4. Spec-to-Implementation

Convert specifications into detailed implementation plans.

Activates when you:

• Ask to create an implementation plan
• Want to break down feature specifications
• Need a project timeline with estimates
• Request actionable task lists from requirements

Example:

"Create an implementation plan for this API specification"
→ Spec-to-Implementation activates
→ Generates detailed task breakdown with timeline

Outputs:

• Implementation plans with phases
• Task breakdowns by component
• Effort estimates and timeline
• Dependency maps
• Progress tracking structure

How Skills Work

Model-Invoked Activation

Claude skills are model-invoked, meaning Claude automatically decides when to activate a skill based on:

1. Your request - Is this task related to the skill's purpose?
2. Skill description - Does the skill match what you're asking?
3. Context - Is this the right tool for this situation?

You don't need to explicitly call skills - they activate automatically when appropriate.

Token Efficiency

Skills are designed to be token-efficient:

• Initial cost: Minimal tokens for skill metadata
• On demand: Full documentation loads only when skill is used
• Smart activation: Only relevant skills consume tokens
• Result: Lean, focused context for your requests

Development & Contributing

Project Standards

• Each skill is contained in its own directory under plugins/notion-skills/skills/
• Skill definitions (SKILL.md) are under 500 lines
• Detailed documentation lives in reference/ subdirectories
• Test scenarios included in evaluations/ subdirectories
• Usage examples provided in examples/ subdirectories

Adding a New Skill

1. Create a directory: plugins/notion-skills/skills/your-skill-name/
2. Add SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter:

   ---
   name: your-skill-name
   description: Brief description of the skill
   ---

1. Create supporting directories:

• reference/ - Documentation and templates
• evaluations/ - Test scenarios
• examples/ - Usage examples

1. Update this README with the new skill information
2. Submit a pull request

Skill Structure Template

your-skill-name/
├── SKILL.md                    # Main skill definition
├── reference/
│   ├── guide-1.md
│   └── guide-2.md
├── evaluations/
│   ├── README.md
│   └── scenario-1.json
└── examples/
    └── example-1.md

Testing Skills

Each skill includes evaluation scenarios in the evaluations/ directory. To test a skill:

1. Review the evaluation scenarios
2. Use Claude Code to activate the skill
3. Run through test cases
4. Validate against success criteria
5. Document any issues

Documentation Structure

• README.md - This file; overview and installation
• CLAUDE.md - Claude Code integration details
• plugins/notion-skills/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md - Individual skill documentation
• plugins/notion-skills/skills/{skill-name}/reference/ - Templates and guides
• plugins/notion-skills/skills/{skill-name}/evaluations/ - Test scenarios
• plugins/notion-skills/skills/{skill-name}/examples/ - Usage examples

Architecture Decisions

Marketplace Pattern

We follow the Every Marketplace pattern:

• Marketplace registry (marketplace.json) for plugin discovery
• Plugin-level organization under plugins/notion-skills/
• Skill grouping within a single plugin
• Scalable structure allowing future additional plugins

Skill Definition Pattern

We follow the Notion Cookbook pattern:

• Concise SKILL.md (< 500 lines) for core definition
• Modular reference/ for detailed guidance
• Evaluation scenarios for consistent testing
• Practical examples for user education

Troubleshooting

Skill Not Activating

Check:

• Skill description matches your request
• Claude Code is updated to latest version
• Restart Claude Code to reload skills
• Notion API token is configured

Solution:

• Be more specific in your request
• Include keywords from skill description
• Check integration is working with test call

Notion API Errors

Check:

• API token is valid
• Target database is shared with integration
• Integration has "Edit" permissions
• Database IDs are correct

Debug:

• Test token with curl: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://api.notion.com/v1/users/me
• Verify database access in Notion UI
• Check integration settings in Developer Console

Performance Issues

Optimize:

• Limit database scope (not querying entire workspace)
• Use targeted search queries
• Increase timeout values for large operations
• Consider breaking large operations into steps
