Use this skill when users request to 'update a Notion page with information from a document' or need to synchronize content between documents and Notion workspaces.

# Skill: Notion Page Content Updater
## Purpose
Update a specified Notion page with structured content extracted from a source document (e.g., Word, PDF, text). This skill automates the end-to-end process of finding the page, reading the document, parsing its content, and updating the Notion page's blocks accordingly.
## Core Workflow
Follow these steps precisely:
1. **Clarify Request & Identify Target:** Confirm the exact name of the Notion page to update and the path/filename of the source document.
2. **Locate the Notion Page:**
* Use `notion-API-post-search` with the exact page name. If no results, search more broadly (e.g., partial name) or use an empty query `{}` to list all pages/databases.
* From the search results, identify the correct page by its `title` property. Note its `id`.
3. **Extract Source Content:**
* Use the appropriate tool (`word-get_document_text`, `pdf-get_document_text`, `filesystem-read_file`) to read the source document's full text.
4. **Analyze Page Structure & Plan Updates:**
* Retrieve the current page structure using `notion-API-get-block-children` with the page ID.
* Analyze the returned blocks to identify the target sections (e.g., headings for "About Me", "Paintings"). Note the block IDs that come **immediately before** where new content should be inserted.
* Parse the extracted document text to identify the relevant content for each target section.
5. **Execute Page Updates (Section by Section):**
* **For placeholder content:** If a section contains placeholder text (e.g., `[Birth, Your education...]`), delete the old block using `notion-API-delete-a-block`.
* **To add new content after a heading/block:** Use `notion-API-patch-block-children`. Specify the page ID as `block_id`, use the `after` parameter with the ID of the heading block, and provide the new content in the `children` array.
* **Structure the content appropriately:** Use `paragraph` blocks for descriptive text and `bulleted_list_item` blocks for lists.
* Process one major section at a time (e.g., About Me, then Paintings, then Workshop, etc.).
6. **Verify & Conclude:** After all updates, retrieve the page children again to confirm the changes. Provide a clear summary of what was updated.
## Critical Implementation Notes
* **Block Update Limitation:** The `notion-API-update-a-block` endpoint has very limited functionality and often cannot be used to change a block's type or rich text content. The primary method for adding content is `patch-block-children`.
* **Content Chunking:** Notion API calls have size limits. Break long document text into logical paragraphs when creating `children` arrays.
* **Special Characters:** Escape quotation marks and newlines (`\n`) properly in JSON payloads for block content.
* **Error Handling:** If a search finds multiple pages with similar names, ask the user for clarification. If a section heading doesn't exist on the target page, you may need to create it first.
## Required Tools
* `notion-API-post-search`
* `notion-API-get-block-children`
* `notion-API-patch-block-children`
* `notion-API-delete-a-block`
* `word-get_document_text` / `pdf-get_document_text` / `filesystem-read_file`
* `local-claim_done`
## Example Trajectory Pattern
The provided trajectory is a canonical example. Follow its pattern: search, extract, analyze structure, then sequentially update sections using `patch-block-children` after relevant headings.
