Setup Options

Option 1: Use a Template

If the user wants to start fresh:

Point them to duplicate this template: https://notion.notion.site/code-with-notion-board
Instruct them to duplicate the template to their workspace by opening the link and clicking the duplicate button in the top bar (icon is two squares).
Once duplicated, have them share the URL of their new board - tell them to click the share button in the top-right and then Copy Link.

Option 2: Use an Existing Board

If the user already has a Notion board they want to use:

Ask them to provide the URL to their existing board
Use the Notion MCP tools to inspect the board structure
Verify it has the necessary properties for task management (e.g., Status, Title, etc.)
If properties are missing, suggest what they should add

After Setup

Once the user has a board configured:

Confirm you can access it via the Notion MCP
Let them know they can now use other skills:
- tasks-build to build a specific task
- tasks-explain-diff to generate documentation for code changes

Remember: Be conversational and helpful. This is a setup wizard, not a one-shot command.
