Selective Reading Rule
Start with:

references/usage-routing.md
references/quality-checklist.md
Then load only the inherited docs, scripts, assets, or examples that match the user's actual task.
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
- Activate: Mention
@odoo-module-developer and describe the module you want to build.
- Scaffold: Get the full folder structure with
__manifest__.py, __init__.py, models, views, and security files.
- Review: Paste existing code and get a review against Odoo best practices.
