Best use case

notion-spec-to-implementation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Turn Notion specs into implementation plans, tasks, and progress tracking; use when implementing PRDs/feature specs and creating Notion plans + tasks from them.

Teams using notion-spec-to-implementation should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Spec to Implementation

Convert a Notion spec into linked implementation plans, tasks, and ongoing status updates.

## Quick start
1) Locate the spec with `Notion:notion-search`, then fetch it with `Notion:notion-fetch`.
2) Parse requirements and ambiguities using `reference/spec-parsing.md`.
3) Create a plan page with `Notion:notion-create-pages` (pick a template: quick vs. full).
4) Find the task database, confirm schema, then create tasks with `Notion:notion-create-pages`.
5) Link spec ↔ plan ↔ tasks; keep status current with `Notion:notion-update-page`.

## Workflow

### 0) If Notion tools are unavailable, pause and ask the user to connect the Notion app:
1. Enable the bundled Notion app for this plugin or session.
2. Complete the Notion auth flow if Codex prompts for it.
3. Restart Codex or the current session if the tools still do not appear.

After the app is connected, finish your answer and tell the user to retry so they can continue with Step 1.

### 1) Locate and read the spec
- Search first (`Notion:notion-search`); if multiple hits, ask the user which to use.
- Fetch the page (`Notion:notion-fetch`) and scan for requirements, acceptance criteria, constraints, and priorities. See `reference/spec-parsing.md` for extraction patterns.
- Capture gaps/assumptions in a clarifications block before proceeding.

### 2) Choose plan depth
- Simple change → use `reference/quick-implementation-plan.md`.
- Multi-phase feature/migration → use `reference/standard-implementation-plan.md`.
- Create the plan via `Notion:notion-create-pages`, include: overview, linked spec, requirements summary, phases, dependencies/risks, and success criteria. Link back to the spec.

### 3) Create tasks
- Find the task database (`Notion:notion-search` → `Notion:notion-fetch` to confirm the data source and required properties). Patterns in `reference/task-creation.md`.
- Size tasks to 1–2 days. Use `reference/task-creation-template.md` for content (context, objective, acceptance criteria, dependencies, resources).
- Set properties: title/action verb, status, priority, relations to spec + plan, due date/story points/assignee if provided.
- Create pages with `Notion:notion-create-pages` using the database’s `data_source_id`.

### 4) Link artifacts
- Plan links to spec; tasks link to both plan and spec.
- Optionally update the spec with a short “Implementation” section pointing to the plan and tasks using `Notion:notion-update-page`.

### 5) Track progress
- Use the cadence in `reference/progress-tracking.md`.
- Post updates with `reference/progress-update-template.md`; close phases with `reference/milestone-summary-template.md`.
- Keep checklists and status fields in plan/tasks in sync; note blockers and decisions.

## References and examples
- `reference/` — parsing patterns, plan/task templates, progress cadence (e.g., `spec-parsing.md`, `standard-implementation-plan.md`, `task-creation.md`, `progress-tracking.md`).
- `examples/` — end-to-end walkthroughs (e.g., `ui-component.md`, `api-feature.md`, `database-migration.md`).
