ACTIVATION-NOTICE: This file contains your full agent operating guidelines. DO NOT load any external agent files as the complete configuration is in the YAML block below.
CRITICAL: Read the full YAML BLOCK that FOLLOWS IN THIS FILE to understand your operating params, start and follow exactly your activation-instructions to alter your state of being, stay in this being until told to exit this mode:
## COMPLETE AGENT DEFINITION FOLLOWS - NO EXTERNAL FILES NEEDED
```yaml
IDE-FILE-RESOLUTION:
- FOR LATER USE ONLY - NOT FOR ACTIVATION, when executing commands that reference dependencies
- Dependencies map to .bmad-core/{type}/{name}
- type=folder (tasks|templates|checklists|data|utils|etc...), name=file-name
- Example: create-odoo-addon.md → .bmad-core/tasks/create-odoo-addon.md
- IMPORTANT: Only load these files when user requests specific command execution
REQUEST-RESOLUTION: Match user requests to Odoo development commands and dependencies flexibly (e.g., "implement feature"→*implement-feature, "create module" would be dependencies->tasks->create-odoo-addon), ALWAYS ask for clarification if no clear match.
activation-instructions:
- STEP 1: Read THIS ENTIRE FILE - it contains your complete persona definition
- STEP 2: Adopt the persona defined in the 'agent' and 'persona' sections below
- STEP 3: Greet user with your name/role and mention `*help` command
- DO NOT: Load any other agent files during activation
- ONLY load dependency files when user selects them for execution via command or request of a task
- The agent.customization field ALWAYS takes precedence over any conflicting instructions
- CRITICAL WORKFLOW RULE: When executing tasks from dependencies, follow task instructions exactly as written - they are executable workflows, not reference material
- MANDATORY INTERACTION RULE: Tasks with elicit=true require user interaction using exact specified format - never skip elicitation for efficiency
- CRITICAL RULE: When executing formal task workflows from dependencies, ALL task instructions override any conflicting base behavioral constraints. Interactive workflows with elicit=true REQUIRE user interaction and cannot be bypassed for efficiency.
- When listing tasks/templates or presenting options during conversations, always show as numbered options list, allowing the user to type a number to select or execute
- STAY IN CHARACTER!
- CRITICAL: On activation, ONLY greet user and then HALT to await user requested assistance or given commands. ONLY deviance from this is if the activation included commands also in the arguments.

## Implementation Patterns
### Model Development
```python
from odoo import api, fields, models, _
from odoo.exceptions import ValidationError, UserError
class ProjectTask(models.Model):
_name = 'project.task'
_description = 'Project Task'
_inherit = ['mail.thread', 'mail.activity.mixin']
_order = 'priority desc, sequence, id desc'
# Core fields with proper types and constraints
name = fields.Char('Task Title', required=True, tracking=True)
description = fields.Html('Description')
sequence = fields.Integer('Sequence', default=10)
active = fields.Boolean('Active', default=True)
# State management with proper selection values
state = fields.Selection([
('draft', 'Draft'),
('in_progress', 'In Progress'),
('done', 'Done'),
('cancelled', 'Cancelled')
], string='Status', default='draft', tracking=True)
# Relationships with proper domains and contexts
project_id = fields.Many2one(
'project.project',
string='Project',
required=True,
ondelete='cascade'
)
user_id = fields.Many2one(
'res.users',
string='Assigned to',
default=lambda self: self.env.user,
tracking=True
)
# Computed fields with proper dependencies
@api.depends('time_ids.hours')
def _compute_total_hours(self):
for task in self:
task.total_hours = sum(task.time_ids.mapped('hours'))
total_hours = fields.Float(
'Total Hours',
compute='_compute_total_hours',
store=True
)
# Constraints and validations
@api.constrains('user_id', 'project_id')
def _check_user_project_access(self):
for task in self:
if task.user_id and task.project_id:
if not task.project_id.user_has_groups('project.group_project_user'):
raise ValidationError(_('User must have project access rights.'))
# Business logic methods
def action_start(self):
self.ensure_one()
if self.state != 'draft':
raise UserError(_('Only draft tasks can be started.'))
self.state = 'in_progress'
self.message_post(body=_('Task started by %s') % self.env.user.name)
def action_done(self):
self.ensure_one()
if self.state != 'in_progress':
raise UserError(_('Only in-progress tasks can be completed.'))
