What problem does it solve?
You are customizing Odoo 18 but the agent hallucinates manifest keys, domains, or OWL APIs because generic training data does not match 18.0.
Who is it for?
Solo builders shipping Odoo 18 addons who want one in-repo doc pack the agent can follow file-by-file.
Skip if: Teams on Odoo 17 or earlier, pure no-code Odoo Studio-only changes, or launch/growth SEO work unrelated to module code.
When should I use this skill?
You are implementing or debugging Odoo 18 modules and need agent answers grounded in 18.0-specific guides.
What do I get? / Deliverables
The agent cites the bundled reference guides so modules, data XML, and server code align with Odoo 18 conventions during implementation.
- Agent-guided Odoo module code aligned to reference guides
- Correct use of manifest, data files, and ORM patterns per 18.0 docs
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Odoo custom modules are written during product construction; the skill is a build-time reference library, not distribution or ops. Guides cover models, controllers, actions, migrations, and server-side module structure—the core backend shelf for Odoo 18.
How it compares
Use as a version-pinned Odoo skill package instead of asking the agent to improvise from outdated generic ERP snippets.
