51%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The skill provides a solid scaffolding example with executable Python code and a clear directory structure, but it falls short on workflow guidance and completeness. It over-explains its own purpose while under-delivering on the promised coverage of ORM patterns, model inheritance details, and validation workflows. Key files like ir.model.access.csv and views XML are referenced but never shown.
Suggestions
Add a clear step-by-step development workflow with validation checkpoints (e.g., install module, check Odoo logs for errors, verify model in Settings > Technical > Database Structure).
Remove the 'Overview', 'When to Use', and 'How It Works' meta-sections — they consume tokens explaining things Claude doesn't need to know about itself.
Include the content of ir.model.access.csv and the views XML file in the example, as these are common sources of errors and are referenced but never shown.
Add concrete examples for the promised ORM patterns (compute, onchange, constraints) and model inheritance (_inherit vs _inherits), which are mentioned in the description but absent from the content.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The 'Overview' and 'When to Use This Skill' sections explain things Claude doesn't need (e.g., 'This skill transforms your AI into an expert'). The 'How It Works' activation instructions are unnecessary padding. However, the examples and best practices sections are reasonably efficient. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable code for the manifest, model file, and directory structure. The best practices are specific and actionable. However, it's missing the security CSV content (ir.model.access.csv), the views XML content, and the __init__.py imports, which are key files a developer would need to complete the module. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | There is no clear multi-step workflow for building and validating a module. The 'How It Works' section describes activation steps rather than development steps. There are no validation checkpoints (e.g., install the module, check logs for errors, verify in the UI). Module development involves potentially destructive database operations and the lack of any verification steps is a significant gap. | 2 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is structured with clear sections and headers, which is good. However, references to other skills (@odoo-xml-views-builder, @odoo-automated-tests) are mentioned in Limitations but there are no bundle files or linked documents for advanced topics like ORM patterns, inheritance patterns, or security setup details that the skill description promises to cover. | 3 / 5 |
