Acerca de

This skill streamlines the creation of production-aligned Django environments by automating the setup of local HTTPS development. It handles everything from Python version detection and virtual environment creation to dependency management and security configurations for CORS and CSRF. By integrating mkcert for local SSL and providing boilerplate for health endpoints and VS Code launch configurations, it ensures that developers can start building secure web services immediately with best practices already in place.
