What it does
Seedkit gives an agent current Django knowledge. The `/django-seedkit` command starts a short conversation: what the project is, which database, whether auth, payments, background jobs and deployment are needed. From the answers the agent writes the project, wires packages, splits dev and production settings and sets up CI. There is no excess code: only the chosen options reach the project. The knowledge lives in reference files, one per topic, so the right settings come from there. The result is an ordinary Django project with no wrapper and no dependency on the skill. It also works on a live repository: `/django-seedkit add proper auth` brings in the package, settings, a sample `.env` and a CI step. More than 50 packages are on offer.
Who it is for. Django developers and founders who start a new project, or add auth, payments and deployment to a live one, with an agent.
Good fit when
- A SaaS on Django is launching and needs email, analytics, error tracking and a VPS deploy.
- A live project gets magic-link login, brute-force protection and two-factor checks.
- A cookiecutter template makes you delete half of it on day one.
- You want the agent to review a repository and list what is worth adding next.
Not a fit when
- The project is not Django: the kit targets only that framework.
- You want a fixed template with a set choice and no questions.
- `uv` is not installed: the skill checks it with `uv --version` before work.
Example request
/django-seedkit SaaS landing + waitlist, GDPR-friendly stack (mail, analytics, errors), VPS deployLimitations
`uv` is needed before work, and the skill checks it with `uv --version`. Package versions are resolved at generation time, so the result depends on the index state that day. The measurement the author cites covers nine specs with one run per cell and only Claude models, which is too little to rank models. Stripe payments and deployment need your own keys and servers. Always review and test generated code before production.
How to disable. Remove the `seedkit` plugin with the plugin manager or the skill folder added through `npx skills`. A generated project does not depend on the skill and stays as it is.
FAQ
How do I install Seedkit in Claude Code?
Run `/plugin marketplace add viewflow/seedkit`, then `/plugin install seedkit@viewflow`. In an empty folder run `/django-seedkit`.
How do I install it in Cursor, Codex or another agent?
Through the skills CLI: `npx skills add viewflow/seedkit`. The `-g` flag installs globally and `-a cursor` pins the install to one agent.
Does the skill work on an existing project?
Yes. `/django-seedkit add <feature>` brings in the package, settings, a sample `.env` and a CI step. The skill reviews the project first and asks only about what is missing.
How is this better than a cookiecutter template?
You pick options such as Celery or RQ and get code only for them. Package versions are resolved at generation, so the template does not go stale.
What did the author's measurements show?
On nine projects Sonnet 5 with the skill passed 72 of 72 checks, and Fable 5 without it got 54 of 72. The author notes it is one run per cell, so no model ranking follows.

README in short
The README shows three sample prompts, install for Claude Code and other agents, the list of choice areas and why a skill beats a prompt. A table measuring quality over nine projects closes it.
