Identify Django app boundaries and whether they follow domain ownership or technical layers. 2. Review model design — field types, indexes, constraints, and relationship direction. 3. Check view and serializer responsibilities — are they handling HTTP or also domain logic? 4. Review signal chains for ordering, side effects, and failure behavior. 5. Check querysets for N+1 queries and unnecessary database work. 6. Review migration strategy — are squashed migrations and data migrations planned? 7. Recommend the smallest change that clarifies boundaries or reduces risk. ## Output Format ```markdown Django architecture review: - App boundaries: - Model design: - View & serializer responsibilities: - Signal risks: - Query performance: - Migration strategy: - Recommended change: - Verification: ``` --- > Source: [WangYao-GoGoGo/architecture-agent-skills](https://github.com/WangYao-GoGoGo/architecture-agent-skills) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
