Odoo 18 Skill - Master Index

Master index for all Odoo 18 development guides. Read the appropriate guide from references/ based on your task.

Quick Reference

Coding Conventions

Before writing code, run the odoo-workflow skill if it is installed (trace the real source, Context Brief with file:line, definition of done); install it alongside this pack.

Apply the convention section in the guide you open. Odoo 18 runtime behavior, then existing stable-addon style, takes precedence; keep diffs focused.

• Module naming, assets, JavaScript, CSS, and SCSS: development guide.
• XML formatting and IDs: data, actions, reports, security, and views guides.
• Python, recordsets, transactions, and translations: model, field, decorator, performance, transaction, and translation guides.
