Notion CLI
Look things up before answering
The CLI is self-documenting. Always prefer running these commands over guessing syntax or relying on memorized knowledge:
ntn api ls— list every public API endpoint.ntn api <path> --help— show methods, doc links, and usage for an endpoint.ntn api <path> --docs— print the full official docs for an endpoint.ntn api <path> --spec— print a reduced OpenAPI fragment (useful for understanding request/response schemas).ntn <command> --help— help for any command or subcommand.
Install
npm i -g ntn@latest
Authentication
NOTION_API_TOKEN— required forntn apiandntn files. Set this env var to a Notion integration token.ntn login/ntn logout— session auth forntn workersandntn tokens. This does not authenticatentn apiorntn filestoday.
ntn api
Run ntn api --help for full syntax. Quick summary:
# GET with query param
ntn api v1/users page_size==100
# POST with inline body fields
ntn api v1/pages parent[page_id]=abc123
# POST with JSON body
ntn api v1/pages -d '{"parent":{"page_id":"abc123"}}'
The method is inferred (GET by default, POST when a body is present). Override
with -X METHOD.
ntn files
Convenience wrapper around the File Uploads API.
ntn files create < image.png
ntn files create --external-url https://example.com/photo.png
ntn files list
ntn files get <upload-id>
ntn workers
Manage Notion workers (deploy, list, execute, etc.). Run ntn workers --help
for subcommands.
ntn workers new my-worker # scaffold a new project
ntn workers deploy # deploy from current directory
ntn workers ls # list workers
ntn workers exec <capability> # execute a capability
ntn tokens
Manage tokens used by ntn workers. Requires ntn login. These are separate
from NOTION_API_TOKEN integration tokens.
ntn tokens create
ntn tokens ls
ntn tokens revoke <token-id>
How to use notion-cli on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add notion-cli
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches notion-cli from GitHub repository makenotion/skills and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate notion-cli. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /notion-cli) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Use Cases▌
User Story & Requirements Generation
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Competitive Analysis
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Roadmap Prioritization
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Stakeholder Communication
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead
Implementation Guide▌
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
- ›Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
- ›Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
- ›Stakeholder contact information and communication channels
Time Estimate
30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements
Installation Steps
- 1.Install product management skill
- 2.Start with user story generation for known feature
- 3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
- 4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
- 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
- 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
- 7.Share effective prompts with product team
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
- ⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
- ⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
- ⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
- ⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
- +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
- +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
- +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
- +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
- +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition
✗ Don't
- −Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
- −Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
- −Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
- −Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
- −Don't ignore company-specific context and culture
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
- ★Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
- ★Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
- ★Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
