What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps Django developers implement common design patterns to improve maintainability, readability, and reusability, reducing boilerplate and easing refactoring.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Custom Model Managers & QuerySets: Encapsulate complex queries and domain logic for reusable data access.
• Model Mixins & Services: Reuse behavior across multiple models and separate business logic.
• Architectural Patterns: Promote clean separation of concerns and testability.

Example usage: Refactor an Article model to use a custom manager and a PublishedQuerySet, then chain methods like Article.objects.published().by_author(user).

Quick Start

Refactor an existing Django model to introduce a custom manager and queryset, and use Article.objects.published() in your views.
