Notion

This skill lets the agent work with Notion pages and databases using the official Notion API.

The skill is declarative: it documents safe, recommended operations and assumes a local CLI (

notion-cli

) that actually performs API calls.

Authentication

• Create a Notion Integration at https://www.notion.so/my-integrations
• Copy the Internal Integration Token.
• Export it as:

export NOTION_API_KEY=secret_xxx

Share the integration with the pages or databases you want to access. Unshared content is invisible to the API.

Profiles (personal / work)

You may define multiple profiles (e.g. personal, work) via env or config.

Default profile: personal

Override via:

export NOTION_PROFILE=work

Pages

Read page:

notion-cli page get <page_id>

Append blocks:

notion-cli block append <page_id> --markdown "..."

Prefer appending over rewriting content.

Create page:

notion-cli page create --parent <page_id> --title "..."

Databases

Inspect schema:

notion-cli db get <database_id>

Query database:

notion-cli db query <database_id> --filter <json> --sort <json>

Create row:

notion-cli page create --database <database_id> --props <json>

Update row:

notion-cli page update <page_id> --props <json>

Schema changes (advanced)

Always inspect diffs before applying schema changes.

Never modify database schema without explicit confirmation.

Recommended flow:

notion-cli db schema diff <database_id> --desired <json>
notion-cli db schema apply <database_id> --desired <json>

Safety notes

• Notion API is rate-limited; batch carefully.
• Prefer append and updates over destructive operations.
• IDs are opaque; store them explicitly, do not infer from URLs.
