What it does

Notion is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. Read, create, and update Notion pages and databases via the Notion REST API

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

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. It works with Notion. The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve REST APIs

Example prompts

“/notion”

Requirements

A credential in NOTION_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

Set up the integration token
Search workspace
Read a page
Query a database
Create a page in a database
Append text blocks to a page

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. 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 (its code samples are powershell).
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
Also links to:
- notion.so
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- NOTION_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Notion loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 242 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:30
```
# Set token in session (or add to .env)
```

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.

SKILL.md

The full file from taracodlabs/aiden at commit 3704204, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© taracodlabs). 242 words, ~1,047 tokens.

Notion API Integration

Interact with Notion workspaces through the official REST API. Requires an Internal Integration token (NOTION_TOKEN) and pages/databases shared with that integration.

When to Use

User wants to read content from a Notion page
User wants to create a new page or database entry
User wants to query a Notion database with filters
User wants to append blocks to an existing page
User wants to search across their Notion workspace

How to Use

1. Set up the integration token

The user must create an Internal Integration at https://www.notion.so/my-integrations and share their pages/databases with it.

powershell

# Set token in session (or add to .env)
$env:NOTION_TOKEN = "ntn_..."

2. Search workspace

powershell

$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $env:NOTION_TOKEN"; "Notion-Version" = "2022-06-28"; "Content-Type" = "application/json" }
$body    = '{"query": "meeting notes"}'
$resp    = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.notion.com/v1/search" -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body $body
$resp.results | Select-Object -ExpandProperty properties | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5

3. Read a page

powershell

$pageId  = "your-page-id"   # from Notion URL: notion.so/Page-Title-<pageId>
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $env:NOTION_TOKEN"; "Notion-Version" = "2022-06-28" }
$page    = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/$pageId" -Headers $headers
$blocks  = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/$pageId/children" -Headers $headers
$blocks.results | ForEach-Object { $_.paragraph.rich_text.plain_text }

4. Query a database

powershell

$dbId    = "your-database-id"
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $env:NOTION_TOKEN"; "Notion-Version" = "2022-06-28"; "Content-Type" = "application/json" }
$filter  = '{"filter": {"property": "Status", "select": {"equals": "In Progress"}}}'
$resp    = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.notion.com/v1/databases/$dbId/query" -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body $filter
$resp.results | ForEach-Object { $_.properties.Name.title.plain_text }

5. Create a page in a database

powershell

$dbId    = "your-database-id"
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $env:NOTION_TOKEN"; "Notion-Version" = "2022-06-28"; "Content-Type" = "application/json" }
$payload = @{
  parent     = @{ database_id = $dbId }
  properties = @{
    Name = @{ title = @(@{ text = @{ content = "My New Page" } }) }
  }
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages" -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body $payload

6. Append text blocks to a page

powershell

$pageId  = "your-page-id"
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $env:NOTION_TOKEN"; "Notion-Version" = "2022-06-28"; "Content-Type" = "application/json" }
$payload = @{
  children = @(@{
    object    = "block"
    type      = "paragraph"
    paragraph = @{ rich_text = @(@{ type = "text"; text = @{ content = "Appended content here." } }) }
  })
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/$pageId/children" -Method Patch -Headers $headers -Body $payload

Examples

"Show me all In Progress tasks in my Notion project database" → Use step 4 with a Status filter. Ask for database ID from the Notion URL.

"Create a new meeting notes page in Notion for today" → Use step 5 to create a page, then step 6 to append an agenda block.

"Search my Notion workspace for anything about Q2 planning" → Use step 2 with query Q2 planning.

Cautions

Integration must be explicitly shared with each page/database — it won't see everything by default
Page IDs are the 32-character hex string at the end of Notion URLs
API rate limit is 3 requests/second per integration — add delays for bulk operations
Rich text properties have nested structure — always check rich_text[0].plain_text for text values
