytest-django with Factory Boy for Django testing to generate test data and write maintainable test suites that follow standard conventions for models and API endpoints.

How do I compose complex queries in Django using F and Q objects?▼

Compose complex Django queries using Q objects for OR/AND conditional logic and F objects to reference model field values directly within database operations without fetching Python objects.

Does this approach support building CRUD endpoints with DRF serializers and class-based views?▼

Yes, this approach supports building CRUD endpoints using Django REST Framework serializers and class-based views to define clear, stable API boundaries for reliable interface contracts.
