Odoo Knowledge Base

This skill aggregates the complete Odoo v19 reference documentation maintained by ATUM. When you're working on an Odoo project, read the relevant guide in references/ before writing or modifying code — Odoo has many conventions (OCA standards, multi-company rules, security model) that are not obvious from the code.

How to use

1. Identify the topic — use the index below to find the right reference.
2. Read the reference file from references/ (they live next to this SKILL.md).
3. Apply the patterns — each guide contains idiomatic Odoo v19 code you can adapt.
4. Cross-reference agents — for deep domain work, delegate to the matching expert agent (odoo-orm-expert, odoo-accounting-expert, etc.).

Module templates (external)

Full working Odoo module templates are available in the upstream ultra-create-v28 repository. They are not bundled in this plugin to keep it lean. To use them:

Template	Purpose	URL
module-skeleton	Minimal module with models, views, security, cron, controllers	https://github.com/arnwaldn/ultra-create-v28/tree/main/knowledge/odoo/templates/module-skeleton
event-association	Non-profit: members, events, donations, memberships	https://github.com/arnwaldn/ultra-create-v28/tree/main/knowledge/odoo/templates/event-association

Fetching a template

Use the /odoo-module command or ask the odoo-orm-expert agent to bootstrap a new module by adapting one of these templates. You can clone the upstream repo sparsely:

git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/arnwaldn/ultra-create-v28.git
cd ultra-create-v28
git sparse-checkout set knowledge/odoo/templates/module-skeleton
cp -r knowledge/odoo/templates/module-skeleton /path/to/your/addons/my_new_module
