What it does

Notion DB Hygiene is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Clean the user's REAL Notion database — read it, find stale/incomplete/duplicate entries, and fix them via the connector — not advice on keeping Notion tidy. Use when asked to clean up my Notion database, my tracker is a mess, find the stale and duplicate entries, or tidy my projects DB in Cowork. Reads the database via the Notion connector, audits for staleness / missing required fields / duplicates / status drift, and produces a hygiene-report artifact plus the applied fixes (with a preview-and-confirm step…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Notion. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to clean up my Notion database
  • My tracker is a mess
  • Find the stale and duplicate entries
  • Tidy my projects DB in Cowork

Example prompts

  • “/notion-db-hygiene”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Stale — no update past the threshold while still "active" → nudge, re-status, or archive.
  2. Incomplete — required fields blank (owner, due date, status) → fill or flag.
  3. Duplicate — same entity logged more than once → merge, keep the richer record.
  4. Status drift — status contradicts reality (done items still open, shipped items "in progress") → correct.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    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.

Context cost

Notion DB Hygiene loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 138 tokens; SKILL.md has 529 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~138
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Clean the user's REAL Notion database — read it, find stale/incomplete/duplicate entries, and fix them via the connector — not advice on keeping Notion tidy. Use when asked to clean up my Notion database, my tracker is a mess, find the stale and duplicate entries, or tidy my projects DB in Cowork. Reads the database via the Notion connector, audits for staleness / missing required fields / duplicates / status drift, and produces a hygiene-report artifact plus the applied fixes (with a preview-and-confirm step before any change).

Notion DB Hygiene (Live)

Trackers rot: entries stuck "In progress" for months, blank owners, the same project logged twice, statuses that no longer match reality. In Claude Cowork this skill reads the real database, finds the rot, and — after showing you the plan — fixes it in place, so the tracker becomes trustworthy again.

What This Skill Produces

  • The hygiene report — stale entries, missing required fields, duplicates, and status drift, each with the row and the issue
  • The fix plan — exactly what would change (archive, fill, merge, re-status), shown before anything is written
  • The applied fixes — executed via the connector after confirmation, with an undo-friendly change log

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The database — a Notion DB link or name
  • The rules — what "stale" means (e.g. no update in 30 days), which fields are required, what the valid statuses are
  • Autonomy — preview-only, or apply after confirmation (default: preview then apply on approval)

Framework: The Four Rots

  1. Stale — no update past the threshold while still "active" → nudge, re-status, or archive.
  2. Incomplete — required fields blank (owner, due date, status) → fill or flag.
  3. Duplicate — same entity logged more than once → merge, keep the richer record.
  4. Status drift — status contradicts reality (done items still open, shipped items "in progress") → correct.

Execution (Cowork)

  1. Read the DB — via the Notion connector, pull all rows and the schema (properties, required fields, status options).
  2. Audit — apply the four rots using the user's rules; group findings by type; detect duplicates by title/key similarity, not exact match only.
  3. Preview the plan — present every proposed change (row → field → old → new, or archive/merge) and wait for confirmation. Never write first.
  4. Apply — on approval, execute via the connector: update fields, set statuses, archive stale rows, merge duplicates (keeping the richer record and its links). Log each change.
  5. Emit the artifact — the hygiene report + the applied change log, plus anything left for the human.

Guardrails: never write before the preview is approved; never hard-delete — archive; when merging, preserve the richer record and its relations; respect the user's rules over defaults; if the connector is unauthorised, produce the report and plan without applying, and say so.

Output Format

A Notion Hygiene Report:

Summary

R rows · S stale · I incomplete · D duplicates · X status-drift

Findings & plan
RowIssueProposed fix
Applied (after approval)
RowChange made
Left for you
  • rows needing a human call (e.g. which duplicate is canonical)

Quality Checks

  • Nothing was written before the preview was approved
  • No hard deletes — stale rows archived, not destroyed
  • Merges kept the richer record and its relations
  • "Stale/required/valid status" followed the user's rules, not defaults
  • The change log lets the user see (and reverse) every edit

Anti-Patterns

  • Editing before showing the plan. Preview, confirm, then apply.
  • Deleting rows instead of archiving.
  • Exact-match-only dedupe that misses "Acme" vs "Acme Corp".
  • Guessing owners/dates to fill blanks — flag them for the human.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Clean up my Notion projects database in Cowork."
  • "Find the stale and duplicate entries in my tracker and fix them."
  • "My Notion CRM is a mess — audit it and show me the plan."
  • "Tidy my tasks DB: fill blanks, archive dead rows, fix statuses."
