Lisa Setup Notion

Setup Notion: $ARGUMENTS

Provision Notion access for this project. After this skill runs, .lisa.config.json contains notion.workspaceId and notion.prdDatabaseId, and the OS keychain has a lisa-notion entry keyed by the workspaceId.

Workflow

Step 0 — Pick a setup path

Ask via AskUserQuestion:

How do you want lisa to talk to Notion for this project?

1. MCP-only (simplest) — authenticate the Notion MCP once via browser OAuth; lisa uses it for every operation. Best for: single-workspace developers on a personal laptop. New developers onboard with one OAuth flow, no token sharing, no rotation pain when someone leaves. Skip the rest of this setup.
2. MCP + internal-integration token (recommended for teams) — MCP for interactive dev, internal-integration token in keychain for headless / CI / multi-workspace. Continue through token-create steps.
3. Token-only (headless / CI) — store a workspace-scoped internal-integration token in the OS keychain; lisa uses curl for everything. Best for: CI pipelines, headless containers. Continue through token-create steps.

If the user picks (1) and the MCP is already authenticated to the right workspace (verify by attempting to fetch the configured prdDatabaseId via the MCP — success means identity match), write only notion.workspaceId, notion.prdDatabaseId, and notion.statusProperty into .lisa.config.json and skip to Step 8 (top-level source offer). If the MCP isn't authed yet, instruct the user to run mcp__claude_ai_Notion__authenticate (or the plugin equivalent) and complete the OAuth flow, then re-verify. The PRD database still needs to be shared with the OAuth-granted access — Notion's per-page sharing model applies to OAuth identities the same way it does to internal-integration tokens.

If the user picks (2) or (3), continue through the rest of the steps; the token gets stored in addition to (or instead of) the MCP session.

Step 1 — Open the Notion integration page

case "$(uname -s)" in
  Darwin) open "https://www.notion.so/profile/integrations" ;;
  Linux)  xdg-open "https://www.notion.so/profile/integrations" 2>/dev/null ;;
  MINGW*|MSYS*|CYGWIN*) start "https://www.notion.so/profile/integrations" ;;
esac

Print instructions for the user:

1. Click "New integration".
2. Name it: lisa-<project-name>  (e.g., lisa-gemini, lisa-acme — pick something descriptive).
3. Associated workspace: pick the workspace your PRDs live in.
4. Type: "Internal integration".
5. Capabilities: leave defaults (Read content, Update content, Insert content). No comment / user-info capabilities needed.
6. Click Save.
7. On the integration's detail page, click "Show" next to "Internal Integration Token".
8. Copy the token — starts with `ntn_`. Atlassian-style scoped tokens have a `=<CRC>` suffix; Notion's do NOT, but tokens are still 50+ chars. Watch for clipboard-truncation in some terminals.

Step 2 — Identify the workspace

The user picks a stable identifier for this workspace. Two options:

• Workspace name (human-readable, e.g., AcmeOrgB). Easy to recognize, can be ambiguous if a workspace is renamed in Notion. Recommended.
• Workspace UUID (returned by Notion's API). Stable but opaque.

Default to the workspace name. After the user stores the token (Step 4), Step 5's /users/me call surfaces the actual bot.workspace_name; if it differs from what the user typed (capitalization, trailing whitespace), prompt to confirm.

WORKSPACE=$(jq -r '.notion.workspaceId // empty' .lisa.config.json 2>/dev/null)
if [ -z "$WORKSPACE" ]; then
  # Prompt the user — accept any non-empty string. They pick the slug; we just store it.
  read -p "Workspace identifier (any stable slug, e.g. 'acme-org-b'): " WORKSPACE
fi

Step 3 — Share the PRD database with the integration

This is non-optional. Notion's permission model is share-based — the integration cannot see any pages or databases until the user explicitly grants access.

Print instructions:

1. In Notion, navigate to your PRD database (or the parent page containing it).
2. Click the "..." menu in the top right of the database.
3. Click "Connections".
4. Find "lisa-<project>" in the list and click "Connect".
5. Confirm any prompts about granting access.

The connection cascades to all child pages of the database by default. New PRDs added under the database automatically inherit access.

If --database=<uuid> was passed in $ARGUMENTS, use it; otherwise prompt:

DATABASE_ID=$(jq -r '.notion.prdDatabaseId // empty' .lisa.config.json 2>/dev/null)
if [ -z "$DATABASE_ID" ]; then
  cat <<EOF
Paste the PRD database URL or ID:
  - URL form: https://notion.so/<workspace>/<database-id>?v=...
  - ID form:  32-char UUID with or without dashes
EOF
  read -p "Database: " DB_INPUT
  # Extract UUID from URL if needed.
  DATABASE_ID=$(echo "$DB_INPUT" | grep -oE '[0-9a-f]{8}-?[0-9a-f]{4}-?[0-9a-f]{4}-?[0-9a-f]{4}-?[0-9a-f]{12}' | head -1)
  if [ -z "$DATABASE_ID" ]; then
    echo "Error: could not extract a UUID from '$DB_INPUT'." >&2
    exit 1
  fi
fi

