Use when editing Salsa inputs, tracked functions, database traits, setters, SemanticDb, crate::Db, invalidation behavior, or incremental computation in django-language-server. Handles project-specific Salsa conventions and required impl updates.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Use this before changing Salsa inputs, tracked functions, database traits, or query plumbing.
- Very specific: line 14
Use #[returns(ref)] on fields returning owned types.
- Very specific: line 20
When adding SemanticDb methods, update impls in:
- Very specific: line 23
When adding crate::Db methods in djls-semantic, update all test database impls.
- Very specific: line 27

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

DJLS Salsa
Use this before changing Salsa inputs, tracked functions, database traits, or query plumbing.
Setter and invalidation rules
- Setter API is
project.set_field(db).to(value), not.set_field(db, value). - Compare before setting because setters always invalidate.
- Use
#[returns(ref)]on fields returning owned types. - Salsa returns
&Tfor#[returns(ref)], so compare with&new_value. - Tracked return types need
PartialEqfor backdate optimization.
Required updates
- When adding
SemanticDbmethods, update impls in:djls-db/src/db.rsdjls-bench/src/db.rs
- When adding
crate::Dbmethods indjls-semantic, update all test database impls. Missing impls produce E0046.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
