Knowledge Capture
Transforms conversations, discussions, and insights into structured documentation in your Notion workspace. Captures knowledge from chat context, formats it appropriately, and saves it to the right location with proper organization and linking.
Quick Start
When asked to save information to Notion:
- Extract content: Identify key information from conversation context
- Structure information: Organize into appropriate documentation format
- Determine location: Use
Notion:notion-search to find appropriate wiki page/database
- Create page: Use
Notion:notion-create-pages to save content
- Make discoverable: Link from relevant hub pages, add to databases, or update wiki navigation so others can find it
Knowledge Capture Workflow
Step 1: Identify content to capture
From conversation context, extract:
- Key concepts and definitions
- Decisions made and rationale
- How-to information and procedures
- Important insights or learnings
- Q&A pairs
- Examples and use cases
Step 2: Determine content type
Classify the knowledge:
- Concept/Definition
- How-to Guide
- Decision Record
- FAQ Entry
- Meeting Summary
- Learning/Post-mortem
- Reference Documentation
Step 3: Structure the content
Format appropriately based on content type:
- Use templates for consistency
- Add clear headings and sections
- Include examples where helpful
- Add relevant metadata
- Link to related pages
Step 4: Determine destination
Where to save:
- Wiki page (general knowledge base)
- Specific project page (project-specific knowledge)
- Documentation database (structured docs)
- FAQ database (questions and answers)
- Decision log (architecture/product decisions)
- Team wiki (team-specific knowledge)
Step 5: Create the page
Use Notion:notion-create-pages:
- Set appropriate title
- Use structured content from template
- Set properties if in database
- Add tags/categories
- Link to related pages
Step 6: Make content discoverable
Link the new page so others can find it:
1. Update hub/index pages:
- Add link to wiki table of contents page
- Add link from relevant project page
- Add link from category/topic page (e.g., "Engineering Docs")
2. If page is in a database:
- Set appropriate tags/categories
- Set status (e.g., "Published")
- Add to relevant views
3. Optionally update parent page:
- If saved under a project, add to project's "Documentation" section
- If in team wiki, ensure it's linked from team homepage
Example:
Notion:notion-update-page
page_id: "team-wiki-homepage-id"
command: "insert_content_after"
selection_with_ellipsis: "## How-To Guides..."
new_str: "- <mention-page url='...'>How to Deploy to Production</mention-page>"
This step ensures the knowledge doesn't become "orphaned" - it's properly connected to your workspace's navigation structure.
Content Types
Choose appropriate structure based on content:
Concept: Overview → Definition → Characteristics → Examples → Use Cases → Related
How-To: Overview → Prerequisites → Steps (numbered) → Verification → Troubleshooting → Related
Decision: Context → Decision → Rationale → Options Considered → Consequences → Implementation
FAQ: Short Answer → Detailed Explanation → Examples → When to Use → Related Questions
Learning: What Happened → What Went Well → What Didn't → Root Causes → Learnings → Actions
Destination Patterns
General Wiki: Standalone page → add to index → tag → link from related pages
Project Wiki: Child of project page → link from project overview → tag with project name
Documentation Database: Use properties (Title, Type, Category, Tags, Last Updated, Owner)
Decision Log Database: Use properties (Decision, Date, Status, Domain, Deciders, Impact)
FAQ Database: Use properties (Question, Category, Tags, Last Reviewed, Useful Count)
See reference/database-best-practices.md for database selection guide and individual schema files.
Content Extraction from Conversations
Chat Discussion: Key points, conclusions, resources, action items, Q&A
Problem-Solving: Problem statement, approaches tried, solution, why it worked, future considerations
Knowledge Sharing: Concept explained, examples, best practices, common pitfalls, resources
Decision Discussion: Question, options, trade-offs, decision, rationale, next steps
Formatting Best Practices
Structure: Use # (title), ## (sections), ### (subsections) consistently
Writing: Start with overview, use bullets, keep paragraphs short, add examples
Linking: Link related pages, mention people, reference resources, create bidirectional links
Metadata: Include date, author, tags, status
Searchability: Clear titles, natural keywords, common search tags, image alt-text
Indexing and Organization
Wiki Index: Organize by s
