What it does

Odoo Module Developer is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Expert guide for creating custom Odoo modules. Covers manifest.py, model inheritance, ORM patterns, and module structure best practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases, covering ORMs and data access. It works with Odoo. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve ORMs and data access

Example prompts

  • “/odoo-module-developer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Activate: Mention @odoo-module-developer and describe the module you want to build.
  2. Scaffold: Get the full folder structure with manifest.py, init.py, models, views, and security files.
  3. Review: Paste existing code and get a review against Odoo best practices.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Odoo Module Developer loads about 904 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~904

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Odoo Module Developer

Overview

This skill transforms your AI into an expert Odoo custom module developer. It guides you through scaffolding new modules, defining models, setting up security, and following Odoo's coding conventions for both Community and Enterprise editions.

When to Use This Skill

  • Starting a new custom Odoo module from scratch.
  • Extending an existing Odoo model (e.g., adding fields to sale.order).
  • Troubleshooting module loading errors or manifest issues.
  • Implementing onchange, compute, and constraint methods correctly.

How It Works

  1. Activate: Mention @odoo-module-developer and describe the module you want to build.
  2. Scaffold: Get the full folder structure with __manifest__.py, __init__.py, models, views, and security files.
  3. Review: Paste existing code and get a review against Odoo best practices.

Examples

Example 1: Scaffold a New Module

Prompt: Create a module called "hospital_management" with a model for patients

Generated structure:

text
hospital_management/
├── __manifest__.py
├── __init__.py
├── models/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── hospital_patient.py
├── views/
│   └── hospital_patient_views.xml
├── security/
│   ├── ir.model.access.csv
│   └── security.xml
└── data/

__manifest__.py:

python
{
    'name': 'Hospital Management',
    'version': '17.0.1.0.0',
    'category': 'Healthcare',
    'depends': ['base', 'mail'],
    'data': [
        'security/ir.model.access.csv',
        'views/hospital_patient_views.xml',
    ],
    'installable': True,
    'license': 'LGPL-3',
}

models/hospital_patient.py:

python
from odoo import models, fields, api

class HospitalPatient(models.Model):
    _name = 'hospital.patient'
    _description = 'Hospital Patient'
    _inherit = ['mail.thread', 'mail.activity.mixin']

    name = fields.Char(string='Patient Name', required=True, tracking=True)
    birth_date = fields.Date(string='Birth Date')
    doctor_id = fields.Many2one('res.users', string='Assigned Doctor')
    state = fields.Selection([
        ('draft', 'New'),
        ('confirmed', 'Confirmed'),
        ('done', 'Done'),
    ], default='draft', tracking=True)

Best Practices

  • ✅ Do: Always prefix your model _name with a namespace (e.g., hospital.patient).
  • ✅ Do: Use _inherit = ['mail.thread'] to add chatter/logging automatically.
  • ✅ Do: Specify version in manifest as {odoo_version}.{major}.{minor}.{patch}.
  • ✅ Do: Set 'author' and 'website' in __manifest__.py so your module is identifiable in the Apps list.
  • ❌ Don't: Modify core Odoo model files directly — always use _inherit.
  • ❌ Don't: Forget to add new models to ir.model.access.csv or users will get access errors.
  • ❌ Don't: Use spaces or uppercase in folder names — Odoo requires snake_case module names.

Limitations

  • Does not cover OWL JavaScript components or frontend widget development — use @odoo-xml-views-builder for view XML.
  • Odoo 13 and below have a different module structure (no __manifest__.py auto-loading) — this skill targets v14+.
  • Does not cover multi-company or multi-website configuration; those require additional model fields (company_id, website_id).
  • Does not generate automated test files — use @odoo-automated-tests for that.
