Research a Notion Workspace
Use this skill when an agent must find and read content in a Notion workspace.
Workflow
1. Clarify the question
- Restate what information the user needs and from where (specific page, database, or anywhere in the workspace).
- Confirm the workspace is connected (OAuth completed in the client).
2. Search
- Use the Notion search tool with targeted queries (2–4 phrasings if the first is broad).
- Review results: page titles, database names, and snippets. Prefer authoritative pages (project docs, meeting notes, design docs) over duplicates.
3. Read the relevant content
- Open the top 1–3 pages and read their blocks: headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, to-dos.
- For databases, query the relevant rows/views and extract the fields that answer the question.
4. Synthesize with citations
- Answer the question from the content, citing which page/database the facts came from (page title + link if available).
- Distinguish: facts from content, gaps ("no page found for X"), and contradictions between pages if present.
5. Report
Give: the answer, the sources (page/database titles), and anything you could not find. This is read-only research — do not create or modify content.
Guardrails
- Read-only: search + read only; no content creation or updates.
- Do not dump entire long pages; extract and summarize the relevant parts.
