notion-docs

notion-docs is a skill for Codex from PracticalSwan/agent-skills. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,246 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to managing Notion workspaces through the Notion API, including pages, databases, comments, and knowledge bases. Notion is a collaborative workspace for documents and structured project information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update Notion pages, build project trackers, organize wikis and specifications, add review comments, and manage database-backed documentation.
Why use it?
It helps keep specifications, project records, and engineering knowledge organized in Notion instead of scattered across separate files and tools.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

notion-docs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/notion-templates.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Notion Documentation

Tech Stack Target / Version: Notion API current version, Markdown-to-Notion transforms, and local template scripts.

Use this skill when Notion is the system of record for specs, runbooks, project tracking, or knowledge management.

  • Leverage native parallel subagent dispatch and 200k+ context windows where available.

Current MCP Reality

As of March 2026, Notion documents two supported ways to use its MCP server:

  • Hosted remote MCP endpoint: https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
  • Local stdio server package: @notionhq/notion-mcp-server

Hosted mode uses OAuth. Local mode uses an internal integration token. Official docs also list supported tools for searching content, reading pages, comments, users, and working with pages and databases.

Activation Conditions

Use symptom -> action triggers: when one matches, apply this skill and verify with the protocol below.

  • Creating or updating Notion pages
  • Building project trackers or engineering knowledge bases
  • Organizing specs, ADRs, and onboarding docs in Notion
  • Adding review comments or using database-backed workflows

Practical Workflow

  1. Confirm whether the client exposes the hosted Notion MCP server or a local stdio connection.
  2. Read or search existing pages before creating duplicates.
  3. Use databases for tracked work and pages for long-form documents.
  4. Keep properties simple: owner, status, last reviewed, tags.
  5. If MCP is unavailable in the current client, fall back to local content prep using the included script and templates.

Operational Notes

  • Official Notion guidance currently documents an average rate limit of 20 requests per second for integrations.
  • Tool names can vary slightly by MCP host, but the supported capabilities are stable: search, fetch page content, create or update pages, create or update databases, manage comments, and read user context.

Documentation Stack Reference

Inherit the shared stack from documentation-patterns: source-of-truth discovery, audience framing, structure selection, verification, and freshness checks. Keep this skill focused on Notion conversion and workspace behavior instead of restating the full stack.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
