What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides Django/Python code refactoring to improve maintainability, readability, and adherence to modern best practices, reducing technical debt and making code easier to evolve.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Fat view decomposition: Move business logic from views into services or use-cases to improve testability and readability.
• N+1 query mitigation: Introduce optimized ORM patterns (select_related, prefetch_related) and query abstractions to reduce database round-trips.
• Modern Django patterns: Apply Django 5+ concepts like GeneratedField, async views, db_default, and a service-layer architecture.
• Code quality & standards: Enforce DRY, SRP, PEP 8 conventions, and Python 3.12+ type hints.
• Use Case: Refactor a fat Django view that validates input, queries related data, and renders a response into a thin view + services.

Quick Start

Refactor the current Django view to extract business logic into a service layer and replace repeated ORM calls with efficient queries.
