What does the Odoo QWeb Templates skill generate?

It generates correct, well-structured QWeb XML templates paired with ir.actions.report records for Odoo PDF reports, email templates, and website pages. It can also identify and fix rendering issues in broken templates.

What are the main differences between t-out and t-esc in QWeb?

t-out (Odoo 15+) safely outputs non-field strings as HTML, while t-esc (Odoo 14 and below) HTML-escapes output, converting tags into raw text. Use t-out for intended HTML rendering and t-esc when you need to escape HTML characters.

What does the skill NOT cover?

It does not cover website controller routing for dynamic QWeb pages, email-template variable scope differences (object vs. docs), QWeb JavaScript for Kanban/Form widgets (client-side engine), or wkhtmltopdf configuration issues like page size and margins.

How do I use this skill to create a PDF report?

Mention @odoo-qweb-templates and describe the report you need. The skill will provide a complete ir.actions.report record (with report_type qweb-pdf and binding_model_id) paired with a QWeb template that includes proper directives like t-foreach, t-field, and web.external_layout for headers and footers.

What anti-patterns does this skill help avoid?

It avoids raw Python expressions inside QWeb (compute values in the model or _get_report_values() instead), omitting t-as on t-foreach (which breaks record access), and using t-esc where HTML rendering is intended.
