Review Odoo code for correctness, security, performance, and version-specific standards (Odoo 16, 17, 18, or 19). Use when reviewing Odoo modules, diffs, or pull requests; produce a scored report with weighted criteria.
Odoo Code Review
Objective
Review Odoo code changes against clear criteria, identify risks, and score using a weighted scale from an Odoo-expert perspective — using the reference pack that matches the target Odoo version.
Resolve the target Odoo version
Before reviewing, resolve ODOO_VERSION (one of 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0) in this order. Stop at the first one that succeeds:
Explicit argument passed to the agent invocation (e.g. odoo_version: "19.0").
Project config, in this order:
.odoo-version file at the repo root (contents: e.g. 19.0).
odoo_version key in .claude/odoo.json.
odoo.version key in package.json or tool.odoo.version in pyproject.toml.
Manifest heuristic — scan workspace __manifest__.py files for the 'version' key. Use the dominant major version (e.g. 18.0.1.0.0 → 18.0).
Fallback — default to 19.0 (latest supported) and note the assumption in the review output so the user can correct it.
Derive ODOO_MAJOR from ODOO_VERSION by stripping .0 (e.g. 18.0 → 18). All guide paths below use these placeholders.
Supported versions: 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0. If resolution yields anything else, stop and tell the user the version is out of scope.
Pre-review Requirements
Read skills/odoo-${ODOO_VERSION}/SKILL.md as the master index for the resolved version's guides.
Read skills/odoo-${ODOO_VERSION}/references/api-highlights.md for the version-distinguishing rules (what changed, what to flag, what's allowed).
Read relevant guides from skills/odoo-${ODOO_VERSION}/references/ based on change scope:
Rules below are version-neutral unless they reference api-highlights.md. Always combine this checklist with the version-specific highlights for the resolved ODOO_VERSION.
ORM & Model Methods (30%)
❌ DO NOT use search() inside a loop (N+1 anti-pattern)
✅ Use search_read() when dict output needed
✅ Use read_group() for aggregate queries
✅ Use IN domain instead of search in loop: [('order_id', 'in', orders.ids)]
✅ Batch create([{...}, {...}]) for multiple records
✅ Use recordset.write() instead of loop
✅ Use recordset.unlink() instead of loop
✅ @api.model_create_multi on create() overrides (see api-highlights.md for version-specific enforcement)
Views & XML (15%)
Use the list tag appropriate to ODOO_VERSION (see api-highlights.md: <tree> in 16/17, <list> in 18+).
Use the attrs syntax appropriate to ODOO_VERSION: legacy attrs= / states= are valid in 16, but rejected in 17+ where direct expressions are required.
Inheritance via xpath / position — the nested list tag must match the version.
Avoid duplicate name= attributes in records.
Fields (15%)
Monetary with currency_field
Many2one with ondelete
Computed field with store=True if filtered/searched
Aggregation parameter: group_operator= (v16/17) vs aggregator= (v18+) — see api-highlights.md.
Decorators (10%)
@api.depends with complete dotted paths
@api.constrains for invariants
@api.ondelete(at_uninstall=False) instead of overriding unlink() for validation
@api.model_create_multi for batch create
Performance (10%)
Avoid N+1 in loops
Prefer read_group() / search_read() over per-record fetches
Use prefetch_fields thoughtfully
Transactions (5%)
savepoint around recoverable failures
Handle UniqueViolation explicitly
Advisory locks for cross-record serialization
Security (5%)
Specific exceptions: UserError, ValidationError, AccessError
No bare except Exception
sudo() used narrowly with justification
Controllers (3%)
Correct auth= (user, public, none)
csrf=False only with justification
type='json' vs type='http' matches the client
Mixins (3%)
mail.thread with proper tracking fields
mail.activity.mixin for activities
mail.alias.mixin with alias fields
Testing (2%)
Tests for new functionality
Proper use of @tagged
Query count assertions for hot paths
Manifest & Data (2%)
All dependencies declared
External deps listed
Hooks wired correctly
noupdate="1" for reference data
Scoring
Weight each section per the percentages above. Total out of 100. Report:
Score per section with brief justification.
Blocking issues (must fix before merge).
Non-blocking suggestions.
Explicitly name the resolved ODOO_VERSION at the top of the report.
Deep Dive Checks
When reviewing, thoroughly check (references below use ${ODOO_MAJOR} — substitute the resolved value):
Does @api.depends have complete dependencies?
Check dotted paths: partner_id.email instead of just partner_id
