Django Skills for AI Agents

A collection of AI agent skills for Django projects. Built for developers who want Claude Code (or similar AI coding assistants) to help with Django development, common workflows, and best practices.

These skills are designed to work in SaaS Pegasus projects, but should be generally useful for any Django project with similar underlying tech choices (e.g. uv, Vite).

What are Skills?

Skills are markdown files that give AI agents specialized knowledge and workflows for specific tasks. When you add these to your project, agents like Claude Code can recognize when you're working on a Django task and apply the right frameworks and best practices.

Available Skills

| Skill | Description | Triggers | |-------|-------------|----------| | fix-types | Interactively fix type checking issues in Python code | /fix-types, working on mypy errors | | upgrade-js-deps | Upgrade JavaScript dependencies using npm-check-updates, then run post-upgrade checks | /upgrade-js-deps | | upgrade-python-deps | Upgrade Python dependencies using uv, then run post-upgrade checks | /upgrade-python-deps |

Installation

Option 1: CLI Install (Recommended)

Use the Skills CLI to install skills directly:

# Install all skills
npx skills add saaspegasus/django-skills

# Install specific skills
npx skills add saaspegasus/django-skills --skill skill-name

# List available skills
npx skills add saaspegasus/django-skills --list

# Install globally (available across all projects)
npx skills add saaspegasus/django-skills --global

This automatically installs to your .claude/skills/ directory (or ~/.claude/skills/ for global installs).

Option 2: Claude Code Plugin Marketplace

Claude Code has a built-in plugin marketplace for discovering and installing skills:

# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add saaspegasus/django-skills

# Install all skills from the marketplace
/plugin install django-skills

# Or use the interactive UI
/plugin
# Then go to the Discover tab to browse and install

This integrates with Claude Code's plugin system and supports auto-updates.

Option 3: Clone and Copy

Clone the entire repo and copy the skills folder:

git clone https://github.com/saaspegasus/django-skills.git
cp -r django-skills/skills/* .claude/skills/

Option 4: Git Submodule

Add as a submodule for easy updates:

git submodule add https://github.com/saaspegasus/django-skills.git .claude/django-skills

Then reference skills from .claude/django-skills/skills/.

Option 5: Fork and Customize

1. Fork this repository 2. Customize skills for your specific needs 3. Clone your fork into your projects
