AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a systematic approach to gathering, analyzing, and documenting information stored within Notion. It guides the agent through searching for relevant pages, fetching content, selecting an appropriate output format, and drafting structured documents such as briefs, summaries, or reports. The workflow emphasizes accuracy by requiring inline citations and direct links back to the original source material, ensuring that all synthesized findings are verifiable and well-organized.

What it does

Searches and retrieves relevant content across Notion workspaces.
Synthesizes raw information into structured formats like briefs or reports.
Provides templates for various documentation needs including comparisons and deep dives.
Ensures traceability by linking findings to their original source pages.
Supports the creation of actionable tasks or checklists within the generated documents.
Includes a setup procedure for connecting the Notion MCP client.

When to use it

When you need to consolidate information from multiple Notion pages into a single report.
When performing research that requires verifiable citations from internal documentation.
When creating executive summaries, competitor analyses, or technical investigations.
When you need to present findings in a standardized, professional format.

Advantages

Reduces manual effort in aggregating scattered information.
Improves documentation quality through standardized templates.
Increases transparency by maintaining clear links to source data.
Facilitates better decision-making by organizing findings into clear, actionable insights.

Usage examples

“Research our recent meeting notes in Notion and create a summary of all action items.”: The agent searches for relevant meeting pages, extracts action items, and compiles them into a structured summary document with links to the original meeting notes.
“Compare the two project proposals I have in Notion and create a comparison report.”: The agent fetches both proposal documents, identifies key tradeoffs, and generates a comparison report using the designated template.

Research & Documentation

Pull relevant Notion pages, synthesize findings, and publish clear briefs or reports (with citations and links to sources).

Quick start

Find sources with Notion:notion-search using targeted queries; confirm scope with the user.
Fetch pages via Notion:notion-fetch; note key sections and capture citations (reference/citations.md).
Choose output format (brief, summary, comparison, comprehensive report) using reference/format-selection-guide.md.
Draft in Notion with Notion:notion-create-pages using the matching template (quick, summary, comparison, comprehensive).
Link sources and add a references/citations section; update as new info arrives with Notion:notion-update-page.

Workflow

0) If any MCP call fails because Notion MCP is not connected, pause and set it up:

Add the Notion MCP:
- codex mcp add notion --url https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
Enable remote MCP client:
- Set [features].rmcp_client = true in config.toml or run codex --enable rmcp_client
Log in with OAuth:
- codex mcp login notion

After successful login, the user will have to restart codex. You should finish your answer and tell them so when they try again they can continue with Step 1.

1) Gather sources

Search first (Notion:notion-search); refine queries, and ask the user to confirm if multiple results appear.
Fetch relevant pages (Notion:notion-fetch), skim for facts, metrics, claims, constraints, and dates.
Track each source URL/ID for later citation; prefer direct quotes for critical facts.

2) Select the format

Quick readout → quick brief.
Single-topic dive → research summary.
Option tradeoffs → comparison.
Deep dive / exec-ready → comprehensive report.
See reference/format-selection-guide.md for when to pick each.

3) Synthesize

Outline before writing; group findings by themes/questions.
Note evidence with source IDs; flag gaps or contradictions.
Keep user goal in view (decision, summary, plan, recommendation).

4) Create the doc

Pick the matching template in reference/ (brief, summary, comparison, comprehensive) and adapt it.
Create the page with Notion:notion-create-pages; include title, summary, key findings, supporting evidence, and recommendations/next steps when relevant.
Add citations inline and a references section; link back to source pages.

5) Finalize & handoff

Add highlights, risks, and open questions.
If the user needs follow-ups, create tasks or a checklist in the page; link any task database entries if applicable.
Share a short changelog or status using Notion:notion-update-page when updating.