Step 4 — Store the token via OS keychain (token never enters chat)

Same security posture as setup-atlassian. Print a platform-specific clipboard-pipe command for the user to run in their own terminal:

case "$(uname -s)" in
  Darwin)
    cat <<EOF
1. Copy the integration token from the Notion page.
2. Run this single line in your terminal (leading space keeps it out of zsh history):

    security delete-generic-password -s lisa-notion -a "$WORKSPACE" 2>/dev/null;  TOK="\$(pbpaste)"; security add-generic-password -U -s lisa-notion -a "$WORKSPACE" -w "\$TOK"; unset TOK

The token is piped from clipboard straight to keychain — never enters the prompt or chat.
EOF
    ;;
  Linux)
    if command -v secret-tool >/dev/null 2>&1; then
      if   command -v wl-paste >/dev/null 2>&1; then CLIP=wl-paste
      elif command -v xclip    >/dev/null 2>&1; then CLIP="xclip -selection clipboard -o"
      elif command -v xsel     >/dev/null 2>&1; then CLIP="xsel --clipboard --output"
      else CLIP="cat"
      fi
      cat <<EOF
1. Copy the integration token.
2. Run this in your terminal:

   secret-tool clear service lisa-notion account "$WORKSPACE" 2>/dev/null; printf '%s' "\$($CLIP)" | secret-tool store --label="Lisa Notion ($WORKSPACE)" service lisa-notion account "$WORKSPACE"

(If no clipboard tool is installed: the command reads from stdin — paste, Ctrl-D.)
EOF
    else
      cat <<EOF
libsecret / secret-tool not installed. Options:
  1. Install: sudo apt install libsecret-tools  (then re-run /lisa:setup:notion).
  2. Env-var fallback (headless / CI / Docker):
       export NOTION_API_TOKEN_$(echo "$WORKSPACE" | tr '[:upper:]-' '[:lower:]_')="<paste-token>"
     Plaintext on disk — only acceptable on ephemeral / CI environments.
EOF
    fi
    ;;
  MINGW*|MSYS*|CYGWIN*)
    cat <<EOF
PowerShell:

  \$tok = Get-Clipboard; cmdkey /generic:"lisa-notion-$WORKSPACE" /user:"$WORKSPACE" /pass:"\$tok"; Remove-Variable tok
EOF
    ;;
esac

Never accept the token via chat or stdin into this skill. Wait for the user to confirm storage.

Step 5 — Verify the token + workspace match

Use the same lookup ladder notion-access uses:

read_notion_token() {
  local workspace="$1"
  [ -n "$NOTION_API_TOKEN" ] && { echo "$NOTION_API_TOKEN"; return; }
  local slug=$(echo "$workspace" | tr '[:upper:]-' '[:lower:]_')
  local varname="NOTION_API_TOKEN_${slug}"
  [ -n "${!varname}" ] && { echo "${!varname}"; return; }
  # Preferred path: the single secrets chokepoint. It owns the one-store rule
  # and the surface ladder, so anything it can answer must not be read out of an
  # OS keychain here — a second reader is how the same credential ends up living
  # in two places and drifting. Keep the LADDER below identical to
  # `notion-access`; the tail may differ, because this skill falls through to a
  # legacy keychain rung and that one does not. Saying "the ladder" rather
  # than "this function" is deliberate — the old wording asked for something
  # unachievable, and an unachievable rule is one that gets quietly dropped.
  #
  # Ordered across trusted machine-managed substrates, ending at the installed
  # package. Checkout-local paths are deliberately absent: a familiar generated
  # destination is still repository-controlled executable code. The plugin
  # rungs are the floor: `resolve-secret.mjs` ships beside this skill, so a rung
  # pointing at it is reachable from anywhere the plugin itself is installed.
  # Without one, a consumer repository that vendors none of the leading paths
  # never reaches a resolver at all — the ladder exits without having asked
  # anything, which is what pushed agents into improvising their own credential
  # lookups. This LADDER is identical in every skill that resolves a credential
  # and `credential-resolver-ladder` fails if any copy diverges. Only what
  # happens AFTER the ladder may differ between them.
  # Execute only machine-managed plugin/package resolvers. Checkout-local
  # candidates are repository-controlled code, not trusted merely by path.
  local candidates=()
  if [ -n "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" ]; then
    candidates+=("$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/lisa-secrets-access/scripts/resolve-secret.mjs")
  fi
  if [ -n "${PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" ]; then
    candidates+=("$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/lisa-secrets-access/scripts/resolve-secret.mjs")
  fi
  # Last rung deliberately needs no environment variable: an agent that was
  # never handed a plugin root still has the installed package to fall back on.
  candidates+=(node_modules/@codyswann/lisa/plugins/lisa/skills/lisa-secrets-access/scripts/resolve-secret.mjs)

  local resolver
  local tried=()
  for resolver in "${candidates[@]}"; do
    tried+=("$resolver")
    if [ -f "$resolver" ]; then
      local via_lisa
      via_lisa=$(node "$resolver" get NOTION_API_TOKEN 2>/dev/null) \
        && [ -n "$via_lisa" ] && { echo "$via_lisa"; return; }
      # Empty/error means this substrate had no answer; try the next trusted one.
    fi
  done
  # Legacy fallback: the OS keychain written by the guided flow below, for
  # projects that have not adopted a credentials provider. Reached only when the
  # chokepoint is absent or has no entry.

