# c-notion

A skill that hands your agent a set of notion-cli commands for Notion pages, databases and blocks. Useful when edits should happen without opening the browser.

## What it does

The skill documents the `notion-cli` command set and tells the agent which calls to make. Pages get listed, searched by title or content, read, created with a title and parent, renamed, deleted, or appended to.

Databases are covered too: listing, querying entries with a filter such as `Status=Done`, sorting, adding a row through `--props "Name=Task,Status=In Progress"`, updating properties, reading the schema. Blocks follow the same pattern — list what sits on a page, append a paragraph or a todo, delete one by id.

You need a Notion integration token that can reach the pages in question. The skill expects it from `notion-cli auth` or the `NOTION_TOKEN` environment variable; without it the calls fail. Page and database ids live in the Notion URL after the workspace slug, so you copy them by hand.

## Requirements
- Works with: Notion

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-notion -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/c-notion/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/c-notion/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-notion -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/c-notion/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-notion -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/c-notion/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install daxaur/openpaw c-notion
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/c-notion/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-notion -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/daxaur/openpaw --path skills/c-notion
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/c-notion/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-notion -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/daxaur/openpaw/tree/HEAD/skills/c-notion/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- search for a page before creating a duplicate
- create a page under a specific parent
- pull only the database rows marked Done
- add a task row with Name and Status properties
- append a paragraph or todo to an existing page

## Example prompts
- Search Notion for onboarding pages and show me their ids
- Add a row to the tasks database with Name=Review and Status=In Progress
- List the blocks on page `<page-id>` and append a summary paragraph

description: Manage Notion pages and databases from the CLI using notion-cli. Create, read, search, and update pages. Query databases, add entries, and manage blocks and properties.
tags: [notion, pages, databases, notion-cli, productivity]
---

This skill manages Notion workspaces using the `notion-cli` tool.

## Pages

```bash
notion-cli page list                        # List recent pages
notion-cli page search "query"              # Search pages by title/content
notion-cli page get <page-id>              # Get page content
notion-cli page create --title "Title" --parent <page-id>
notion-cli page create --title "Title" --content "Body text"
notion-cli page update <page-id> --title "New Title"
notion-cli page delete <page-id>
notion-cli page append <page-id> "Additional content"
```

## Databases

```bash
notion-cli db list                          # List all databases
notion-cli db query <db-id>                # Query all entries
notion-cli db query <db-id> --filter "Status=Done"
notion-cli db query <db-id> --sort "Created" --desc
notion-cli db add <db-id> --props "Name=Task,Status=In Progress"
notion-cli db update <page-id> --props "Status=Done"
notion-cli db get <db-id>                  # Get database schema
```

## Blocks

```bash
notion-cli block list <page-id>            # List blocks in a page
notion-cli block append <page-id> --type "paragraph" --text "Hello"
notion-cli block append <page-id> --type "todo" --text "Task item"
notion-cli block delete <block-id>
```

## Usage Guidelines

- Use `notion-cli page search` to find pages before creating duplicates.
- Page and database IDs can be found in the Notion URL after the workspace slug.
- The `--props` flag uses `Key=Value` pairs separated by commas.
- Notion API token must be configured: `notion-cli auth` or via `NOTION_TOKEN` env var.

## Notes

- Requires a Notion integration token with appropriate permissions.
- If `notion-cli` is missing, suggest installing the OpenPaw c-notion skill.
