name: notion-clipper-skill description: Clip web pages to Notion. Fetches any URL via Chrome CDP, converts HTML to Markdown, then to Notion blocks, and saves to user-specified Notion database or page. Use when user wants to save/clip a webpage to Notion, or mentions "clip to notion", "save page to notion", "網頁剪藏到Notion".

Notion Clipper

Clip any web page to Notion. Uses Chrome CDP for full JavaScript rendering, converts to Markdown, then to Notion blocks.

Prerequisites

1. Notion API Key: Create an integration at https://notion.so/my-integrations
2. Store the key:

mkdir -p ~/.config/notion
echo "ntn_your_key_here" > ~/.config/notion/api_key

1. Share target database/page with your integration (click "..." → "Connect to" → your integration name)

First Time Setup

Dependencies are auto-installed when the script runs. No manual setup needed.

Agent Execution Instructions

CRITICAL: Always use the command pattern below. It auto-installs dependencies on first run.

1. Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as SKILL_DIR
2. Command pattern (package.json in scripts/; always run lazy install first):

(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && npx -y tsx main.ts <args>)

1. Replace ${SKILL_DIR} with the actual path (e.g. /Users/xxx/.claude/skills/notion-clipper-skill)

Usage

IMPORTANT - Use this command pattern for best results:

# Recommended: Clear proxy env vars and use tsx runtime
(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && unset http_proxy https_proxy all_proxy && npx -y tsx main.ts <url> --database-name "Resources")

Why this pattern? - unset http_proxy https_proxy all_proxy - Avoids ECONNREFUSED from proxy conflicts - tsx runtime - Node.js runtime that properly handles direct connections (bun has proxy issues) - (test -d node_modules || npm install) - Auto-installs dependencies if missing

If you encounter network issues: 1. Close any VPN/proxy software 2. Switch to a stable network (mobile hotspot often works) 3. Use the recommended command pattern above

# Clip to a Notion database by NAME (recommended - searches for database)
(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && npx -y tsx main.ts <url> --database-name "Resource")

# Clip to a Notion database by ID
(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && npx -y tsx main.ts <url> --database <database_id>)

# Clip to an existing page (appends blocks)
(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && npx -y tsx main.ts <url> --page <page_id>)

# List all accessible databases
(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && npx -y tsx main.ts --list-databases)

# For pages requiring login (wait mode)
(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && npx -y tsx main.ts <url> --database-name "Resource" --wait)

Options

Capture Modes

Wait mode workflow: 1. Run with --wait → Chrome opens, script outputs "Press Enter when ready" 2. Log in or navigate as needed in the browser 3. Press Enter in terminal to trigger capture

Output Structure

When saving to a database, creates a new page with: - Name: Page title - URL: Source URL (if database has URL property) - Content: Bookmark block + converted content blocks

When appending to a page, adds: - Bookmark block (link to source) - Divider - Converted content blocks

Database Setup

For best results, create a Notion database with these properties: - Name (Title) - Required, will contain page title - URL (URL) - Optional, will contain source URL

Examples

Clip a tweet to "Resource" database (by name):

(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && unset http_proxy https_proxy all_proxy && npx -y tsx main.ts "https://x.com/dotey/status/123456" -n "Resource")

List all databases first:

(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && unset http_proxy https_proxy all_proxy && npx -y tsx main.ts --list-databases)

Clip article requiring login:

(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && unset http_proxy https_proxy all_proxy && npx -y tsx main.ts "https://medium.com/article" -n "Reading" --wait)

Append to reading notes page:

(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && (test -d node_modules || npm install) && unset http_proxy https_proxy all_proxy && npx -y tsx main.ts "https://blog.example.com/post" -p xyz789)

Quick alias (add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc):

alias notion-clip='(cd "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts" && unset http_proxy https_proxy all_proxy && npx -y tsx main.ts)'

# Usage: notion-clip <url> -n "Resources"

How It Works

1. Fetch: Launch Chrome via CDP, navigate to URL
2. Render: Wait for JavaScript to execute, scroll to trigger lazy loading
3. Extract: Run cleanup script to remove ads/nav, extract main content
4. Convert: HTML → Markdown → Notion blocks
5. Save: Call Notion API to create page or append blocks

Dependencies

• Chrome/Chromium browser (installed locally)
• Node.js (script runs with tsx; Bun may route through proxy and return empty body, use Node)
• Notion API key configured

(Other dependencies auto-install on first run.)

Environment Variables

Example (proxy on port 7890):

export https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890 http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7890 all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:7890

Troubleshooting

Network Issues

Best Practice: For reliable Notion API access, use a stable network (mobile hotspot often works better than corporate VPN).

Content Issues

Note: The script automatically removes these invalid URL types: - javascript:, data:, file:, about: protocols - WeChat internal links (weixin:, wx://) - Relative paths (/path, ./path) - Hash-only links (#anchor) - Empty links

General Issues

• Chrome not found: Set NOTION_CLIPPER_CHROME_PATH environment variable
• Timeout errors: Increase --timeout value or use --wait mode
• Content missing: Try --wait mode for dynamic/lazy-loaded pages
• Notion API error (401/403): Check API key validity and integration permissions
• Notion API error: Ensure integration has access to target database/page

Code Optimizations Applied

The following optimizations have been implemented to handle unstable networks and invalid URLs:

1. Auto-retry mechanism: Up to 6 retries with exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s → 4s...)

   想要更強大的技能外掛，就來小蔥技能站7w4.net看看吧。

2. Increased timeout: 30s for Notion API requests (was 25s)
3. URL cleaning: Removes invalid URLs before Notion API submission
4. Using tsx: Node.js runtime that properly handles direct connections (unlike Bun)

這個 Skill 質量不錯，能可靠地將網頁內容剪藏到 Notion 中。它對網路問題處理得當，有完善的錯誤重試機制，文件詳細易懂。優點是支援登入頁面、自動滾動載入、多種儲存方式（資料庫/頁面）。不足之處是儲存後連結資訊會丟失，圖片只能顯示連結而無法離線檢視，需要網路才能訪問。總體來說功能實用，穩定性好，適合日常使用。