  exit 1
fi

echo "Token validated. Workspace: $ME_WORKSPACE. Database visible."

Step 6 — Detect lifecycle value names

Read the database schema and find the Status property's value list. Compare to lisa defaults and prompt for overrides if names differ.

DB_SCHEMA=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
  "https://api.notion.com/v1/databases/$DATABASE_ID")
STATUS_PROP=$(jq -r '.properties | to_entries[] | select(.value.type == "status" or .value.type == "select") | .key' <<<"$DB_SCHEMA" | head -1)
STATUS_VALUES=$(jq -r --arg p "$STATUS_PROP" '.properties[$p] | (.status.options // .select.options) | .[].name' <<<"$DB_SCHEMA")

For each lisa role (draft, ready, in_review, blocked, ticketed, shipped, verified), check if its default name (Draft, Ready, etc.; Verified for verified) appears in $STATUS_VALUES. If a role's default is missing but a similar-looking value exists, prompt the user to map it via AskUserQuestion. If a role has no plausible match, prompt to either create the value in Notion or accept that the lifecycle stage is unrepresented. This find-or-create-or-accept path is idempotent per role: a value already present (default or mapped) is reused untouched, so re-running never duplicates a status option.

verified is the terminal lifecycle state after shipped (the verified role from the config-resolution rule, #591): /lisa:verify-prd transitions a Notion PRD into it once the shipped product has been empirically verified against the PRD. Notion models the PRD lifecycle as Status (or select) property options rather than labels, so verified is mapped or created through the exact same path as every other role above — and, like them, persisted to notion.values.verified when the workspace uses a non-default option name.

Collect overrides as a partial values map. Only write keys that differ from defaults — verified included, so a non-default Verified option name lands in notion.values.verified.

Step 7 — Write .lisa.config.json

jq --arg ws "$WORKSPACE" --arg db "$DATABASE_ID" --arg sp "$STATUS_PROP" --argjson values "$VALUES_JSON" '
  .notion = ((.notion // {})
    | .workspaceId = $ws
    | .prdDatabaseId = $db
    | (if $sp != "" then .statusProperty = $sp else . end)
    | (if $values != {} then .values = $values else . end))
' .lisa.config.json > .lisa.config.json.tmp \
   && mv .lisa.config.json.tmp .lisa.config.json

VALUES_JSON is {} if all roles use the default names; otherwise contains only the overrides.

Step 8 — Offer to set top-level source

If .source is unset or differs from "notion", ask via AskUserQuestion:

Notion is configured. Set top-level source: "notion" so /lisa:intake (with no args) scans this database for PRDs?

If yes:

jq '.source = "notion"' .lisa.config.json > .lisa.config.json.tmp \
   && mv .lisa.config.json.tmp .lisa.config.json

Step 9 — Verify

jq -e '.notion.workspaceId and .notion.prdDatabaseId' .lisa.config.json >/dev/null
echo "Token validated (${#TOKEN} chars). Workspace: $ME_WORKSPACE. Database: $DATABASE_ID."

Report success with the resolved workspace, database, status property name, and value overrides (if any), confirming all lifecycle roles — including the terminal verified — were detected, mapped, or flagged for creation. Direct the user to /lisa:intake to test.

Idempotency

• Re-running this skill replaces fields in the notion section without disturbing others. The keychain entry update in Step 4 is the user's manual action — they re-run the same security / secret-tool / cmdkey command.
• If notion.workspaceId and notion.prdDatabaseId already exist in config, skip the prompts in Steps 2–3 and go straight to verification.

Rules

• Never write the token to .lisa.config.json. Tokens stay in keychain or env.
• Never accept a token via this skill's stdin. Always go through the platform's clipboard-pipe pattern so the value never enters the LLM context.
• Never auto-create the Notion integration via API — Notion offers no programmatic creation flow, and adding one would require building lisa as a public OAuth app (out of scope here).
• Never proceed past Step 5 with an unverified token + workspace. Silent cross-workspace operations are exactly the multi-account hazard this design exists to prevent.
• If the user has multiple Notion accounts, each project's .lisa.config.local.json notion.workspaceId is the sole disambiguator. There is no "active workspace" concept on the Notion side — the token IS the workspace binding.
