At a glance

Full CRUD for Notion pages, databases, and blocks. An agent skill from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot.

  • SKILL.md covers Setup, API Basics, Common Operations and Property Types, plus 1 more section
  • Calls curl; reaches api.notion.com; needs NOTION_KEY

What it does

Better Notion is an agent skill from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. Full CRUD for Notion pages, databases, and blocks. Create, read, update, delete, search, and query.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `_meta.json`).

It works with Notion. The repository describes itself as: One agent. Every kind of work. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/better-notion”

Requirements

  • A credential in NOTION_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b50970c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.notion.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • NOTION_KEY

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

Context cost

Better Notion loads about 614 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 87 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~614

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.
