Use when customizing Django Admin - save_formset, get_search_results, formsets, queryset optimization, db_index, custom URLs.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Django Admin

Specialized guide for Django Admin customization - save hooks, formsets, queryset optimization, and security considerations.

## Overview

Django Admin provides a powerful interface for managing data, but customizing it requires understanding several critical patterns:

- **Save Hooks** - `save_model`, `save_formset` order and tuple shapes
- **Search Validation** - `get_search_results` field validation
- **Formset Restrictions** - `get_formset` per-role child filtering
- **Queryset Optimization** - `select_related`, `prefetch_related`, `annotate`
- **Indexing Strategy** - `db_index` on filter/search fields
- **Audit Logging** - Tracking changes via formset hooks

> **Security Note**: Admin customization touches authorization boundaries. For comprehensive security patterns (CSRF, authentication, permissions), see the main [Django skill](../django/SKILL.md).

### Common Admin Pitfalls

| Pitfall | Impact | Fix |
|---------|--------|-----|
| `.count()` in `list_display` | N+1 queries | Use `annotate()` |
| Wrong `save_formset` shape | Lost change tracking | Expect `[(obj, dict)]` |
| `save_model` after `save_formset` | FK violations | Order is fixed: parent first |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codeatcode/oss-ai-skills/django-admin@sha256:29e4f232358b93ee

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
