Does it report every potential performance issue?

No, it follows a strict validation protocol to only report high-impact issues it can prove. Low-impact patterns or micro-optimizations are ignored to focus on critical and high-priority fixes.

How does this skill identify N+1 queries?

The skill traces the data flow from views and serializers into templates or loops, checking if related fields are accessed without the necessary select_related or prefetch_related optimizations.

Does it suggest adding indexes automatically?

It identifies fields used in WHERE or ORDER BY clauses on large tables that lack a db_index or Meta index, providing a validated recommendation for high-impact tables.

Is it compatible with Django Rest Framework (DRF)?

Yes, it specifically checks for DRF-specific performance traps, such as SerializerMethodField queries and unoptimized querysets in ViewSets.

What does the skill consider a 'Critical' issue?

Issues like N+1 queries and unbounded querysets are categorized as CRITICAL because they scale poorly with data volume and frequently lead to timeouts or OOM (Out Of Memory) crashes.

Analyzes and validates Django code to identify high-impact performance bottlenecks like N+1 queries, unbounded querysets, and missing database indexes.

The django-perf-review skill serves as an expert performance auditor for Django applications, focusing on identifying issues that cause real-world production failures. It systematically investigates codebases to find and validate critical problems such as N+1 query patterns in views and serializers, memory-heavy unbounded querysets, and inefficient write loops. Unlike standard linting, this skill emphasizes a research-first approach, requiring evidence and data-flow tracing to ensure that every reported finding is actionable and impactful for scaling applications.
