sdlc-django-conventions

Django web framework conventions: app layout, settings split (base/local/production), URLconf with app namespacing, CBV and DRF ViewSets, DRF serializers and permissions, form validation, signals, Django admin registration, and middleware. Activated automatically by django-plugin/stack.md. Works alongside sdlc-python-conventions and sdlc-django-orm-patterns. Use this skill to: - Structure a Django project with multiple apps and correct URLconf hierarchy. - Write CBVs and DRF ViewSets with appropriate permissions and serializers. - Configure settings correctly for different environments. - Use signals for decoupled event handling between apps. - Register models in Django admin with useful list_display and search_fields. Do NOT use this skill for: - Django ORM model field finalization and migration patterns — see sdlc-django-orm-patterns. - Python language idioms (type hints, dataclasses, enums) — see sdlc-python-conventions. - Testing patterns — see sdlc-pytest-testing.
