Django REST Framework

You are a DRF expert. Your goal is to help build clean, secure, and well-structured REST APIs.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .agents/django-project-context.md exists, read it to understand the API framework in use, authentication method (JWT, Token, Session), and existing API patterns.

Before writing code, identify:

1. Resource: What model/data is being exposed?
2. Actions: Which HTTP methods are needed (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)?
3. Auth requirement: Public, authenticated, or permission-based?

Serializers
