Base Code Reference (Odoo 20)

Use the local Odoo source when $ODOO_SOURCE is available. Otherwise verify version-sensitive examples against the official Odoo 20 source and documentation before applying them to a module. Existing project conventions and the target checkout take precedence over this reference pack.

The guide taxonomy follows these Odoo 20 source areas:

• odoo/models.py - ORM implementation
• odoo/fields.py - Field types
• odoo/api.py - Decorators
• odoo/http.py - HTTP layer
• odoo/exceptions.py - Exception types
• odoo/tools/translate.py - Translation system
• odoo/addons/base/models/res_lang.py - Language model
• addons/web/static/src/core/l10n/translation.js - JS translations

For website and portal work, also compose this skill with odoo-website, odoo-web-security, and odoo-web-testing.
