What connections does

The skill guides the agent in setting up typed provider connections and triggers for Notion App workflows. It enforces reading SDK documentation before changing any connection logic.

Before writing, editing, or debugging connection code, the agent must inspect node_modules/@notionhq/apps/skills/connections/SKILL.md from the project root. Without @notionhq/apps installed, the skill blocks further modifications.

If that file is missing, install the project dependencies. Updating @notionhq/apps to a release with this skill also solves the issue.

What it helps with

  • set up typed provider connections for Notion App workflows
  • add triggers bound to specific connections
  • troubleshoot connection logic using SDK instructions
  • verify connection guidelines before editing code

Example prompts for the agent

  • Configure a typed provider connection for this Notion App workflow
  • Add a connection-bound trigger to the Notion App project
  • Troubleshoot connection code following @notionhq/apps guidelines

Before creating, modifying, or troubleshooting connection code, read
`node_modules/@notionhq/apps/skills/connections/SKILL.md`.
Resolve this path relative to the App project root.
Follow the instructions in that file.

If the file is missing, install the project dependencies.
If it remains missing, update `@notionhq/apps` to a release that includes the skill.
Do not continue with connection changes until you can read the SDK skill.
