TRIGGER: User invokes /new-odoo-project to scaffold a new Odoo website builder project.

---

Prerequisites

Before running this skill, ensure the following are in place:

1. Python 3.8+ installed and available as python3
2. Python packages — install from the bundled requirements file:

   pip install -r {skill_dir}/templates/requirements.txt
   

   This installs requests and python-dotenv, the only third-party dependencies.
3. An Odoo instance with admin or API access (URL, database name, and login email)
4. Claude Code — this skill is designed for Claude Code's skill system

Step 1 — Gather technical information (ask all at once)

Ask the user for the following in a single message. Do not proceed until you have answers:

1. Project parent directory — the folder where the project subdirectory should be created (e.g. ~/projects or ~/Odoo)
2. Client / project name — used for folder naming and memory. The project will be created at {parent_dir}/{slugified-client-name}/ (e.g. ~/Odoo/client-acme/)
3. Odoo URL — e.g. https://mysite.odoo.com
4. Odoo DB name — e.g. mysite-main-12345
5. Odoo login email
6. Is this a production-only server, or is there a separate staging instance?
   • If staging + production: collect both URLs and DB names (but NOT passwords)
   • If production only: note that changes go live immediately — extra caution required
7. GitHub repo linked to the Odoo.sh project — e.g. https://github.com/org/repo. This is the repository Odoo.sh watches for deployments. Custom modules are added here as submodules. If the project is not hosted on Odoo.sh, answer "N/A".

Do NOT ask for any passwords. Tell the user: "I'll leave the password fields blank in .env — fill those in yourself before running any tools."
