odoo-19

Odoo 19 is a development knowledge base skill that acts as a master index over 18 specialized reference guides for building on the Odoo 19 platform. It solves the problem of Odoo's version-specific API churn by giving an agent an authoritative, curated map of where to find guidance for any development task, from actions and controllers to ORM model methods, field types, security, testing, migrations, and OWL frontend components.

The SKILL.md is a routing index: a quick-reference table maps each topic to its guide in the `references/` directory, and companion CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files add setup guidance for AI IDEs plus high-value cheat sheets. Notably it captures the key Odoo 19 API changes (for example `<tree>` to `<list>`, direct `invisible=` attributes replacing `attrs`, `models.Constraint` replacing `_sql_constraints`, `models.Index` for declarative indexes, `t-out` replacing `t-esc`, privilege-based security groups, `@api.private`, and `_read_group`) and a set of critical anti-patterns with correct approaches, such as avoiding N+1 queries and batching creates. This is documentation and best-practice reference material, not executable tooling.

It targets Odoo developers and AI agents writing, reviewing, or debugging Odoo 19 Python and XML code, creating or modifying modules, fixing performance issues, or looking up current API patterns. Use cases include authoring manifests and views, defining fields and constraints, writing QWeb reports, configuring ACLs and record rules, and migrating modules across versions.
