django-verification

The django-verification skill provides a comprehensive verification loop designed for Django projects, ensuring code quality, security, and deployment readiness. It addresses the common challenges developers face in maintaining high standards across multiple aspects of a Django application, including migrations, linting, testing with coverage, and security scanning. By automating these checks before pull requests, after significant code changes, or prior to deployment, this skill helps prevent runtime errors, security vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations in production environments.

Key features of django-verification include environment validation to ensure correct Python versions and virtual environment setups, code quality and formatting checks using tools like mypy, ruff, black, and isort, as well as Django-specific management command verifications. It supports migration integrity checks, comprehensive test execution with coverage reporting, and detailed security scans covering dependencies, configuration issues, hardcoded secrets, and debug mode status. Additional phases include Django management command checks, static file collection, superuser creation for tests, database integrity verification, cache testing, and performance monitoring to detect potential inefficiencies such as N+1 queries.

This skill is particularly useful for Django developers, DevOps engineers, and QA teams seeking to maintain reliable and secure applications. It is suited for projects of all sizes where automated verification before code integration or deployment can save time and reduce errors. Use cases include pre-PR checks to catch code issues early, post-migration validations, pre-deployment readiness assessments, and maintaining consistent testing and security standards across development teams.
