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 

Append blocks:

notion-cli block append  --markdown "..."

Prefer appending over rewriting content.

Create page:

notion-cli page create --parent  --title "..."

Databases

Inspect schema:

notion-cli db get 

Query database:

notion-cli db query  --filter  --sort 

Create row:

notion-cli page create --database  --props 

Update row:

notion-cli page update  --props 

Schema changes (advanced)

Always inspect diffs before applying schema changes.

Never modify database schema without explicit confirmation.

Recommended flow:

notion-cli db schema diff  --desired 
notion-cli db schema apply  --desired 

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.
