What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by dkm0315/frappe-agent in skills/frappe-backend/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Treat Frappe backend work as a Python-first system with important JavaScript touchpoints.

Cover:

  • controllers and document lifecycle methods
  • hooks
  • whitelisted methods
  • scheduler jobs and background work
  • patches and migrations
  • server scripts when they are the right layer
  • report backends
  • client-to-server API contracts

Principles:

  • prefer framework APIs over ad hoc patterns
  • keep imports clean and explicit
  • use permissions deliberately
  • separate document logic, service logic, and integration logic
  • avoid accidental public APIs

Before writing code, decide whether the request should instead be handled by:

  • Custom Field
  • Property Setter
  • Client Script
  • Server Script
  • Workflow
  • Report
  • Workspace
