What it does

Notion is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Work with Notion: search pages, read page properties, query databases, create pages, append blocks, update page properties. Trigger phrases: notion, notion page, notion database.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/notion.py`).

It works with Notion. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: notion
  • Notion database

Example prompts

  • “/notion”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Reads need no confirmation. Every write (page-create, block-append, page-update) requires the exact-match --confirm string: run the…
  2. Notion rate-limits to ~3 requests/second; if a call returns 429, wait the Retry-After seconds and continue.
  3. Pages and databases must be explicitly shared with the integration inside Notion, or they will not appear in search results and writes to…
  4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/notion.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Notion loads about 903 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 299 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~903

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Notion

Purpose

Work with the user's Notion workspace: search pages and databases, read page properties, query databases, and write: create pages, append blocks to a page, and update page properties. Use when the user mentions Notion or wants something looked up or recorded in their Notion.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/notion.py:

bash
bin/notion.py auth                              # verify the connection (search with page_size 1)
bin/notion.py search --query "roadmap"           # search pages and databases
bin/notion.py page --id PAGE_ID                  # read a page's properties
bin/notion.py query-db --id DATABASE_ID          # query a database (first 20 rows)

# writes: every one requires the exact --confirm string the CLI prints
bin/notion.py page-create --parent-id PAGE_ID --properties '{"title":{"title":[{"text":{"content":"My note"}}]}}'
bin/notion.py page-create --parent-id DB_ID --parent-type database --properties '{"Name":{"title":[{"text":{"content":"New row"}}]}}'
bin/notion.py block-append --block-id PAGE_ID --blocks '[{"object":"block","type":"paragraph","paragraph":{"rich_text":[{"type":"text","text":{"content":"Hello"}}]}}}]'
bin/notion.py page-update --id PAGE_ID --properties '{"Status":{"status":{"name":"Done"}}}'

IDs are the 32-hex-character Notion IDs (with or without dashes). --properties uses the Notion API property object format (e.g. {"title": {"title": [...]}}), not flattened values.

Auth

  • Provider id: notion (credential is collected as custom.notion)
  • Collection: Notion internal integration token via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); create one at notion.so/my-integrations → New integration → copy the "Internal Integration Secret", then share the pages/databases you need with that integration inside Notion
  • Required scopes: n/a (integration capabilities are set at notion.so/my-integrations)
  • Allowed hosts: api.notion.com
  • Status check: bin/notion.py auth (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

  1. Reads need no confirmation. Every write (page-create, block-append, page-update) requires the exact-match --confirm string: run the command once without it, read the refused string from the output, confirm the effect with the user, then re-run with it.
  2. Notion rate-limits to ~3 requests/second; if a call returns 429, wait the Retry-After seconds and continue.
  3. Pages and databases must be explicitly shared with the integration inside Notion, or they will not appear in search results and writes to them will fail: if a known page is missing, tell the user to share it with the integration.
  4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/notion.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.

Maturity

🧪 Draft: written from Notion's public API docs; not yet live-tested end-to-end. The write endpoints (page-create, block-append, page-update) are doc-built only: paths and bodies follow the public docs but have never been run against a real workspace.
