Does it provide security recommendations?

Absolutely. It checks for unsafe template filters, missing CSRF tokens, and improper handling of user data in JavaScript to prevent XSS and other common vulnerabilities.

Can it help with database performance?

Yes, it specifically identifies N+1 query problems and suggests the appropriate use of select_related and prefetch_related to optimize database hits.

What kind of migration checks does it perform?

It flags 'critical' risks such as adding non-nullable fields without defaults and warns against large table ALTER operations that could cause downtime.

How does this skill detect a Django project?

The skill automatically triggers when it detects indicators such as manage.py in the root, settings.py with INSTALLED_APPS, or django listed in requirements.txt or pyproject.toml.

Security & Testing

Audits Django applications for ORM efficiency, security vulnerabilities, and architectural best practices.

About

The Django Reviewer skill provides automated, expert-level code reviews for Django projects, focusing on critical performance bottlenecks and security risks. It analyzes ORM usage to detect N+1 queries, evaluates template security for XSS vulnerabilities, and ensures migration safety to prevent production downtime. By enforcing idiomatic patterns like Class-Based Views and the Service Layer, this skill helps developers maintain scalable, secure, and high-performing Python web applications.
