Setup (check before using)

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/check_setup.rb

If the output is OK, proceed to the Flow section.

If the output is SETUP_NEEDED, guide the user step by step. Present ONE step at a time, wait for the user to confirm before moving to the next.

Step 1 — Ask the user to create an integration:

You need a Notion integration token.

1. Go to https://www.notion.so/my-integrations
2. Click New integration
3. Give it a name, select the workspace
4. Copy the Internal Integration Secret (starts with secret_)
5. Share the pages/databases you want to access with the integration (open the page, click ... > Connections > add your integration)

Paste the integration token here.

Step 2 — When the user pastes the token, save it:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/save_token.rb 'PASTED_TOKEN'

If the script outputs an error, the token is invalid. Ask the user to double-check and try again.

If setup is not complete, DO NOT proceed to the Flow. Complete all steps first.

Flow

The argument $ARGUMENTS may contain an action or page title.

Step 1: Search or list

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/search.rb "QUERY"
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/pages.rb
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/databases.rb

Present the results and ask what the user wants to do.

Step 2: Actions

Search pages and databases:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/search.rb "QUERY" --filter page
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/search.rb "QUERY" --filter database --page-size 10

List databases:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/databases.rb

Get database details:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/database.rb DATABASE_ID

Query a database:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/query_database.rb DATABASE_ID --page-size 20

List pages:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/pages.rb
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/pages.rb "QUERY" --page-size 10

Get page details:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/page.rb PAGE_ID

Create a page under a page (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/create_page.rb PARENT_PAGE_ID "My New Page"

Create a page in a database (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/create_page.rb DATABASE_ID "New Entry" --database

Update page properties (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/update_page.rb PAGE_ID "Name" "New Title"
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/update_page.rb PAGE_ID "Description" "Updated text"

List child blocks:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/blocks.rb PAGE_ID
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/blocks.rb PAGE_ID --page-size 50

Append blocks to a page (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/append_blocks.rb PAGE_ID "Hello world"
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/append_blocks.rb PAGE_ID "My Heading" --type heading_1
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/append_blocks.rb PAGE_ID "Buy groceries" --type to_do
ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/append_blocks.rb PAGE_ID "console.log('hi')" --type code

Block types: paragraph (default), heading_1, heading_2, heading_3, bulleted_list_item, numbered_list_item, to_do, code

Delete a block (requires user confirmation):

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/delete_block.rb BLOCK_ID

List users:

ruby ~/.claude/skills/notion/scripts/users.rb

Notes

• Pure Ruby, zero gems — stdlib only (json, net/http, uri, fileutils)
• Auth via Bearer token (Internal Integration Secret starting with secret_)
• All requests include the Notion-Version: 2022-06-28 header
• Token file: ~/.config/notion/token (outside the repo, never commit)
• Base URL: https://api.notion.com/v1
• Pages/databases must be shared with the integration to be accessible
• Creating pages, updating properties, appending/deleting blocks require explicit user confirmation
