Frappe Router

Route to the appropriate Frappe skill based on your task.

When to use

First step when starting any Frappe-related work
To determine which specialized skill applies to your task

Procedure

0) Identify task type

Task	Skill
Understand project structure, versions, apps	→ `frappe-project-triage`
Scaffold new app, hooks, architecture, background jobs	→ `frappe-app-development`
Create/modify DocTypes, fields, controllers	→ `frappe-doctype-development`
Build REST/RPC APIs, webhooks, integrations	→ `frappe-api-development`
Customize Desk UI, form scripts, list views, JS API	→ `frappe-desk-customization`
Build Vue 3 frontends with Frappe UI, portals	→ `frappe-frontend-development`
UI/UX patterns from CRM/Helpdesk/HRMS	→ `frappe-ui-patterns`
Create print formats, email templates, Jinja, PDFs	→ `frappe-printing-templates`
Build reports (Builder, Query, Script)	→ `frappe-reports`
Create public web forms for data collection	→ `frappe-web-forms`
Write or run tests	→ `frappe-testing`
Set up dev environment with Docker/FM	→ `frappe-manager`
Build CRM/Helpdesk/enterprise systems	→ `frappe-enterprise-patterns`

1) Run triage first (recommended)

Before deep work, run frappe-project-triage to understand:

Project type (bench/FM/standalone)
Frappe version
Installed apps
Available tooling

2) Combine skills as needed

Complex tasks may require multiple skills:

New app = frappe-app-development + frappe-doctype-development + frappe-api-development + frappe-testing
Feature with UI = frappe-doctype-development + frappe-desk-customization + frappe-api-development
Custom frontend = frappe-frontend-development + frappe-api-development
Document workflow = frappe-doctype-development + frappe-printing-templates + frappe-reports
Enterprise app = frappe-enterprise-patterns + frappe-doctype-development

Quick decision tree

Is this about understanding the project?
  → frappe-project-triage

Is this about creating a new app or app architecture?
  → frappe-app-development

Is this about data models or DocTypes?
  → frappe-doctype-development

Is this about APIs or external access?
  → frappe-api-development

Is this about Desk UI, form scripts, or client-side JS?
  → frappe-desk-customization

Is this about a Vue 3 frontend or portal?
  → frappe-frontend-development

Is this about UI/UX patterns or app design?
  → frappe-ui-patterns

Is this about print formats, PDFs, or Jinja templates?
  → frappe-printing-templates

Is this about reports or data analysis views?
  → frappe-reports

Is this about public web forms?
  → frappe-web-forms

Is this about testing?
  → frappe-testing

Is this about local dev environment?
  → frappe-manager

Is this a complex enterprise system?
  → frappe-enterprise-patterns

Guardrails

Always run triage first before making code changes to unknown projects
Check Frappe version before recommending features (API availability varies significantly between v13, v14, v15, v16)
Don't assume ERPNext - many projects use Frappe Framework without ERPNext
Verify site context - commands like bench migrate affect specific sites

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Why It Fails	Fix
Skipping project triage	Applying wrong patterns for version	Always run triage first
Using ERPNext-specific code in Frappe-only projects	Module not found errors	Check installed apps first
Wrong skill for task	Incomplete implementation	Match task type to skill carefully
Ignoring version differences	Deprecated/missing APIs	Check version compatibility in skill references
Working on wrong site	Changes don't appear	Always specify `--site` flag
Using vanilla JS/jQuery for frontends	Ecosystem mismatch	Use Frappe UI (Vue 3) via `frappe-frontend-development`
Custom app shell for CRUD apps	Inconsistent UX	Follow CRM/Helpdesk patterns via `frappe-enterprise-patterns`
