FAQPage Schema
How do I find unpublished Notion writing ideas ready to turn into blog posts?

Scan your Notion Writing database for unpublished items marked for blog destination with a filtering workflow. This Skill searches for items matching scope rules—excluding Published, Paused, Archived, or Migrated status—and surfaces candidates scored by readiness to draft, eliminating manual backlog sifting.

Can I automate finding TIL opportunities in Notion without manually reviewing every item?

Yes. This Skill automates Notion database scanning with scope rules applied: it filters by destination and status, fetches full metadata including title, description, type, and related topics, then scores items as Ready to draft or Need development, returning only actionable opportunities.

What metadata does the Skill pull from Notion to help decide if an item is ready to draft?

The Skill retrieves title, description, status, type, related Research and Questions, Topics, last edited date, and page content. It also checks whether items are already linked to Claude Drafts to avoid duplicate work, then scores readiness based on completeness and context.

How does the Skill decide which Notion items should skip the drafting workflow?

Items are skipped if their Status is Published, Paused, Archived, or Migrated; if Destination does not include blog; or if they're already linked to an existing Claude Draft. Only eligible, unlinked items receive scoring and readiness assessment.

What's the difference between items marked 'Ready to draft' and 'Need development' in the output?

Ready to draft items have sufficient metadata and context to begin writing immediately. Need development items require additional information, research, or outline work before drafting can proceed efficiently.

Do I need to set up database IDs and status values before running the Notion scan?

Yes. The Skill requires technical prerequisites: your Notion Writing database ID, valid status values (Published, Paused, Archived, Migrated), and relation checks configured to identify linked Claude Drafts and related metadata fields.
