What it does

Notion Research Documentation is an agent skill from rongxinzy/RongxinAI. Searches across your Notion workspace, synthesizes findings from multiple pages, and creates comprehensive research documentation saved as new Notion pages. Turns scattered information into structured reports with proper citations and actionable insights.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 21 other files (for example `evaluations/README.md`, `evaluations/basic-research.json` and `evaluations/research-to-database.json`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. It works with Notion. The repository describes itself as: An all-in-one local AI Agent workspace with a fully self-developed stack. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Citation management

Example prompts

  • “Use the notion-research-documentation skill to search across your Notion workspace, synthesizes findings from multiple pages, and creates…”
  • “/notion-research-documentation”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Search for relevant information
  2. Fetch page content
  3. Synthesize findings
  4. Create structured documentation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9c64865. 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 Research Documentation loads about 924 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 319 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~924

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.

Research & Documentation

Enables comprehensive research workflows: search for information across your Notion workspace, fetch and analyze relevant pages, synthesize findings, and create well-structured documentation.

Quick Start

When asked to research and document a topic:

  1. Search for relevant content: Use Notion:notion-search to find pages
  2. Fetch detailed information: Use Notion:notion-fetch to read full page content
  3. Synthesize findings: Analyze and combine information from multiple sources
  4. Create structured output: Use Notion:notion-create-pages to write documentation

Research Workflow

Step 1: Search for relevant information
Use Notion:notion-search with the research topic
Filter by teamspace if scope is known
Review search results to identify most relevant pages
Step 2: Fetch page content
Use Notion:notion-fetch for each relevant page URL
Collect content from all relevant sources
Note key findings, quotes, and data points
Step 3: Synthesize findings

Analyze the collected information:

  • Identify key themes and patterns
  • Connect related concepts across sources
  • Note gaps or conflicting information
  • Organize findings logically
Step 4: Create structured documentation

Use the appropriate documentation template (see reference/format-selection-guide.md) to structure output:

  • Clear title and executive summary
  • Well-organized sections with headings
  • Citations linking back to source pages
  • Actionable conclusions or next steps

Output Formats

Choose the appropriate format based on request:

Research Summary: See reference/research-summary-format.md Comprehensive Report: See reference/comprehensive-report-format.md Quick Brief: See reference/quick-brief-format.md

Best Practices

  1. Cast a wide net first: Start with broad searches, then narrow down
  2. Cite sources: Always link back to source pages using mentions
  3. Verify recency: Check page last-edited dates for current information
  4. Cross-reference: Validate findings across multiple sources
  5. Structure clearly: Use headings, bullets, and formatting for readability

Page Placement

By default, create research documents as standalone pages. If the user specifies:

  • A parent page → use page_id parent
  • A database → fetch the database first, then use appropriate data_source_id
  • A teamspace → create in that context

Advanced Features

Search filtering: See reference/advanced-search.md Citation styles: See reference/citations.md

Common Issues

"No results found": Try broader search terms or different teamspaces "Too many results": Add filters or search within specific pages "Can't access page": User may lack permissions, ask them to verify access
