django-knowledge-patch

A reference guide for building, reviewing, and upgrading Django web applications and extensions. It covers compatibility and the parts of Django involved, such as databases, security, forms, email, geographic data, testing, and static files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on Django upgrades, database queries and migrations, authentication, HTTP security, background tasks, templates, forms, admin pages, email, feeds, geographic features, serialization, or tests.
Why use it?
It helps you check version limits and changed behavior before modifying code. You can consult only the guidance for the Django subsystem affected by your task.

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 A, and why

django-knowledge-patch 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 3d 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.

Django Knowledge Patch

Use this patch when implementing, reviewing, or upgrading Django applications and extensions. Start with compatibility boundaries, then load only the references for the affected subsystem.

Reference index

Reference Topics
upgrading.md Runtime and database floors, release status, removals, deprecations, upgrade boundaries
orm-and-databases.md Composite keys, queries, expressions, migrations, backend options and extension APIs
http-security-auth.md CSP, authentication, sessions, redirects, negotiation, URL handling, DRF
tasks.md Task declaration, backends, enqueueing, serialization, transactions, context and results
templates-forms-admin.md Template partials and tags, form rendering, accessibility and admin behavior
email-and-feeds.md Modern mail objects, attachments, keyword-only calls, mail backends and feed stylesheets
gis.md Geometry APIs, spatial operations, GeoIP2, widgets and input limits
tooling-testing-serialization.md Shell imports, commands, testing, pagination, serializers, scaffolding and static files

Check compatibility before changing code

Read upgrading.md before modifying dependencies or compatibility shims. In particular:

  • Match Python, database, GIS library and asgiref versions to the target Django series.
  • Confirm whether a development series is actually finalized before choosing it as an upgrade target.
  • Search for removed APIs before treating import, argument or extension-hook errors as local bugs.
  • Review deprecations against the application's next intended upgrade boundary.
  • Test third-party database, field, constraint, mail, middleware, admin, prefetch and widget extensions against their changed contracts.

Files

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

django-knowledge-patch is a skill published in the GitHub repository Nevaberry/nevaberry-plugins (24 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 2,043 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
