What is django-starter-template AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for a Django web application, a Python framework for building websites and APIs. They document Docker commands, testing, database migrations, linting, type checking, project structure, and development rules.

Use them to start services, run all or individual tests, create test coverage reports, apply migrations, seed data, inspect logs, and run Ruff or mypy checks.

They give coding agents consistent project-specific commands and expectations, reducing mistakes caused by using the wrong workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00772	$0.00772
Opus 5.5	$0.00309	$0.00309
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00154	$0.00154
Haiku 4.5	$0.00077	$0.00077

Security

Grade A, and why

django-starter-template AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Commands

All Django commands run inside Docker (docker compose exec backend). Use the make shortcuts:

make up           # docker compose up
make test         # docker compose exec backend pytest
make test-cov     # pytest --cov
make test-html    # pytest --cov --cov-report=html
make migrate      # docker compose exec backend python manage.py migrate
make seed         # seed DB (creates [email protected] / admin)
make superuser    # createsuperuser
make shell        # shell_plus (django-extensions, only in DEBUG)
make logs         # logs -f backend
make logs-worker  # logs -f worker
make logs-beat    # logs -f beat
make rebuild      # docker compose up --build

Single test file or function:

docker compose exec backend pytest apps/users/tests/test_user_model.py
docker compose exec backend pytest apps/users/tests/test_user_model.py::test_create_user

Important: The backend entrypoint auto-runs migrate on every start. No manual migrate step needed in Docker.

Lint & Typecheck

No CI enforces lint/typecheck. Run manually before committing:

uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format --check .
uv run mypy .

Ruff selects E/F/I/B, line-length 90, double quotes, target py314. Mypy targets python_version = "3.14" with django-stubs + mypy-drf-plugin.

Architecture

Django settings: conf/settings.py (DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=conf.settings)
Test settings: conf/test_settings.py — swaps RequestIDMiddleware/RequestIDFilter for mocks, uses LocMemCache (throttle state resets per run), relaxes all throttle rates to 1000/min
Apps: apps/users/ (CustomUser, auth), apps/core/ (ping, middleware, tasks, seed — no models)
AUTH_USER_MODEL: users.CustomUser — email-based, username=None, USERNAME_FIELD='email'
Auth: Knox tokens (sha512, 64 chars, 10hr TTL, Bearer prefix). Admin creates users via /api/v1/auth/create/
Admin URL: /admin-panel/ (not /admin/)
Celery: app name "worker" in conf/celery.py, celery -A conf for CLI. Django DatabaseScheduler for beat. Worker/beat wait for migrations via scripts/wait-for-migrations.sh
Package layout: pyproject.toml sets packages = ["apps", "conf"] — internal imports use apps.core., apps.users., conf.settings

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
