Notion Research Documenter

Search your Notion workspace and generate comprehensive research documents with citations.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/notion-research-documentation-prat011/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

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.

What this skill does

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
