Odoo XML Views Builder

Overview

This skill generates and reviews Odoo XML view definitions for Kanban, Form, List, Search, Calendar, and Graph views. It understands visibility modifiers, groups, domain, context, and widget usage across Odoo versions 14–17, including the migration from attrs (v14–16) to inline expressions (v17+).

When to Use This Skill

• Creating a new form or list view for a custom model.
• Adding fields, tabs, or smart buttons to an existing view.
• Building a Kanban view with color coding or progress bars.
• Creating a search view with filters and group-by options.

How It Works

1. Activate: Mention @odoo-xml-views-builder and describe the view you want.
2. Generate: Get complete, ready-to-paste XML view definitions.
3. Review: Paste existing XML and get fixes for common mistakes.

Examples

    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <form string="Patient">
