Knowledge Capture

Convert conversations and notes into structured, linkable Notion pages for easy reuse.

Quick start

1. Clarify what to capture (decision, how-to, FAQ, learning, documentation) and target audience.
2. Identify the right database/template in reference/ (team wiki, how-to, FAQ, decision log, learning, documentation).
3. Pull any prior context from Notion with Notion:notion-search → Notion:notion-fetch (existing pages to update/link).
4. Draft the page with Notion:notion-create-pages using the database’s schema; include summary, context, source links, and tags/owners.
5. Link from hub pages and related records; update status/owners with Notion:notion-update-page as the source evolves.

Workflow

0) If Notion tools are unavailable, pause and ask the user to connect the Notion app:

1. Enable the bundled Notion app for this plugin or session.
2. Complete the Notion auth flow if Codex prompts for it.
3. Restart Codex or the current session if the tools still do not appear.

After the app is connected, finish your answer and tell the user to retry so they can continue with Step 1.

1) Define the capture

• Ask purpose, audience, freshness, and whether this is new or an update.
• Determine content type: decision, how-to, FAQ, concept/wiki entry, learning/note, documentation page.

2) Locate destination

• Pick the correct database using reference/*-database.md guides; confirm required properties (title, tags, owner, status, date, relations).
• If multiple candidate databases, ask the user which to use; otherwise, create in the primary wiki/documentation DB.

3) Extract and structure

• Extract facts, decisions, actions, and rationale from the conversation.
• For decisions, record alternatives, rationale, and outcomes.
• For how-tos/docs, capture steps, pre-reqs, links to assets/code, and edge cases.
• For FAQs, phrase as Q&A with concise answers and links to deeper docs.

4) Create/update in Notion

• Use Notion:notion-create-pages with the correct data_source_id; set properties (title, tags, owner, status, dates, relations).
• Use templates in reference/ to structure content (section headers, checklists).
• If updating an existing page, fetch then edit via Notion:notion-update-page.

5) Link and surface

• Add relations/backlinks to hub pages, related specs/docs, and teams.
• Add a short summary/changelog for future readers.
• If follow-up tasks exist, create tasks in the relevant database and link them.
