The skill provides solid, actionable XML examples for form and kanban views with version-aware best practices, which is its main strength. However, it over-promises by claiming coverage of Calendar, Graph, and Search views without providing examples or references for them. The introductory sections ('Overview', 'When to Use', 'How It Works') add padding without much value, and there's no validation guidance for verifying generated XML works correctly in Odoo.
Suggestions
Remove or drastically shorten the 'Overview', 'When to Use This Skill', and 'How It Works' sections — they explain things Claude already knows and don't add actionable value.
Add concrete XML examples for Search, Calendar, and Graph views (even brief ones), or remove those claims from the overview to avoid over-promising.
Add a validation step: e.g., 'After adding the XML, upgrade the module with `-u module_name` and check Odoo logs for view parsing errors.'
Show a side-by-side comparison of attrs (v14-16) vs inline expression (v17) syntax for the same visibility condition — this is the key version-specific knowledge Claude needs.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The 'Overview' section restates things Claude already knows (what XML views are, what visibility modifiers are). The 'When to Use This Skill' and 'How It Works' sections add little actionable value and pad the content. The examples and best practices sections are reasonably efficient, but overall there's noticeable fat that could be trimmed. | 3 / 5 |
Actionability | The two XML examples are complete, copy-paste ready, and cover common view types (form with tabs, kanban). Best practices give concrete do/don't guidance with version-specific syntax. However, it lacks examples for Search, Calendar, and Graph views despite claiming coverage, and doesn't show the attrs vs inline expression difference side-by-side, which would be highly actionable. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | This is essentially a single-purpose skill (generate XML views), so complex multi-step workflows aren't strictly required. The 'How It Works' section provides a simple 3-step flow. However, there's no validation step mentioned — no guidance on how to verify the generated XML is correct (e.g., checking Odoo logs, upgrading the module, testing the view). For XML manipulation, a validation checkpoint would strengthen this. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The content is reasonably structured with clear sections (Overview, Examples, Best Practices, Limitations). However, with no bundle files, all content is inlined in a single file. The skill mentions '@odoo-qweb-templates' as a cross-reference but doesn't link to any supporting files for the view types it claims to cover (Calendar, Graph, Search views are mentioned but have no examples or references to where those details live). | 3 / 5 |
