61 deterministic skills enabling Claude AI to generate flawless Frappe/ERPNext code.
Covers ~95% of the Frappe Framework surface area across 7 categories.
Built on the Agent Skills open standard.
🎯 Why This Exists
Claude is powerful, but without domain-specific guidance it generates Frappe/ERPNext code that looks correct but fails in production.
The #1 cause of AI-generated Frappe failures:
# ❌ WRONG - This fails silently in Server Scripts
from frappe.utils import nowdate
today = nowdate()
# ✅ CORRECT - Server Scripts block all imports
today = frappe.utils.nowdate()This package encodes 61 hard-won lessons like this into deterministic skills that Claude follows automatically.
