About notion-research-documentation
The notion-research-documentation skill enables comprehensive research across Notion workspaces and transforms findings into structured, professional documentation. It solves the challenge of gathering scattered information from multiple Notion pages and synthesizing it into actionable briefs, reports, or comparisons with proper citations and source links.
This skill provides a complete workflow for information synthesis: it searches Notion content using targeted queries, fetches relevant pages, extracts key insights, and organizes findings into clear documentation formats. It supports multiple output types including quick briefs, research summaries, side-by-side comparisons, and comprehensive reports. Each document includes proper citations, source references, and links back to original Notion pages, ensuring traceability and credibility.
Ideal for teams conducting competitive analysis, technical investigations, market research, or any scenario requiring synthesis of information from multiple Notion sources. Product managers can use it to compare feature options, researchers to compile findings with citations, and teams to create decision-ready briefs. The skill handles Notion MCP setup guidance, ensures proper source tracking throughout the research process, and delivers polished documentation ready for stakeholder review.
FAQ
What do I need to use this skill?
You need the Notion MCP configured and connected. The skill will guide you through setup if not configured: add the MCP via 'codex mcp add notion --url https://mcp.notion.com/mcp', enable remote MCP client in config.toml, and authenticate with 'codex mcp login notion'.
What types of documentation can this skill produce?
It supports four output formats: quick briefs for rapid readouts, research summaries for single-topic deep dives, comparison documents for evaluating options and tradeoffs, and comprehensive reports for executive-ready detailed analysis. Each format has its own template optimized for the use case.
How does the skill handle citations and sources?
The skill tracks source URLs and page IDs throughout the research process, includes citations inline within the generated documentation, and adds a dedicated references section with links back to original Notion pages. It uses direct quotes for critical facts and maintains traceability for all findings.
Can I update documentation after it's created?
Yes, the skill supports iterative updates using the notion-update-page tool. You can refine content, add new findings, incorporate additional sources, and track changes with short changelogs as research evolves.
What if search returns too many or too few results?
The skill prompts you to confirm scope when multiple results appear and supports query refinement. It includes advanced search tactics and will work with you to narrow or broaden queries until the right set of source pages is identified.
