Implements production-grade security configurations and defensive coding patterns for Django web applications.
The django-security skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge to harden Django web applications against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). It provides comprehensive guidance for configuring secure production settings, implementing robust custom user models, managing role-based access control (RBAC), and validating file uploads. This skill is essential for developers transitioning from local development to production or those conducting deep security audits of existing Python-based web architectures.
