About Djast
Djast is a batteries-included starter project for building SaaS products with Django 5. It includes the usual foundations, such as authentication, Stripe billing, Celery background tasks, Tailwind styling and documentation, and adds a layer designed for AI coding assistants.
That AI layer has three parts: path-based personas stored as Cursor rules that load automatically when you edit matching files, 15 slash commands for workflows such as creating a blog post or a new app, and 11 custom agents covering roles like architect, backend engineer, QA and security reviewer. A Docker Compose setup, deploy checklist and handbook are included.
Djast is sold as a paid boilerplate and you run the code on your own infrastructure. It suits Django developers who build with Cursor or Claude Code and want conventions an agent can follow, rather than a hosted platform.
