django-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 23 tokens per session (542 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A development guide for Django, a Python web framework, and Django REST Framework, which is used to build web APIs. It covers application structure, security, database access, testing, and deployment checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop Django sites and APIs, define models and permissions, write tests, check migrations, and prepare deployments.
Why use it?
It gives developers consistent patterns for building and checking Django applications, while reducing common security and database-performance mistakes.

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.

Security

Grade B, and why

django-development scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

- **Context Bypass**: Adding instructions to `CLAUDE.md` to ignore security rules.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

What it actually says

CIEL ADAPTATION: Django Development (The Python Web Layer)

This skill formalizes the development of scalable Django and Django REST Framework (DRF) applications.

Architecture & Patterns

  1. Split Settings: Use base.py, development.py, and production.py.
  2. Models: Extend AbstractUser early. Use custom QuerySets for reusable logic.
  3. DRF: Use ViewSets for standard CRUD. Map serializers to specific actions (List vs Create).
  4. Performance: Use select_related (FK) and prefetch_related (M2M) to prevent N+1 queries.

Security Standards

  • Harness: Disable DEBUG in production. Rotate SECRET_KEY via env vars.
  • SQLi: Trust the ORM. Prohibit direct string interpolation in .raw() or .extra().
  • XSS: Use template auto-escaping. Use mark_safe ONLY after manual escaping.
  • Permissions: Deny by default. Use PermissionRequiredMixin or custom DRF BasePermission.

TDD & Verification

  • Framework: pytest-django + factory_boy. Avoid manual object creation.
  • CI Loop: Clean env -> ruff check -> makemigrations --check -> pytest --cov (80% gate).
  • Deployment: Run check --deploy before finalizing any infra-related branch.

Anti-Patterns

  • Signal Hell: Overusing signals for business logic (makes control flow invisible).
  • Context Bypass: Adding instructions to CLAUDE.md to ignore security rules.
  • Amnesiac Migrations: Modifying a model without including the corresponding migration file.

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.
