## Capabilities

- Reviews Django backend changes using a correctness-first priority order.
- Checks multi-tenant scoping, permissions, exports, and auditability concerns.
- Flags unsafe Django migrations and recommends safer rollout patterns.
- Evaluates tests for edge cases, regressions, and realistic fixtures.
- Applies SOLID principles through focused review checklists and examples.
- Produces structured Markdown reviews with strengths, issues, tests, and verdicts.

## Use Cases

- Review a Django pull request: Use it before merge to find tenant scoping, data integrity, migration, and test coverage issues.
- Audit a backend refactor: Use it to check that refactors preserve contracts, reduce complexity, and keep behavior easy to test.
- Improve review consistency: Use it to standardize review language, severity tags, and quality expectations across backend changes.

## Prompt Templates

```

## Limitations

- It is tuned for Django and Python backend repositories.
- It does not replace running the project test suite.
- It may be too strict for quick exploratory reviews.
- It needs repository context to cite exact files and lines.

## Best Practices

- Provide the PR diff, business context, and any migration notes before asking for review.
- Ask for a quick pass only when small style feedback would slow the review.
- Run tests and linters after applying review suggestions.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use it as a generic frontend or design review skill.
- Do not ignore blocking tenant scoping, permission, or migration warnings.
- Do not ask it to approve code without repository context.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-05T13:21:31.174\+00:00
- Summary: I found no evidence of malicious intent, prompt injection, credential exfiltration, or hidden code execution. The static findings are false positives from Markdown inline code, review examples, and normal code review vocabulary.
