Skill Development Guidelines

Structure

Every skill must follow this structure:

skill-name/
├── SKILL.md           # Main skill file (<500 lines)
└── references/
    ├── methods.md     # Detailed method documentation
    ├── examples.md    # Working code examples
    └── anti-patterns.md  # Common mistakes to avoid

SKILL.md Requirements

  • Must be in skill folder root (not in subdirectory)
  • Maximum 500 lines
  • Must include YAML frontmatter with name, description, version
  • English language only
  • Only verified facts from official Frappe documentation

Content Standards

DO:

  • Verify all code against official docs.frappe.io
  • Include version-specific information (v14/v15/v16)
  • Provide working examples tested in actual ERPNext
  • Document anti-patterns with explanations

DON'T:

  • Make assumptions about API behavior
  • Copy from outdated community posts
  • Use imports in Server Script examples (sandbox restriction)

Critical Technical Note

Server Scripts run in a RestrictedPython sandbox. Never use imports:

# ❌ WRONG - Will fail
from frappe.utils import nowdate

# ✅ CORRECT - Use namespace
date = frappe.utils.nowdate()

Testing

Before submitting:

  1. Validate SKILL.md format:

    python tools/quick_validate.py skills/source/your-skill/

  2. Check line count:

    wc -l skills/source/your-skill/SKILL.md  # Must be <500

  3. Verify all code examples work in ERPNext
