AI Code Search Tools

Explore Odoo Source Code with AI-Powered Search

Overview

Give your Odoo AI Agent the power to search and read addon source code — like having Claude Code built into Odoo.

This module extends Odoo 19's standard AI Agent functionality with two powerful code exploration tools. Search across all installed addons using regex patterns, filter by module or file type, and read source files with line numbers and pagination.

Whether you're debugging an issue, learning how a feature works, or exploring implementation patterns — simply ask your AI agent and let it find the relevant code for you.

Includes a pre-configured "Code Analysis" topic with both tools ready to use, plus high-performance ripgrep integration with Python fallback for universal compatibility.

How It Works

1
Add Topic to Agent

Add the "Code Analysis" topic to your AI Agent configuration

2
Ask a Question

Ask about implementations, patterns, or specific code in natural language

3
AI Searches Code

The agent searches across all addons using regex and reads relevant files

4
Get Code Insights

Receive explanations with code snippets, file paths, and line numbers

Pre-Configured Code Analysis Topic

A new "Code Analysis" topic is automatically available after installation

Topic Instructions
  • Concise workflow guidance for the AI agent
  • Discovery, examination, and response steps
  • Pagination handling for large result sets
  • Error handling suggestions
Included Tools
  • AI: Search Addon Code — regex search across addons
  • AI: Read Addon File — read source with line numbers
  • Both tools include detailed AI schemas
  • Ready to use out of the box

Search Addon Code Tool

Powerful regex search with multiple output modes and filtering options

Search Addon Code server action

Search Parameters
  • pattern: Regex pattern to search for
  • module: Limit to specific addon
  • file_pattern: Filter by file type (*.py, *.xml)
  • case_sensitive: Toggle case sensitivity
Output Modes
  • files_with_matches: Fast file path discovery
  • content: See matching lines with context
  • count: Match counts grouped by module
  • Pagination with offset/limit for large results

Read Addon File Tool

Read source code with line numbers and pagination support

Read Addon File server action

Read Parameters
  • file_path: Relative path from search results
  • offset: Start line (1-indexed)
  • limit: Number of lines to read
Security Features
  • Path validation prevents directory traversal
  • Whitelist of allowed file extensions
  • Read-only access to addon paths only

Easy Agent Configuration

Simply add the Code Analysis topic to your AI Agent

Configuration Steps
  1. Open your AI Agent configuration (or create a new one)
  2. In the Topics section, add "Code Analysis"
  3. Save the agent — the code search tools are now available
  4. Start a conversation and ask about Odoo source code

Natural Language Code Exploration

Ask questions about Odoo code in plain English

AI chat showing code search questions and responses

Ask AI chat with code search questions and detailed responses

"How does the sale order confirmation work?"

"Find all models that inherit from product.template"

"Show me the create method in stock.move"

"What fields does res.partner have?"

"Find XML views that use the kanban view type"

"How is the invoice PDF generated?"

Key Features

High Performance

Uses ripgrep for blazing-fast searches when available. Automatic fallback to Python for universal compatibility.

Regex Powered

Full regex support for precise pattern matching. Find class definitions, method signatures, field declarations, and more.

Flexible Filtering

Filter by module, file type, or glob pattern. Search only Python, XML, JavaScript, or any combination.

Line Numbers

Results include line numbers for easy reference. Jump to exact locations in the source code.

Pagination Support

Handle large result sets with offset and limit. Read files in chunks for memory efficiency.

Secure by Design

Read-only access with path validation. File extension whitelist prevents access to sensitive files.

Use Cases

Debugging

Quickly find where a field is defined, how a method is implemented, or trace through the call stack of a complex operation.

Learning Odoo

Explore how core modules implement features. Learn patterns and best practices from the source.

Extending Modules

Find the right methods to override or extend. Understand inheritance chains and dependencies.

Code Review

Search for patterns, anti-patterns, or specific implementations across your entire addon ecosystem.

Documentation

Ask the AI to explain complex code sections. Get contextual documentation generated from source.

Architecture Analysis

Explore model relationships, understand module dependencies, and map out system architecture.

Supported File Types

Search and read across all common Odoo development file types

AI Code Search Tools

Overview

This module extends Odoo's AI Agent with tools to search and read addon source code.

Features

  • Code Search: Regex-powered search across all installed addons
  • Code Read: Read source files with line numbers and pagination
  • Pre-configured Topic: "Code Analysis" topic ready to use
  • High Performance: Uses ripgrep when available, Python fallback otherwise
  • Secure: Path validation, file extension whitelist, read-only access

Installation

Install the module from the Odoo Apps menu. No additional configuration required.

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install ripgrep

macOS (Homebrew):

brew install ripgrep

Windows (Chocolatey):

choco install ripgrep

Windows (Scoop):

scoop install ripgrep

If ripgrep is not installed, the module falls back to Python-based search.
