Name: notion-knowledge-capture
Author: openai

Capture conversations and decisions into structured, linkable Notion pages for wikis, how-tos, FAQs, and decision logs. Supports six content types: decisions, how-to guides, FAQs, wiki entries, learning notes, and documentation pages, each with dedicated database templates and schemas. Includes a five-step workflow: define capture purpose, locate the target database, extract and structure content, create or update the Notion page, and link from related hub pages. Provides reference guides for database schemas, required properties (title, tags, owner, status, dates, relations), and capture patterns with examples. Requires Notion MCP setup via OAuth; includes troubleshooting steps if the MCP connection fails during page creation or search operations.

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.
