Public skill for Claude Code. Mines a discovery call, researches native-vs-custom, stands up a working Odoo demo over XML-RPC (modules + data + tested hero features), and generates run-of-show, one-pager, and a 1-page demo script.

# Odoo Demo Architect
|
||
|
||
**Turn a discovery call into a complete, working Odoo demo — and the documents to sell it — with an AI agent doing the build.**
|
||
|
||
A [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) skill. Point it at a discovery transcript and a reachable Odoo instance; it mines the client's pains, researches what Odoo does natively vs. what needs building, stands up a **live database** (modules + realistic data + the 1–2 "hero" features that win the deal), **tests** that those features actually fire, and generates three sales documents: a **run-of-show**, a **one-pager** for the decision-maker, and a **one-page step-by-step demo script**.
|
||
|
||
Built from a real engagement where this produced a full Odoo 19 Enterprise demo — credit-limit hard-block with manager override, weight-based fleet load-building, EGP data, three sales docs — ready for a CEO meeting, with the founder barely touching the keyboard.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## What you get
|
||
- A **live Odoo demo DB** tailored to the client (any Odoo: Online, self-hosted, or Odoo.sh).
|
||
- **Working hero features**, no-code where possible, custom module only when necessary.
|
||
- A **verification log** proving each hero fired (real numbers).
|
||
- Three **self-contained HTML docs** (brand-themed): run-of-show, one-pager, 1-page script.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
```bash
|
||
# clone into your Claude Code skills folder
|
||
git clone https://github.com/Smetools/odoo-demo-architect ~/.claude/skills/odoo-demo-architect
|
||
```
|
||
Or drop the folder anywhere Claude Code loads skills. Then just ask Claude: *"build an Odoo demo for <client> from this discovery call."*
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
- Claude Code.
|
||
- A reachable Odoo instance + an **API key** (Settings → My Profile → Account Security → New API Key).
|
||
- On **Odoo.sh**: create the project and enter any partner trial code first (web-only), then come back with the DB URL + API key.
|
||
- Optional but recommended: the **Perplexity MCP** (for the native-vs-custom research step). Web search works too.
|
||
|
||
## Quickstart
|
||
1. Put your Odoo creds in env vars (or `scripts/creds.json`):
|
||
`ODOO_URL`, `ODOO_DB`, `ODOO_LOGIN`, `ODOO_KEY`.
|
||
2. Verify the connection: `python scripts/odoo_connect.py` → prints `server_version`.
|
||
3. Copy `demo_config.example.json` → `scripts/demo_config.json`, fill it from the discovery call.
|
||
4. Ask Claude to run the pipeline (see `SKILL.md`), or run `python scripts/build_demo.py` for the data layer, then let the agent build + test the heroes and generate the docs.
|
||
|
||
## How it works (pipeline)
|
||
1. **Mine the discovery** — pains in the client's words; the 1–2 heroes.
|
||
2. **Research native-vs-custom** for each hero, for the client's exact Odoo version.
|
||
3. **Connect** over XML-RPC; confirm the version.
|
||
4. **Install** the scope's modules.
|
||
5. **Load realistic data** (idempotent; currency before invoices; pre-stage so heroes fire live).
|
||
6. **Build heroes** — no-code first, custom module as fallback.
|
||
7. **Test every hero** on a throwaway record; keep demo objects pristine.
|
||
8. **Generate the docs** from the brand templates.
|
||
9. **Hand off** — login, cheat-sheet, verification log, doc links.
|
||
|
||
Full procedure in [`SKILL.md`](SKILL.md).
|
||
|
||
## Read this before touching Odoo 19
|
||
Several core fields were renamed in v19 (`res.users.group_ids`, `res.groups` lost `category_id`, etc.), credit limit is **warning-only** natively, and fleet load-by-weight needs `stock_fleet`. All the footguns are in [`reference/odoo19-field-gotchas.md`](reference/odoo19-field-gotchas.md) so you don't relearn them the hard way.
|
||
|
||
## Files
|
||
```
|
||
SKILL.md the procedure (what the agent follows)
|
||
scripts/odoo_connect.py XML-RPC connector + helpers
|
||
scripts/build_demo.py config-driven data + hero builder (template)
|
||
demo_config.example.json per-client config shape
|
||
reference/odoo19-field-gotchas.md version-specific fields + footguns
|
||
templates/ brand.css + the three doc templates
|
||
