Frappe Skills

Frappe Skills

Frappe Framework Structured knowledge for AI coding assistants—DocTypes, APIs, testing, and best practices.

[!NOTE] _**AI Authorship Disclosure:**_ Drafted with GPT-5.3 Codex from official documentation, then reviewed, refined, and validated by humans. Tested with AI assistants and improved through practical iteration.

Why Frappe Agent Skills?

AI coding assistants are powerful, but they often:

• Generate outdated Frappe patterns (pre-v13, pre-Query Builder)
• Miss critical permission checks in API handlers
• Skip proper DocType controller patterns
• Ignore existing tooling in your project

These Agent Skills solve this by giving AI assistants deep framework knowledge in a structured format they can use.
