Django Architecture & DRF Patterns
Implements production-grade Django architectures, optimized ORM queries, and scalable REST API patterns using Django REST Framework.
The django-patterns skill provides Claude with expert-level guidance for building robust, maintainable, and scalable Python web applications. It enforces best practices for Django project organization using the split-settings pattern, custom user models, and advanced ORM techniques like specialized QuerySets to prevent N+1 performance issues. Additionally, it offers deep integration with Django REST Framework (DRF), covering complex serialization, viewset actions, and granular permission logic, making it an essential tool for developers moving from local prototypes to production-ready systems.
