# Odoo Migration Helper ## Overview Migrating Odoo modules between major versions requires careful handling of API changes, deprecated methods, renamed fields, and new view syntax. This skill guides you through the migration process systematically, covering the most common breaking changes between versions. ## When to Use This Skill - Upgrading a custom module from Odoo 14/15/16 to a newer version. - Getting a checklist of things to check before running `odoo-upgrade`. - Fixing deprecation warnings after a version upgrade. - Understanding what changed between two specific Odoo versions. ## How It Works 1. **Activate**: Mention `@odoo-migration-helper`, specify your source and target versions, and paste your module code. 2. **Analyze**: Receive a list of breaking changes with before/after code fixes. 3. **Validate**: Get a migration checklist specific to your module's features. ## Key Migration Changes by Version ### Odoo 16 → 17 | Topic | Old (v16) | New (v17) | |---|---|---| | View visibility | `attrs="{'invisible': [...]}"` | `invisible="condition"` | | Chatter | `<div class="oe_chatter">` | `<chatter/>` | | Required/Readonly | `attrs="{'required': [...]}"` | `required="condition

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
