Odoo 19 Backend
Use this for Odoo-specific server behavior agents often get wrong. It skips generic Python, ORM, and XML material. Load only the narrowest reference that matches the task.

Backend Defaults
- Model methods may receive empty or multi-record
self; enforce singleton semantics explicitly. - Public model methods are RPC-reachable. Keep security in Python, ACLs, and rules, not only in views.
- Prefer ORM. If SQL is necessary, flush before reads/writes and invalidate cache after writes.
- Batch by default:
_read_group, batchcreate, recordset-aware loops, and query-count checks catch most regressions. - Keep real invariants on models, not only in
onchange, cron wrappers, or controllers. - Before shipping, read best-practices-odoo-19-backend.
Cross-Skill Guidance
- Use the odoo router when the request is broad, ambiguous, or spans multiple Odoo domains.
- Use the odoo-frontend skill when the task is primarily web-client JavaScript, views, widgets, arch XML, or frontend assets.
- Use the odoo-javascript-testing skill when the task is Hoot, web test helpers, mock-server work, or frontend JS testing internals.
