Build Task from Notion

Build a task that is tracked in Notion. The user may be watching the Notion board, so all feedback should be sent through Notion.

Input

The user provides a Notion task URL.

Workflow

1. Fetch the task details

Use the Notion MCP tools to:

  • Get the page content including title, description, and any relevant properties

  • Look for acceptance criteria, requirements, or specifications

  • Read any linked pages or references if needed

2. Mark in progress

  • Change the status of the task to "In progress"

  • Update the "Agent status" field (if present) to contain a short description: an emoji followed by a word like "Starting..." or "Working..."

3. Build it

  • Work on the task per the specification. If this is a codebase, implement the code changes.

  • At each step, update the "Agent status" field to explain what's currently happening, so the user can see progress. Keep it brief: a relevant emoji followed by a few words. Examples: "Searching relevant files...", "Updating color scheme...", "Running tests..."

  • If you need user input to clarify the spec or answer questions, add a comment to the task prefixed with "Message from AI:" and set any "Agent blocked" field to true.

4. Update the task status

Once complete:

  • Update the task status in Notion to "Done"

  • If you made a code change, consider using the tasks-explain-diff skill to generate documentation

  • Add a final comment summarizing the results

Notes

  • If the URL is invalid or inaccessible, ask the user to verify the URL and their Notion connection

  • If requirements are unclear, ask clarifying questions before implementing