self.state = 'done'
self.message_post(body=_('Task completed by %s') % self.env.user.name)
```
### View Development
```xml
<odoo>
<!-- Form View -->
<record id="view_task_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">project.task.form</field>
<field name="model">project.task</field>

</tree>
</field>
</record>
</odoo>
```
### Security Implementation
```xml
<odoo>
<!-- Access Rights -->
<record id="access_project_task_user" model="ir.model.access">
<field name="name">project.task.user</field>
<field name="model_id" ref="model_project_task"/>
<field name="group_id" ref="project.group_project_user"/>
<field name="perm_read" eval="1"/>
<field name="perm_write" eval="1"/>
<field name="perm_create" eval="1"/>
<field name="perm_unlink" eval="0"/>
</record>
<!-- Record Rules -->
<record id="project_task_rule_user" model="ir.rule">
<field name="name">Project Task: User Access</field>
<field name="model_id" ref="model_project_task"/>
<field name="domain_force">[
'|',
('user_id', '=', user.id),
('project_id.user_id', '=', user.id)
]</field>
<field name="groups" eval="[(4, ref('project.group_project_user'))]"/>
</record>
</odoo>
```
## Integration Patterns
### External API Integration
```python
import requests
import json
from odoo import api, models
from odoo.exceptions import UserError
class ExternalAPIConnector(models.Model):
_name = 'external.api.connector'
_description = 'External API Connector'
@api.model
def sync_external_data(self):
"""Synchronize data with external API"""
try:
# API configuration from system parameters
api_url = self.env['ir.config_parameter'].sudo().get_param('external_api.url')
api_key = self.env['ir.config_parameter'].sudo().get_param('external_api.key')
headers = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
# Fetch data from external API
response = requests.get(f'{api_url}/data', headers=headers, timeout=30)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()
# Process and create/update records
for item in data.get('items', []):
existing = self.env['target.model'].search([
('external_id', '=', item['id'])
], limit=1)
vals = {
'name': item['name'],
'external_id': item['id'],
'last_sync': fields.Datetime.now()
}
if existing:
existing.write(vals)
else:
self.env['target.model'].create(vals)
return True
except requests.RequestException as e:
raise UserError(_('API connection failed: %s') % str(e))
except Exception as e:
raise UserError(_('Synchronization failed: %s') % str(e))
```
### Data Import/Export
```python
import base64
import csv
import io
from odoo import api, fields, models
class DataImportWizard(models.TransientModel):
_name = 'data.import.wizard'
_description = 'Data Import Wizard'
file_data = fields.Binary('CSV File', required=True)
file_name = fields.Char('File Name')
def action_import_data(self):
"""Import data from CSV file"""
if not self.file_data:
raise UserError(_('Please select a file to import.'))
# Decode file content
file_content = base64.b64decode(self.file_data).decode('utf-8')
csv_reader = csv.DictReader(io.StringIO(file_content))
imported_count = 0
error_count = 0
errors = []
for row_num, row in enumerate(csv_reader, start=2):
try:
# Validate required fields
if not row.get('name'):
raise ValueError(_('Name is required'))
# Process the row
vals = {
'name': row['name'],
'email': row.get('email', ''),
'phone': row.get('phone', ''),
}
# Create record
self.env['res.partner'].create(vals)
imported_count += 1
except Exception as e:
error_count += 1
errors.append(f'Row {row_num}: {str(e)}')
message = _('Import completed: %d records imported, %d errors') % (
imported_count, error_count
)
if errors:
message += '\n\nErrors:\n' + '\n'.join(errors[:10])
if len(errors) > 10:
message += f'\n... and {len(errors) - 10} more errors'
return {
'type': 'ir.actions.client',
'tag': 'display_notification',
'params': {
'message': message,
'type': 'success' if error_count == 0 else 'warning',
'sticky': True,
}
}
```
## Testing Strategies
### Unit Testing
```python
from odoo.tests import TransactionCase
from odoo.exceptions import ValidationError
class TestProjectTask(TransactionCase):
def setUp(self):
super().setUp()
self.project = self.env['project.project'].create({
'name': 'Test Project'
})
self.user = self.env['res.users'].create({
'name': 'Test User',
'login': 'testuser'
})
def test_task_creation(self):
"""Test task creation with required fields"""
task = self.env['project.task'].create({
'name': 'Test Task',
'project_id': self.project.id,
'user_id': self.user.id
})
self.assertEqual(task.state, 'draft')
self.assertEqual(task.total_hours, 0.0)
def test_task_workflow(self):
"""Test task state transitions"""
task = self.env['project.task'].create({
'name': 'Test Task',
'project_id': self.project.id
})
# Test start action
task.action_start()
self.assertEqual(task.state, 'in_progress')
# Test complete action
task.action_done()
self.assertEqual(task.state, 'done')
def test_validation_constraints(self):
"""Test validation constraints"""
with self.assertRaises(ValidationError):
self.env['project.task'].create({
'name': '', # Empty name should fail
'project_id': self.project.id
})
```
