FAQ

What is Claudioo?

Claudioo is an AI assistant built for working with Odoo. It can explore code, answer questions, connect to live instances, and run structured workflows — all through a conversational interface. It's built on Anthropic's Claude and designed specifically for much.'s Odoo projects.

Can I use Claudioo without a GitHub repository?

Yes. Without a linked repo, your workspace is empty, but you can still:

• Ask questions about Odoo internals (Claudioo has access to base Odoo source code)
• Connect to live instances via /remote-ops
• Run project management skills like /jf-prepare or /check-timesheets

See Projects for more details on working with and without a repository.

What happens when my conversation gets long?

Claudioo automatically summarizes older parts of long conversations to make room for new ones — key decisions and context are preserved, but some details may be lost. That's why we recommend keeping sessions focused on one task. See One topic per session.

What can Claudioo access?

• Your project workspace — read and write
• Odoo source code — read-only
• Live instances — only via SSH with keys you've explicitly configured
• muchdoo — only with the API key you set up
• Slack — only the channels and DMs your account can see, read-only

It can't reach system files, install software, push to your repo, or post on Slack. See Safety and privacy for the full picture.

Can Claudioo push code to my repository?

Not yet. Claudioo can create local commits in your workspace, but it cannot push to remote repositories for now. Your code stays safely in the workspace until you review and push it yourself.

How do skills work?

Skills are pre-built workflows you invoke by typing /skill-name in the chat. Each skill guides Claudioo through a structured process — asking you questions, gathering data, and delivering formatted results. See the skill catalog for what's available.

What are agents?

When Claudioo runs a complex task, it sometimes brings in a specialist agent to handle one piece of the work — like searching code, querying a database, or analyzing timesheets. The agent does its part and reports back a summary. You see it as a card in the conversation. Claudioo spawns them automatically when something is complex enough to need one — and you can also ask for one explicitly when you want a parallel investigation, a deep dive, or a fresh second opinion.

Can I create my own skills or slash commands?

Not from the web interface. The skill catalog is set up by the team running Claudioo for your organization, and there's no in-app way to add a permanent /command of your own.

If you want a new skill and you think it could be useful to others, draft what it should do in a session — Claudioo can help you write a clean spec — and post it in #i-claudioo on much. Consulting's Slack. Start a discussion in the thread so others can weigh in, refine the idea, or flag overlap with existing skills before it gets built. Once it ships, it will appear in your skills list like any other.

If it's just for you, save it as a note in your workspace and paste it into future sessions — no need to spin up a shared skill.

Can I give Claudioo project-specific instructions?

Yes. Each project has a Custom Instructions field where you can add context that Claudioo receives at the start of every session. Use it for naming conventions, important modules, or anything you'd otherwise repeat every time. See Projects.

What Odoo versions does Claudioo support?

Claudioo has base source code for Odoo 16, 17, 18, and 19 (both community and enterprise). Select your version when setting up a project, and Claudioo will reference the right source code.

Something isn't working. What should I do?

• Claudioo seems confused — Start a fresh session. Long conversations can lead to summarization where details are lost.
• A skill isn't available — Make sure you're typing the exact skill name with the / prefix. Check the skill catalog.
• Live instance access fails — Verify your SSH key is configured in Settings and authorized on the server's hosting platform. See Connect to Odoo instances.
• Files aren't found — Check that your project has a linked GitHub repo and the correct branch selected. See Projects.
