What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly diagnose and fix Django REST Framework API issues, including serializer fields, viewsets, permissions, pagination, filtering, and response structure, saving hours of back-and-forth debugging.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Endpoint Diagnosis: Identify failing endpoints by tracing router patterns, views, and serializers.
• Serializer & Field Verification: Ensure required fields are included and nested serializers are correct.
• Permissions & Authentication Checks: Diagnose access issues, token validity, and correct permission usage.
• Pagination & Filters Debugging: Resolve incorrect pagination or filter behavior to match client expectations.

Quick Start

Make a failing request to a DRF endpoint (e.g., http://localhost:8000/api/v1/projects/) with appropriate auth headers, then follow the debugging steps to trace issues to serializers, viewsets, or permissions.
