Individual skill
django-test-performance
Improve slow Django test suites through measured profiling, safe test settings, database and migration tuning, parallel execution, test-data cleanup, and CI workflow changes. Use when Django or pytest-django tests are slow, CI test jobs take too long, database setup dominates runtime, or a user asks for a prioritized speedup plan rather than isolated test fixes.

# Django Test Performance
Use this as the orchestration skill for speeding up a Django test suite. Do not start by changing settings blindly; first measure the suite and then pick the smallest safe optimization with a repeatable verification command.
## Core Workflow
1. Establish a baseline.
- Run the same command developers or CI use.
- Capture wall-clock time, runner, settings module, database backend, worker count, and branch.
- If the cause is unclear, use `django-test-profiling` before changing behavior.
2. Classify the dominant cost.
- Startup/import/discovery: reduce collection scope and expensive app initialization.
- Database creation/migrations: reuse DB locally, squash migration history, or improve database storage.
