Notion Curator Skill

Goal

Natively read, reformat, and migrate imported Notion markdown files into the structured vault zones (raw/ and wiki/) completely keylessly using native cognitive context and without triggering authorization prompts by utilizing native file tools.

Prerequisites

• Vault Directory Permissions: Ensure the agent has read/write permission to the Obsidian folder.
• Avoid shell commands: Never use shell commands (find, mkdir, mv, cat) since they always trigger manual user approval prompts. Use native view_file and write_to_file tools.

Step 1 — Scan source folder

Read the contents of the target Notion directory to locate imported markdown files:

# Check files inside target Notion directory
# (Use native file listing/view tools if available, or a single non-interactive file-read check)

Step 2 — Process and Curate notes (Zero-YAML Standard)

For each file in the Notion folder:

1. Read original note: Use native view_file to read the content keylessly.
2. Reformat to zero-YAML standard: Use the cognitive LLM context to convert it:
   • H1 Title at the top.
   • Metadata blockquote (Zero-YAML):

     > **Source:** Notion Course
     > **Author:** Carlos Ibarra · **Date:** May 2026
     > **Type:** course note
     > **Tags:** #no-read-yet

   • Key Takeaways section (## 📌 Key Takeaways) with bullet points and emojis.
   • Technical body with structured headers (## 1. Topic, ## 2. ...), preserving code blocks.
   • Flashcards section (## Flashcards): 1. **Q:** [Question]? → **A:** [Answer].
   • Glossary section (## Glossary): - **[Term]**: [Definition].
   • Related section (## Related) with suggested wikilinks.
3. Write curated note: Save it under <RootFolder>/raw/<Course Name>/<Section>/<Note Name>.md using native write_to_file.

Step 3 — Compile concepts natively (Wiki)

For each processed note:

1. Extract 3–5 core concepts using your cognitive LLM context.
2. Create or update files under <RootFolder>/wiki/<ConceptName>.md (PascalCase, e.g. TargetEncoding) using write_to_file.
3. Include deep synthesis and a Sources backlink section pointing to the raw note.

Step 4 — Update Master Plan

1. Parse the metadata of all curated raw notes.
2. Edit <VaultRoot>/<RootFolder>/Master Plan — <Course>.md directly using replace_file_content to rebuild its index table.

Step 5 — Move Original Files

Move the original Notion file to a processed/ directory:

• Since moving files normally requires a shell command, batch the move operations or perform a native write of the file in the new location and delete the original using native tools, or request a single batch command approval at the end.

Constraints

• NEVER use YAML frontmatter.
• NEVER use emojis outside of ## 📌 Key Takeaways.
• Maintain original language for course content.
• Use native filesystem tools exclusively to prevent authorization prompts.
