tasks-setup configures a Notion task board for cursor-notion-plugin task skills.

About

The tasks-setup skill guides users through configuring a Notion workspace for task skills in the cursor-notion-plugin. Option one duplicates the code-with-notion-board template from notion.notion.site, instructing users to click duplicate in the top bar and share the copied link. Option two connects an existing board by URL, using Notion MCP to inspect structure and verify properties such as Status and Title, suggesting additions when fields are missing. After setup it confirms MCP access and points users to tasks-build and tasks-explain-diff skills. The flow is conversational like a setup wizard rather than a one-shot command. Use before create-task, tasks-build, or tasks-plan when no task database is configured yet.

  • Offers template duplicate or existing board connection paths.
  • Verifies task database properties via Notion MCP inspection.
  • Shares template URL for code-with-notion-board onboarding.
  • Confirms MCP access before other task skills run.
  • Conversational wizard style for first-time task board setup.

Notion Task Board Setup

Help the user set up their Notion workspace to work with the task skills in this plugin.

Setup Options

Option 1: Use a Template

If the user wants to start fresh:

1. Point them to duplicate this template: https://notion.notion.site/code-with-notion-board 2. 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). 3. 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:

1. Ask them to provide the URL to their existing board 2. Use the Notion MCP tools to inspect the board structure 3. Verify it has the necessary properties for task management (e.g., Status, Title, etc.) 4. If properties are missing, suggest what they should add

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 other skills:

  • tasks-build to build a specific task
  • tasks-explain-diff to generate documentation for code changes

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