## What it does

This workflow instructs the coding assistant to parse task requests into structured fields: title, due date, status, assignee, and related project. It scans Notion for an appropriate task tracking table based on title and description cues.

Ambiguity halts execution early. Whenever multiple target databases turn up or crucial properties are missing, the agent asks a short clarifying question instead of writing records blindly. The skill relies entirely on an active Notion MCP server connection; without that integration configured, database operations will fail.

Once the row is appended, the skill outputs a summary containing the title, linked attributes, and a direct URL or ID.

## Requirements
- Works with: Notion

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add makenotion/cursor-notion-plugin --skill create-task -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add makenotion/cursor-notion-plugin --skill create-task -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add makenotion/cursor-notion-plugin --skill create-task -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install makenotion/cursor-notion-plugin create-task

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/makenotion/cursor-notion-plugin --path skills/create-task
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add makenotion/cursor-notion-plugin --skill create-task -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/makenotion/cursor-notion-plugin/tree/HEAD/skills/create-task/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- file Notion tasks directly from terminal coding sessions
- map due dates, statuses, and assignees to database fields automatically
- disambiguate multiple project boards before logging tasks

## Example prompts
- Add a Notion task to draft release notes before tomorrow afternoon
- Create a high-priority bug task for payment checkout assigned to me under the Core project
