name: notion-task-creator description: Adds a new task to a project's Tasks board in the user's Notion Agent Workspace (Projects → the project → Tasks).

Notion Task Creator

Instructions

Step 1: Confirm the Notion MCP server is available

This skill requires the user's connected Notion MCP server (tools named mcp__notion__* or similar). If those tools are not loaded or the server requires authorization, tell the user to authorize it (via claude.ai connector settings, or claude mcp / /mcp in an interactive session) and stop — do not attempt to fabricate the task.

Step 2: Gather task details

From the user's request, extract:

  • Project name — if none is given, or the user says it's a general/unassigned task, use the General Tasks project.
  • Task name — required.
  • Description — optional, but ask if the user's phrasing implies more detail than the task name alone.
  • Priority — ask the user if not provided (e.g. Low / Medium / High, matching whatever priority options exist on the board).
  • Notes — optional, only if the user provides them.
  • Status — always set to Not started. Do not ask the user for this.

Step 3: Locate the workspace structure

In the user's Notion Agent Workspace:

  1. Find the Projects database/page.
  2. Find the page matching the given project name (or General Tasks if none/general).
  3. Within that project, find its Tasks board/database.

If the named project can't be found, list the closest matches you do find and ask the user to confirm rather than guessing or creating a new project.

Step 4: Create the task

Add a new item to the project's Tasks board with:

  • Task name: as given
  • Description: as given (leave blank if none provided)
  • Status: Not started
  • Priority: as given by the user
  • Notes: as given (leave blank if none provided)

Step 5: Confirm

Report back to the user: the project it was added to, the task name, and a link to the new task if the Notion tool returns one.
