# Idea Gates Validate the idea before designing or building it. Kill, narrow, or strengthen weak Odoo module/product ideas using evidence. Use this skill before implementing a new Odoo module, OCA addon, marketplace app, internal tool, or SaaS/product idea connected to an Odoo workflow. ## First Move Gather discoverable facts before asking: - Search the current repo for related addons, models, views, settings, wizards, server actions, cron jobs, integrations, and docs. - Check whether the idea is already solved by Odoo standard, Enterprise, Studio/configuration, an OCA addon, an Odoo Apps module, or an existing custom addon. - Detect the Odoo version, edition, industry, and target workflow if visible from branch names, manifests, docs, or config. - If `$ODOO_SOURCE` is set, inspect framework features before assuming a custom addon is needed. If evidence is missing, ask exactly one high-leverage question at a time. Include your recommended answer or likely disqualifier. ## Gate Workflow Apply gates in order. Stop early when an idea clearly fails unless the user asks to continue. | Gate | Pass Test | Kill Signal | |---|---|---| | 1. Insider advantage | User has firsthand workflow experience or direct access to users. | Idea came from marketplace browsing, generic interest, or guessed workflow details. | | 2. Existing solution search | Clear gap remains after checking Odoo standard, Enterprise, Studio/configuration, OCA, Odoo Apps, custom addons, and adjacent tools. | T
