— name: notion-knowledge-capture description: Capture conversations and decisions into structured Notion pages; use when turning chats/notes into wiki entries, how-tos, decisions, or FAQs with proper linking. metadata: short-description: Capture conversations into structured Notion pages — # Knowledge Capture Convert conversations and notes into structured, linkable Notion pages for easy reuse. ## Quick start 1) Clarify what to capture (decision, how-to, FAQ, learning, documentation) and target audience. 2) Identify the right database/template in `reference/` (team wiki, how-to, FAQ, decision log, learning, documentation). 3) Pull any prior context from Notion with `Notion:notion-search` → `Notion:notion-fetch` (existing pages to update/link). 4) Draft the page with `Notion:notion-create-pages` using the database's schema; include summary, context, source links, and tags/owners. 5) Link from hub pages and related records; update status/owners with `Notion:notion-update-page` as the source evolves. ## Workflow ### 0) If any MCP call fails because Notion MCP is not connected, pause and set it up: 1. Add the Notion MCP: – `codex mcp add notion –url https://mcp.notion.com/mcp` 2. Enable remote MCP client: – Set `[features].rmcp_client = true` in `config.toml` **or** run `codex –enable rmcp_client` 3. Log in with OAuth: – `codex mcp login notion` After successful login, the user will have to restart codex. You should finish your answer and tell them so when they try again they can continue with Step 1. ### 1) Define the capture – Ask purpose, audience, freshness, and whether this is new or an update. – Determine content type: decision, how-to, FAQ, concept/wiki entry, learning/note, documentation page. ### 2) Locate destination – Pick the correct database using `reference/*-database.md` guides; confirm required properties (title, tags, owner, status, date, relations). – If multiple candidate databases, ask the user which to use; otherwise, create in the primary wiki/documentation DB. ### 3) Extract and structure – Extract facts, decisions, actions, and rationale from the conversation. – For decisions, record alternatives, rationale, and outcomes. – For how-tos/docs, capture steps, pre-reqs, links to assets/code, and edge cases. – For FAQs, phrase as Q&A with concise answers and links to deeper docs. ### 4) Create/update in Notion – Use `Notion:notion-create-pages` with the correct `data_source_id`; set properties (title, tags, owner, status, dates, relations). – Use templates in `reference/` to structure content (section headers, checklists). – If updating an existing page, fetch then edit via `Notion:notion-update-page`. ### 5) Link and surface – Add relations/backlinks to hub pages, related specs/docs, and teams. – Add a short summary/changelog for future readers. – If follow-up tasks exist, create tasks in the relevant database and link them. ## References and examples – `reference/` — database schemas and templates (e.g., `team-wiki-database.md`, `how-to-guide-database.md`, `faq-database.md`, `decision-log-database.md`, `documentation-database.md`, `learning-database.md`, `database-best-practices.md`). – `examples/` — capture patterns in practice (e.g., `decision-capture.md`, `how-to-guide.md`, `conversation-to-faq.md`).
