What problem does it solve?

Implementing complex status workflows and state transition logic for Frappe DocTypes can be challenging, requiring careful validation and state-dependent actions. This Skill generates robust state machine logic to manage document lifecycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

• State Transition Logic: Generate Python code to define and validate allowed transitions between document states, preventing invalid status changes.
• State-Dependent Actions: Implement actions that trigger automatically when a document enters or exits a specific state (e.g., updating GL entries on submission).
• Workflow Integration: Seamlessly integrate with Frappe's validate, on_submit, and on_cancel hooks for comprehensive state management.
• Use Case: Generate state machine logic for a 'Project Task' DocType, ensuring that a task can only transition from 'Open' to 'In Progress', then to 'Completed' or 'On Hold', with specific actions at each stage.

Quick Start

Generate state transition logic for a 'Purchase Order' DocType, allowing it to move from 'Draft' to 'Pending Approval', then to 'Approved' or 'Rejected'.
