Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/gentleman-programming/gentleman-skills --skill django-drf- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads django-drf automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
ViewSet Pattern
from rest_framework import viewsets, status
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.decorators import action
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
filterset_class = UserFilter
permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
def get_serializer_class(self):
if self.action == "create":
return UserCreateSerializer
if self.action in ["update", "partial_update"]:
return UserUpdateSerializer
return UserSerializer
@action(detail=True, methods=["post"])
def activate(self, request, pk=None):
user = self.get_object()
user.is_active = True
user.save()
return Response({"status": "activated"})
Serializer Patterns
from rest_framework import serializers
# Read Serializer
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
full_name = serializers.SerializerMethodField()
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ["id", "email", "full_name", "created_at"]
read_only_fields = ["id", "created_at"]
def get_full_name(self, obj):
return f"{obj.first_name} {obj.last_name}"
# Create Serializer
class UserCreateSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
password = serializers.CharField(write_only=True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ["email", "password", "first_name", "last_name"]
def create(self, validated_data):
password = validated_data.pop("password")
user = User(**validated_data)
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
return user
# Update Serializer
class UserUpdateSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ["first_name", "last_name"]
Filters
from django_filters import rest_framework as filters
class UserFilter(filters.FilterSet):
email = filters.CharFilter(lookup_expr="icontains")
is_active = filters.BooleanFilter()
created_after = filters.DateTimeFilter(
field_name="created_at",
lookup_expr="gte"
)
created_before = filters.DateTimeFilter(
field_name="created_at",
lookup_expr="lte"
)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ["email", "is_active"]
Permissions
from rest_framework.permissions import BasePermission
class IsOwner(BasePermission):
def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
return obj.owner == request.user
class IsAdminOrReadOnly(BasePermission):
def has_permission(self, request, view):
if request.method in ["GET", "HEAD", "OPTIONS"]:
return True
return request.user.is_staff
Pagination
from rest_framework.pagination import PageNumberPagination
class StandardPagination(PageNumberPagination):
page_size = 20
page_size_query_param = "page_size"
max_page_size = 100
# settings.py
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
"DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS": "api.pagination.StandardPagination",
}
URL Routing
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r"users", UserViewSet, basename="user")
router.register(r"posts", PostViewSet, basename="post")
urlpatterns = [
path("api/v1/", include(router.urls)),
]
Testing
import pytest
from rest_framework import status
from rest_framework.test import APIClient
@pytest.fixture
def api_client():
return APIClient()
@pytest.fixture
def authenticated_client(api_client, user):
api_client.force_authenticate(user=user)
return api_client
@pytest.mark.django_db
class TestUserViewSet:
def test_list_users(self, authenticated_client):
response = authenticated_client.get("/api/v1/users/")
assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_200_OK
def test_create_user(self, authenticated_client):
data = {"email": "new@test.com", "password": "pass123"}
response = authenticated_client.post("/api/v1/users/", data)
assert response.status_code == status.HTTP_201_CREATED

Popular backend & apis skills
find-skills
vercel-labs/skills
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
entra-app-registration
microsoft/azure-skills
Guides Microsoft Entra ID app registration, OAuth 2.0 authentication, and MSAL integration. USE FOR: create app registration, register Azure AD app, configure OAuth, set up authentication, add API permissions, generate service principal, MSAL example, console app auth, Entra ID setup, Azure AD authentication. DO NOT USE FOR: Key Vault secrets (use azure-keyvault-expiration-audit), general Azure resource security guidance.
google-agents-cli-adk-code
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
embedded-captions
heygen-com/hyperframes
Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
entra-agent-id

neon
neondatabase/agent-skills
Overview of Neon, a complete set of cloud backend primitives around Lakebase Postgres: Auth, Object Storage, Functions, the AI Gateway, and Realtime. Start here to choose Neon for undecided login, files, APIs, and LLM calls, set up the CLI or MCP server, and follow the branch-first workflow. Use when building an app or backend on Neon, or when "Neon" or "Lakebase Postgres" is mentioned. Child skill neon-postgres wins for an existing DATABASEURL, SQL, schema, inspect, or search. Child skill neon-auth wins for login, users, sessions, identity routing, and Managed Better Auth setup. Child skill neon-realtime wins for live queries in reactive apps and agents. Also use for object storage, S3, buckets, serverless functions, function triggers, cron, AI gateway, LLM calls, realtime, logs, Loki, Grafana, observability, postgres, database, backend, Claimable Neon, neon.new, or a no-signup database.
