odoo-17
Odoo 17 development reference for Python models and ORM (search, domain, readgroup, compute fields), XML/CSV data and views, OWL/JS client code, QWeb reports, security (ACL, record rules, groups), cron and server actions, migrations and module upgrades, tests, i18n, and performance. Use this skill whenever work involves Odoo 17 or custom addons—even if the user only pastes a traceback, mentions addons/ or manifest.py, describes form/tree/kanban/XML errors, HTTP controllers, or business rules on models—including building features, fixing bugs, refactoring, or reviewing addon code. Includes CSS/SCSS asset authoring and review for Odoo addons.

Coding Conventions
Before writing code, run the odoo-workflow skill if it is installed (trace the real
source, Context Brief with file:line, definition of done); install it alongside this pack.
Read references/api-highlights.md before writing code and apply its Quick review
checks: the ❌ items are what not to use in Odoo 17.
Apply the relevant convention section in the guide you open. Conventions are advisory: preserve the style of an existing stable addon and keep diffs focused. When guidance conflicts, prefer Odoo 17 runtime/source behavior, then the surrounding addon style, then the convention.
- Module layout and asset placement: development and controller guides.
- XML formatting and external IDs: data, view, action, report, and security guides.
- Python naming, imports, recordsets, transactions, and translations: model, field, decorator, performance, transaction, and translation guides.
- JavaScript and CSS/SCSS: development guide.

code-review
unclecatvn/agent-skills
Use when receiving code review feedback (especially if unclear or technically questionable), when completing tasks or major features requiring review before proceeding, or before making any completion/success claims. Covers three practices - receiving feedback with technical rigor over performative agreement, requesting reviews via code-reviewer subagent, and verification gates requiring evidence before any status claims. Essential for subagent-driven development, pull requests, and preventing false completion claims.
