Curated by Skill Harbor: a patterns skill for building Django applications that survive production. It prescribes a split-settings project layout (base, development, production, test), model design with proper indexes and constraints, custom QuerySets and managers to kill N+1 queries before they start, and Django REST Framework patterns for serializers, viewsets, permissions, filtering, and custom actions. A service-layer pattern keeps business logic out of views, while caching strategies (view-level, template fragments, low-level cache API), signals, and custom middleware cover the operational side. Performance guidance includes select_related and prefetch_related, database indexing, and bulk operations. By @affaan-m, listed here with credit to its creator. From the affaan-m/ECC repository (MIT). Honest caveats: pure guidance, nothing to install; production settings snippets assume you manage secrets through environment variables, never hardcode them. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MuseThe install prompt below already includes the vetting steps: your agent follows the community checklist before installing anything with executable code. Want more?
Use "Django Patterns" with your Muse. Prerequisites: a Django project (any recent version) to apply the patterns to. Pure guidance skill, nothing to install. 1. Open the skill: https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/main/skills/django-patterns/SKILL.md and copy the full SKILL.md text. 2. Paste it into a chat with Muse and add: "Restructure my Django project following the split-settings layout" or "Review these models and queries for N+1 risks and missing indexes." 3. For APIs, ask: "Design a DRF viewset for [resource] with filtering, ordering, and proper permissions following these patterns." Tip: paste your current settings.py and models.py for concrete, file-level recommendations instead of generic advice. Safety: a skill is plain-text instructions; it runs nothing by itself. Keep SECRET_KEY and database credentials in environment variables, and review anything Muse proposes before it touches your settings.

Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
