Agent skills for Django projects
43 open-license skills in our database are built for Django, and 288 skills match a typical Django project. Below: what coding agents get wrong on Django, 3 picks to start with, and where each agent loads them.
Updated 2026-10-18. Tags used for this page: python, django.
What coding agents get wrong in Django
Agents write N+1 queries in views and templates, put business logic in views, and forget migrations after a model change. New endpoints miss CSRF and permission checks.
Skills that help
Skills for ORM query patterns, Django security review and Django tests.
Cursor rules: the database holds 13 Cursor rule files (.mdc) tagged Django (django, django-forms, django-middleware, django-models, django-orm, django-rest-framework, and more). Cursor reads them from .cursor/rules/. Other agents load SKILL.md skills, so most picks here are skills.
3 picks to start with
1. django-patterns
Django architecture patterns, REST API design with DRF, ORM best practices, caching, signals, middleware, and production-grade Django apps.
npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill django-patterns
2. django-security
Django security best practices, authentication, authorization, CSRF protection, SQL injection prevention, XSS prevention, and secure deployment configurations.
npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill django-security
3. django-tdd
Django testing strategies with pytest-django, TDD methodology, factoryboy, mocking, coverage, and testing Django REST Framework APIs.
npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill django-tdd

These 3 fit Django in general. The scan box opens with a sample Django description you can edit. A scan reads your repo or description, shows the match count and 2 picks free, and the full curated list (up to 30 picks with install commands, reasons and overlap notes) costs $9 once.
Where each agent loads Django skills
- Claude Code: project folder
.claude/skills/, install flag--agent claude-code - Cursor: project folder
.cursor/skills/ or .agents/skills/, install flag--agent cursor - Codex: project folder
.agents/skills/, install flag--agent codex - GitHub Copilot: project folder
.github/skills/ or .agents/skills/, install flag--agent github-copilot
npx skills add owner/repo --skill skill-name --agent claude-code
How we count
We match project tags against 86,803 skills from 5,854 public GitHub repos (refreshed 2026-10-18). A skill built for another framework or language is left out, and so is a skill below our relevance floor. The picks on this page come from the ranked list for these tags. We favor broad practice skills over single-task ones. Licenses are shown as each repo declares them. Read a skill before you install it.
Questions
What agent skills should I use for Django?
Start with a broad practice skill built for Django, then add skills for testing and review. In our database 43 skills are tagged for Django and 288 skills match a typical Django project. The picks on this page are a place to start. A scan of your repo ranks the full list for your tasks.
What does a Django security skill check?
Access rules on views, CSRF, settings for production, and raw SQL. Read each skill page for its exact scope.
Are there Cursor rules for Django?
Yes. The database holds 13 Cursor rule files (.mdc) tagged Django. Cursor loads them from .cursor/rules/. Claude Code, Codex and Copilot do not read .mdc rules, so pick SKILL.md skills for those agents.
Where do Django skills go for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Copilot?
Claude Code reads .claude/skills/, Cursor reads .cursor/skills/ or .agents/skills/, Codex reads .agents/skills/, and GitHub Copilot reads .github/skills/ or .agents/skills/. The install command takes --agent with the agent name and copies the skill folder there.
Why 3 picks here?
