Django

What this skill does

Builds, debugs, and hardens Django apps: models, the ORM, views, templates, forms, the admin, DRF APIs, and deployment. Use when a page fires one query per row (N+1, select_related, prefetch_related, annotate double-counting); when makemigrations conflicts, a migration locks a live table, or InconsistentMigrationHistory blocks a deploy; on 403 CSRF verification failed, DEBUG=False turning every request into 400 DisallowedHost or a blank 500, or SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT looping behind a proxy; on SynchronousOnlyOperation, AppRegistryNotReady, or NoReverseMatch; when a background task runs before its transaction commits, signals fire on rows that roll back, or update() skips auto_now; when the admin times out on a big table, collectstatic breaks static files, or workers exhaust database connections; when writing serializers, formsets, a custom user model, permissions, or assertNumQueries tests; or upgrading Django across a deprecation. Not for plain Python, FastAPI or Flask services, or engine-level SQL tuning.

Django is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install Django

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for django and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Django with a single command:

openclaw skills add django

This pulls django from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/django/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Django

Once installed, Django activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab django-1.0.3.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/django/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
