knowledge-capture — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Converts chat discussions and technical findings into formatted Notion wiki pages or databases. It helps document decisions directly from your coding session.
npx skills add makenotion/cursor-notion-plugin --skill knowledge-capture -a claude-codeWhat knowledge-capture does
This skill reviews your conversation history to pull out actionable insights, architectural choices, and technical instructions. It matches the material to standardized documentation formats, including concepts, step-by-step guides, decision records, FAQs, and incident reviews.
The assistant uses Notion search to discover the right parent page or database, writes the entry, and attaches relevant tags. It then updates hub pages and navigation indexes so team members can find the new write-up.
Creating and updating documents in your workspace strictly depends on an active Notion MCP server.
What it helps with
- document architectural decisions from chat into a Notion decision log
- generate a step-by-step how-to guide from a debugging session
- compile a troubleshooting FAQ from resolved issues
- record post-incident learnings with action items in a team wiki
Example prompts for the agent
- Turn our debugging process into a troubleshooting how-to page in Notion.
- Save the database migration decision from this chat into our Notion decision log.
