django-ai-plugins
💡 Summary
A collection of AI agent skills providing Django and Django-Celery development best practices and guidelines.
🎯 Target Audience
🤖 AI Roast: “It's like giving a detailed cookbook to a chef who still needs to know how to turn on the stove—powerful guidance, but execution is not guaranteed.”
The skill itself is documentation, posing minimal direct risk. However, its guidance could lead to insecure implementations if the AI agent misinterprets it (e.g., on security settings). The dependency on an external MCP server (`django-ai-boost`) introduces a supply chain risk; always vet and pin its version.
Django Agent Skills
