odoo-readme-bot 1.2.2

Automatic README documentation bot for Odoo custom modules

odoo-readme-bot

Automatically detects outdated README files in Odoo custom module repositories and regenerates them using the Claude API. Designed to run as a scheduled GitLab CI job (once per day) on client repositories managed by Jarsa.

Features

• SHA-based tracking — only processes modules that changed since the last documented commit
• Two-model cost optimization — Claude Haiku decides if update is needed, Claude Sonnet generates
• Bilingual output — technical English + functional Spanish per module
• CI-friendly — exit code 42 when READMEs were updated, enabling downstream steps
• Dry-run mode — analyze without writing files or pushing

Installation

pip install odoo-readme-bot

Usage

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

# From any Odoo client repo root:

# Dry run (no writes, no git ops):
