notion-write-prd

name	notion-write-prd
description	Creates or idempotently updates a PRD as a page in the configured Notion PRD database, setting the lifecycle Status property to the draft value by default (or the ready value when initial_role is ready so lisa:notion-prd-intake auto-claims it). The Notion PRD-source writer behind lisa:prd-source-write. Dedupes by a stable marker embedded in the page (matched by marker, never by title). All Notion access goes through lisa:notion-access — never call the Notion API or MCP directly.

Write Notion PRD: $ARGUMENTS

Create (or update) a PRD page in the configured Notion PRD database. Invoked by lisa:prd-source-write when source = notion; do not call directly from a vendor-neutral caller. All Notion operations go through lisa:notion-access (the access chokepoint) — never curl the Notion API or call a mcp__*notion* tool yourself.

$ARGUMENTS carries the lisa:prd-source-write spec: title, body (full PRD markdown), initial_role (draft | ready, default draft), dedupe_key, marker, optional source_ref.

Phase 1 — Resolve database + Status vocabulary

read_g() { local lv gv; lv=$(jq -r "$1 // empty" .lisa.config.local.json 2>/dev/null); gv=$(jq -r "$1 // empty" .lisa.config.json 2>/dev/null); echo "${lv:-${gv:-$2}}"; }
PRD_DB=$(read_g '.notion.prdDatabaseId' '')
[ -z "$PRD_DB" ] && { echo "Error: notion.prdDatabaseId not set in .lisa.config.json."; exit 1; }
STATUS_PROP=$(read_g '.notion.statusProperty' 'Status')
# Resolve the FULL PRD Status vocabulary from config (never hard-code) so the past-ready check is
# correct even when a project renamed any Status value.
DRAFT=$(read_g '.notion.values.draft' 'Draft')
READY=$(read_g '.notion.values.ready' 'Ready')
IN_REVIEW=$(read_g '.notion.values.in_review' 'In Review')
BLOCKED=$(read_g '.notion.values.blocked' 'Blocked')
TICKETED=$(read_g '.notion.values.ticketed' 'Ticketed')
SHIPPED=$(read_g '.notion.values.shipped' 'Shipped')
VERIFIED=$(read_g '.notion.values.verified' 'Verified')
# "Progressed past ready" set (never down-rank): the resolved in_review/blocked/ticketed/shipped/verified.
PROGRESSED=("$IN_REVIEW" "$BLOCKED" "$TICKETED" "$SHIPPED" "$VERIFIED")

Resolve the target Status value from initial_role: ready → $READY, otherwise $DRAFT.

Phase 2 — Dedupe by marker (search before create)

The marker is embedded in the page (as the first body block). Find an existing PRD page in the DB carrying it — match the marker, never the title:

1. lisa:notion-access operation: search query: "<marker>" (Notion indexes page content).
2. Filter results to pages whose parent is $PRD_DB. If source_ref was passed, target that page directly and skip the search.
3. If a matching page is found, this is an update — reuse it. If none is found, create. Note: Notion search is eventually consistent; if a just-created page isn't found yet, the marker still lives in the page so a later run will dedupe — surface "dedupe degraded (search lag)" rather than silently creating a duplicate when uncertain.

Phase 3 — Create or update

Markdown → Notion blocks (conversion boundary). Convert the PRD markdown to Notion block objects: #/##/### → heading_1/2/3, paragraphs → paragraph, -/* → bulleted_list_item, 1. → numbered_list_item, fenced code → code. The Notion API caps a single request at 100 blocks and ~2000 characters of rich text per block: split long paragraphs across blocks, and if the PRD exceeds 100 blocks, create the page with the first ≤100 blocks then add the remainder with batched operation: append-blocks calls (≤100 each). When the MCP substrate is active, create-page may accept the markdown content directly (it performs this conversion) — prefer that; the explicit block conversion is the curl-substrate path.

Marker + usage-ledger preservation (both paths). The page must always carry exactly one marker. On CREATE the marker is the first body block; on UPDATE never remove it. Never write a markerless body. Never write a markerless page. If the existing page content already contains the canonical managed ## Lisa Usage section, preserve that section when regenerating the page body unless the caller intentionally supplied an updated canonical section; use the shared usage-accounting serializer/merge path rather than freehand block edits to ledger rows.

CREATE:

1. Build the page body as Notion blocks per the conversion above: the first block is the marker (a paragraph/callout containing <!-- $MARKER -->), then the converted PRD blocks.
2. Invoke lisa:notion-access operation: create-page with:

   { "parent_database_id": "<PRD_DB>",
     "properties": { "<title-prop>": { "title": [{ "text": { "content": "<TITLE>" } }] },
                     "<STATUS_PROP>": { "status": { "name": "<ROLE_VALUE>" } } },
     "children": [ <marker block>, <PRD body blocks> ] }
   

   Use the DB's actual title property name (read it via operation: read-database id: <PRD_DB> if unknown) and the correct property type for $STATUS_PROP (status vs ).

UPDATE (existing page or source_ref):

1. Set the Status to the resolved role via lisa:notion-access operation: write-page payload: { "id": "<page-id>", "properties": { "<STATUS_PROP>": { "status": { "name": "<ROLE_VALUE>" } } } } — unless the page's current Status is in the resolved ${PROGRESSED[@]} set (already past ready), in which case leave the Status and report reused (already past ready).
2. Refresh the canonical spec, not append-only notes: keep the existing marker block, then make the managed PRD body current — archive the previously generated body blocks below the marker (operation: archive-page is page-level, so for blocks delete via the blocks API through notion-access or, where block deletion isn't available, replace their text in place) and operation: append-blocks the regenerated blocks. Do not duplicate the whole spec as a dated note, and never drop the marker or an existing managed ## Lisa Usage section.

Phase 4 — Return

ref: "<notion-page-id>"
url: "<page url>"
role: draft | ready          # (or the page's current Status role when reused past ready)
marker: "<MARKER>"
outcome: created | reused

Rules

• All access via lisa:notion-access; never touch the Notion API/MCP directly.
• Match dedupe by marker, never by title.
• Preserve an existing canonical ## Lisa Usage section on update; never append a second usage section or silently drop ledger rows.
• Never down-rank a PRD whose Status is already past ready.
• Resolve the Status vocabulary from config (notion.statusProperty, notion.values.*) — never hardcode value names.
