What it does

Notion Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Classify Notion API failures and choose a bounded recovery path from the observed status and error code. Use when handling authentication, permission, validation, conflict, limit, or service errors. Trigger with "fix Notion error", "classify Notion 403", or "handle Notion 429".

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live Notion actions require network access and explicit approval

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication. It works with Notion. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Handling authentication
  • With fix Notion error
  • Classify Notion 403
  • Handle Notion 429

Example prompts

  • “fix Notion error”
  • “classify Notion 403”
  • “handle Notion 429”
  • “/notion-common-errors”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live Notion actions require network access and explicit approval
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Capture one redacted response envelope and the originating operation.
  2. Map the status and structured code to authentication, authorization, validation, identity, concurrency, limit, or service class.
  3. Check selected API version and page/database/data-source identity before changing code.
  4. Apply the class-specific action: correct input, restore access, wait as instructed, reconcile conflict, or pause for service recovery.
  5. Retry only retryable classes with a strict attempt and time budget.
  6. Verify recovery with the least-privilege read or fixture that proves the original fault is gone.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live Notion actions require network access and explicit approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Notion Common Errors loads about 979 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 413 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~979
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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 Error Classification and Recovery

Overview

Classify Notion API failures and choose a bounded recovery path from the observed status and error code.. This workflow produces an auditable decision or artifact before any live action.

Prerequisites

  • Current first-party Notion documentation and the selected integration's tested API-version contract.
  • A named workspace owner, content or data owner, and operation owner.
  • Synthetic or approved non-production fixtures with secrets and workspace content removed.

Current Contract

The response status, structured code, message, request identifier, and Retry-After header are evidence. Recovery differs for invalid credentials, restricted resources, wrong IDs, invalid payloads, conflicts, rate limits, and service faults. Recheck the dated evidence map before relying on mutable fields, endpoints, versions, limits, or delivery behavior.

Authentication

Verify token presence through a fingerprint or secret-manager reference. Check connection capabilities and content sharing separately from identity.

Instructions

  1. Capture one redacted response envelope and the originating operation.
  2. Map the status and structured code to authentication, authorization, validation, identity, concurrency, limit, or service class.
  3. Check selected API version and page/database/data-source identity before changing code.
  4. Apply the class-specific action: correct input, restore access, wait as instructed, reconcile conflict, or pause for service recovery.
  5. Retry only retryable classes with a strict attempt and time budget.
  6. Verify recovery with the least-privilege read or fixture that proves the original fault is gone.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect documentation, configuration, code, fixtures, and evidence. Use Write and Edit only for approved repository artifacts. Invocation alone does not authorize network access, credentials, workspace content, user data, file transfer, deployment, capability or sharing changes, writes, spend, or deletion.

Show full SKILL.md (144 more words)Show less

Approval Boundaries

Require approval before capability changes, content sharing, token rotation, write replay, bulk retry, or support disclosure.

Error Handling

  • Do not treat every 404 as absence; inaccessible content can be indistinguishable from a bad identifier.
  • Respect Retry-After instead of a fixed sleep.
  • Quarantine unknown codes rather than guessing.

Output

Return the observed evidence, class, likely causes, ruled-out causes, recovery action, retry budget, and verification result. Identify assumptions, owners, expirations, and evidence gaps explicitly.

Examples

  • Differentiate a wrong data-source ID from missing page sharing.
  • Pause a write queue on repeated conflicts instead of duplicating pages.

Validation

Exercise and record these paths with expected and observed results:

  • all documented classes
  • unknown code
  • Retry-After
  • wrong object type
  • revoked token
  • service recovery

Resources

  • Current first-party evidence map — recheck dated sources before relying on mutable behavior.
  • Treat observed tenant behavior as environment-specific evidence, never a universal Notion guarantee.
