What it does

Notion Search Retrieve is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze search intent and retrieve explicitly shared Notion pages or data sources while respecting search limitations and object identity. Use when locating content before a scoped read. Trigger with "search Notion", "find Notion page", or "retrieve Notion content".

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Keyword research. 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

  • Locating content before a scoped read
  • With search Notion
  • Find Notion page
  • Retrieve Notion content

Example prompts

  • “search Notion”
  • “find Notion page”
  • “retrieve Notion content”
  • “/notion-search-retrieve”

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. Clarify whether the operator knows an exact ID, title fragment, database, or data-source identity.
  2. Prefer exact-ID retrieval when provenance exists; otherwise run a type-scoped paginated search.
  3. Record every page of candidates and disambiguate by object type, parent, and stable ID.
  4. Retrieve only approved metadata, properties, blocks, or markdown required by the task.
  5. Recursively traverse blocks only when requested and with depth, page, and byte bounds.
  6. Return completeness limits, access gaps, and the selected object's evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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 Search Retrieve loads about 958 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~958
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 Search and Retrieval Workflow

Overview

Analyze search intent and retrieve explicitly shared Notion pages or data sources while respecting search limitations and object identity.. 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

Current search returns shared pages and data sources, is title-oriented, paginated, and not guaranteed to reflect changes immediately. A specific structured dataset should be queried through its data-source endpoint instead. Recheck the dated evidence map before relying on mutable fields, endpoints, versions, limits, or delivery behavior.

Authentication

Use read capability and an approved shared-content scope. User fields and page bodies need separate minimization decisions.

Instructions

  1. Clarify whether the operator knows an exact ID, title fragment, database, or data-source identity.
  2. Prefer exact-ID retrieval when provenance exists; otherwise run a type-scoped paginated search.
  3. Record every page of candidates and disambiguate by object type, parent, and stable ID.
  4. Retrieve only approved metadata, properties, blocks, or markdown required by the task.
  5. Recursively traverse blocks only when requested and with depth, page, and byte bounds.
  6. Return completeness limits, access gaps, and the selected object's evidence.

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.

Approval Boundaries

Require the content owner before reading page bodies, user information, sensitive properties, descendants, or files beyond the approved scope.

Error Handling

  • Do not interpret no search result as proof that content does not exist.
  • Do not use a database ID as a data-source query target.
  • Stop recursive retrieval at the approved depth or byte budget.

Output

Return the search plan, paginated candidates, chosen stable IDs, retrieval manifest, truncation, access gaps, and evidence date. Identify assumptions, owners, expirations, and evidence gaps explicitly.

Examples

  • Disambiguate two pages with the same title using parent and ID.
  • Retrieve a page's approved blocks without following unrelated links.

Validation

Exercise and record these paths with expected and observed results:

  • pagination
  • duplicate title
  • index lag
  • unshared content
  • nested blocks
  • byte bound

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.
