Research & Documentation

Enables comprehensive research workflows: search for information across your Notion workspace, fetch and analyze relevant pages, synthesize findings, and create well-structured documentation.

Quick Start

When asked to research and document a topic:

1. Search for relevant content: Use Notion:notion-search to find pages
2. Fetch detailed information: Use Notion:notion-fetch to read full page content
3. Synthesize findings: Analyze and combine information from multiple sources
4. Create structured output: Use Notion:notion-create-pages to write documentation

Research Workflow

Step 1: Search for relevant information

Use Notion:notion-search with the research topic
Filter by teamspace if scope is known
Review search results to identify most relevant pages

Step 2: Fetch page content

Use Notion:notion-fetch for each relevant page URL
Collect content from all relevant sources
Note key findings, quotes, and data points

Step 3: Synthesize findings

Analyze the collected information:

• Identify key themes and patterns
• Connect related concepts across sources
• Note gaps or conflicting information
• Organize findings logically

Step 4: Create structured documentation

Use the appropriate documentation template (see reference/format-selection-guide.md) to structure output:

• Clear title and executive summary
• Well-organized sections with headings
• Citations linking back to source pages
• Actionable conclusions or next steps

Output Formats

Choose the appropriate format based on request:

Research Summary: See reference/research-summary-format.md Comprehensive Report: See reference/comprehensive-report-format.md Quick Brief: See reference/quick-brief-format.md

Best Practices

1. Cast a wide net first: Start with broad searches, then narrow down
2. Cite sources: Always link back to source pages using mentions
3. Verify recency: Check page last-edited dates for current information
4. Cross-reference: Validate findings across multiple sources
5. Structure clearly: Use headings, bullets, and formatting for readability

Page Placement

By default, create research documents as standalone pages. If the user specifies:

• A parent page → use page_id parent
• A database → fetch the database first, then use appropriate data_source_id
• A teamspace → create in that context

Advanced Features

Search filtering: See reference/advanced-search.md Citation styles: See reference/citations.md

Common Issues

"No results found": Try broader search terms or different teamspaces "Too many results": Add filters or search within specific pages "Can't access page": User may lack permissions, ask them to verify access
