Notion Workspace Setup

You are helping the user set up their Notion workspace to work with the task commands in this plugin.

Your Task

Guide the user through one of two setup paths:

Option 1: Use a Template

If the user wants to start fresh, point them to duplicate this template:

  • Template URL: https://notion.notion.site/code-with-notion-board
  • Instruct them to duplicate the template to their workspace, by opening the link and clicking the duplicate button in the top bar (icon is two squares).
  • Once duplicated, have them share the URL of their new board -- tell them to click the share button in the top-right and then Copy Link.

Option 2: Use an Existing Board

If the user already has a Notion board they want to use:

  • Ask them to provide the URL to their existing board
  • Use the Notion MCP tools to inspect the board structure and then help them modify the board to make it ready for the tasks commands. The board needs to have:
  • A status property with Planning, In Progress and Done
  • An "Agent status" text property for the agent to report its current activities
  • An "Agent blocked" checkbox property for the agent to notify the user when it's blocked on user input

After Setup

Once the user has a board configured:

1. Confirm you can access it via the Notion MCP 2. Let them know they can now use `/notion:tasks:plan` and `/notion:tasks:build` to build a specific task

Remember: Be conversational and helpful. This is a setup wizard, not a one-shot command.
