About notion-apps
notion-apps is a skill for building Notion Apps with the Notion CLI and SDK. It guides agents through alpha-access checks, project scaffolding, and following generated project guidance.
Key features
- 01Confirm alpha access before app work
- 02Check and install the Notion CLI
- 03Scaffold projects with dependencies and Git
- 04Read generated AGENTS.md guidance
Use cases
- 01Check eligibility before starting an App project
- 02Create a new Notion App project
- 03Continue implementation using project-specific guidance

Confirm alpha access
Before running commands or inspecting an App project, ask the user to confirm that they are in the Notion Apps alpha. CLI authentication, an enabled CLI experiment, or a locally working SDK does not confirm alpha access. If the user says no or cannot confirm, explain that SDK code may build locally but deployment requires alpha access, and stop the App workflow.
Set up and scaffold
After alpha access is confirmed, check that the Notion CLI is installed with
ntn --version. If it is missing, install it using the command for the user's
platform:
# macOS and Linux
curl -fsSL https://ntn.dev | bash
# Windows
winget install Notion.ntn
Scaffold a fresh App project with dependencies installed and Git initialized:
ntn apps new --install --git <app-directory>
Always pass an explicit destination. Agents cannot use the CLI's interactive
directory prompt. Use . when the current directory is empty and is an appropriate
project root; otherwise infer a suitable directory from the user's request or
surrounding context. If no safe destination can be inferred, ask where the project
should go before scaffolding. If the apps command is unavailable, enable it with
ntn experiments enable apps and retry.
Once the project is instantiated, work from its root and read its AGENTS.md
completely. That file contains the App design, implementation, capability, and
deployment guidance for the generated project. Follow it and the installed SDK's
version-specific guidance for the rest of the task.
