  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 2 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by 7df-lab on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Notion AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/7df-lab/devo/tree/main/crates/skills/assets/bundled/notion
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/7df-lab/devo.git /tmp/devo
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/devo/crates/skills/assets/bundled/notion .claude/skills/notion
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Notion in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Notion on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Notion is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Notion

Talk to Notion through its official hosted MCP server from the Python kernel.

Setup

Connect via /login → Services tab → Notion (OAuth in the browser). /mcp login notion does the same. Once connected, this skill is enabled automatically. If a call raises NotEnabled, the user isn't logged in — walk them through /login; don't ask them to set environment variables.

Usage

The tool set is defined by the server, not by this skill, so discover before you call — don't assume tool names or argument names:

Notion's tools are named with hyphens (e.g. notion-search, notion-fetch), which are not valid Python identifiers — so call them via call_tool:

python
import notion

# 1. Discover available tools (returns names + schemas)
for tool in await notion.list_tools():
    print(tool["name"], "-", tool["description"])

# 2. Call by exact name; the second arg matches the tool's input schema
result = await notion.call_tool("notion-search", {"query": "roadmap"})
print(result)

Tools whose names are valid identifiers can also be called as await notion.<tool>(**args), and help(notion.<tool>) shows their schema once list_tools() has run.

Notes:

  • Every call is async — always await.
  • Results are already-parsed Python (a dict for structured output, otherwise a string). No need to json.loads them.
  • Run list_tools() before relying on help() or assuming a tool exists — the server's schema is the source of truth for names and arguments.
  • The kernel import name is notion. On a custom kernel Python that already has the unrelated PyPI notion client installed, import notion may resolve to that instead; use the default managed kernel venv to avoid the clash.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Notion AI skill do?

Search Notion and read/create/update pages and databases via Notion's official hosted MCP server. Tools are auto-discovered from the server at runtime.

Why use Notion on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Notion is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Notion in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/7df-lab/devo/tree/main/crates/skills/assets/bundled/notion. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Notion?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Notion?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Notion with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Notion AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by 7df-lab under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
