What it does

Odoo 16 is an agent skill from unclecatvn/agent-skills. Odoo 16 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 16 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…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 22 other files, including reference files (for example `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md` and `references/api-highlights.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization, CSS and styling and ORMs and data access. It works with Odoo and Python. The repository describes itself as: Odoo Skills Documentation. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Work involves Odoo 16
  • Custom addons—even if the user only pastes a traceback
  • Mentions addons/
  • Describes form/tree/kanban/XML errors

Example prompts

  • “/odoo-16”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3039ef3. 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.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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 16 loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~124k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 165 tokens; SKILL.md has 366 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~165
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~124k

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.

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 "Wrong:" items are what not to use in Odoo 16.

Apply the relevant convention section in the guide you open. The conventions are advisory: preserve the style of an existing stable addon and keep diffs focused. When guidance conflicts, prefer Odoo 16 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.
