Knowledge Capture
Transforms conversations, discussions, and insights into structured documentation in your Notion workspace. Captures knowledge from chat context, formats it appropriately, and saves it to the right location with proper organization and linking.
Content Types
Choose appropriate structure based on content:
Type Structure Concept Overview → Definition → Characteristics → Examples → Use Cases → Related How-To Overview → Prerequisites → Steps (numbered) → Verification → Troubleshooting Decision Context → Decision → Rationale → Options Considered → Consequences FAQ Short Answer → Detailed Explanation → Examples → When to Use Learning What Happened → What Went Well → What Didn't → Root Causes → Actions
Destination Patterns
General Wiki: Standalone page → add to index → tag → link from related pages
Project Wiki: Child of project page → link from project overview → tag with project name
Documentation Database: Use properties (Title, Type, Category, Tags, Last Updated, Owner)
Decision Log Database: Use properties (Decision, Date, Status, Domain, Deciders, Impact)
FAQ Database: Use properties (Question, Category, Tags, Last Reviewed, Useful Count)
Content Extraction

-
Resources and references
-
Action items
-
Q&A pairs
From problem-solving sessions:

Common pitfalls
Making Content Discoverable
After creating a page, link it so others can find it:
-
Update hub/index pages: Add link to wiki table of contents, relevant project page, or category page
-
If in a database: Set appropriate tags/categories, set status to "Published"
-
Update parent page: Add to project's "Documentation" section or team wiki homepage
Best Practices
-
Capture promptly: Document while context is fresh
-
Structure consistently: Use templates for similar content
-
Link extensively: Connect related knowledge
-
Write for discovery: Use searchable titles and tags
-
Include context: Why this matters, when to use
-
Add examples: Concrete examples aid understanding
-
Maintain: Review and update periodically

-
Make discoverable: Link from relevant hub pages, add to databases, or update wiki navigation
Common Issues
Issue Solution Not sure where to save Default to general wiki, can move later Content is fragmentary Group related fragments into cohesive doc Already exists Search first, update existing if appropriate Too informal Clean up language while preserving insights
