Spec to Implementation

Convert a Notion spec into linked implementation plans, tasks, and ongoing status updates.

Quick start

1. Locate the spec with Notion:notion-search, then fetch it with Notion:notion-fetch.
2. Parse requirements and ambiguities using reference/spec-parsing.md.
3. Create a plan page with Notion:notion-create-pages (pick a template: quick vs. full).
4. Find the task database, confirm schema, then create tasks with Notion:notion-create-pages.
5. Link spec ↔ plan ↔ tasks; keep status current with Notion:notion-update-page.

Workflow

0) If any MCP call fails because Notion MCP is not connected, pause and set it up:

1. Add the Notion MCP:
   • codex mcp add notion --url https://mcp.notion.com/mcp
2. Enable remote MCP client:
   • Set [features].rmcp_client = true in config.toml or run codex --enable rmcp_client
3. Log in with OAuth:
   • codex mcp login notion

After successful login, the user will have to restart codex. You should finish your answer and tell them so when they try again they can continue with Step 1.

1) Locate and read the spec

• Search first (Notion:notion-search); if multiple hits, ask the user which to use.
• Fetch the page (Notion:notion-fetch) and scan for requirements, acceptance criteria, constraints, and priorities. See reference/spec-parsing.md for extraction patterns.
• Capture gaps/assumptions in a clarifications block before proceeding.

2) Choose plan depth

• Simple change → use reference/quick-implementation-plan.md.

3) Create tasks

4) Link artifacts

5) Track progress
