agency-os

Notion-as-source-of-truth dispatch board. One Tasks database, one Hub page, one page per Corpus, one page each for General Guidance and Resources. The skill mutates Notion via the Notion MCP (mcp__*__notion-* tools); only references/notion-pointers.json is committed to git.

Skill name decision: the skill is named agency-os (matching the repo). All commands are /agency-os <cmd>. This is the single plugin entry point; there is no agency-os/notion sub-namespace. If you embed this plugin alongside others, prefix commands with agency-os to avoid collisions.

Overview

agency-os turns a single Notion database into a multi-status dispatch board for AI work. The model is intentionally narrow:

  • One Tasks database is the source of truth for status, priority, model selection, and ownership. No parallel kanban tools.
  • One Hub page holds the General Guidance, Resources, and Corpus pointers that every task consults.
  • Tasks flow through five statuses: Suggestion → Discussion → To-Do → In Progress → Done. The dedup gate at each transition prevents accidental re-execution.
  • run fans approved To-Do rows out to parallel agents. Each task carries its own model selection (Haiku for cheap fan-out, Sonnet for default, Opus for hard reasoning) and respects declared dependencies.

The skill is stateless on disk — the only committed artifact is references/notion-pointers.json (database/page IDs). All runtime state lives in Notion.

For the full architecture (status flow, sync protocol, workspace structure, pointer/cache format), see references/architecture.md.

Prerequisites

  • Notion MCP server installed: npx -y @notionhq/notion-mcp-server (declare in .mcp.json)
  • Notion integration token (NOTION_TOKEN) with read+write access to your workspace. Add .env to .gitignore — never commit the token.
  • A Notion Tasks database with the columns the skill expects (see references/architecture.md § "Workspace structure" for the schema). The /agency-os init command can scaffold this for you.
  • Python 3 for the optional scripts/query-tasks.py helper.

First-time setup:

ccpi install agency-os
# then in Claude Code:
/agency-os init --harness=basic --haiku=cost-tier --sonnet=default --opus=hard-reasoning

Instructions

The skill is a CLI surface over Notion. Three usage patterns:

  1. Direct command invocation/agency-os <cmd> [args]. See references/commands.md for the full reference of 19 commands (init, scaffold, suggest, discuss, log, add-subtask, approve, start, refresh, run, done, kill, next, status, list, show, update, move, plus launch alias).

  2. Natural-language driving — the skill translates conversational chat into the corresponding command. Examples in references/natural-language.md.

  3. Batch execution/agency-os run [--go] fans the entire To-Do queue out to parallel agents with per-task model selection. See ## Examples below for the canonical flow.

Status flow is enforced — you cannot skip a stage. Every command performs a sync preflight to ensure your local view of Notion is current (see references/architecture.md § "Sync — preflight on every command").

When drafting any user-facing copy (READMEs, blog posts, launch surfaces), apply the positioning brief at references/positioning.md before writing.

Output

Every command returns to chat with:

  • Verdict line✅ <action> or ⚠️ <reason> (one line, scannable)
  • Affected task IDs and titles — every task touched, with its new status
  • Next-action hint — what command the operator would typically run next

Batch run additionally emits:

  • A per-task pass/fail table
  • Total model spend estimate (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus call counts)
  • Outstanding-dependency callouts for tasks that couldn't start

Error Handling

The skill fails closed on five well-defined cases (full details in references/architecture.md § "Status flow — the dedup gate"):

Condition Behavior
Notion API auth fails Halt, print "NOTION_TOKEN missing or invalid", exit 1
Database/page ID drift (pointers stale) Halt, print "Run /agency-os refresh", exit 1
Status-flow violation (e.g. approve on a Suggestion) Halt with the required prerequisite step quoted
Dependency cycle detected during run Halt, list the cycle, exit 1
Task missing required model selection Halt, print "Run /agency-os update <id> --model <tier>"

The skill never silently corrects state in Notion — every fix is an explicit command the operator must run.

Examples

Capture a chat insight as a Suggestion:

User: add a suggestion: refactor the auth flow to use the new token cache
Skill: → /agency-os suggest "refactor the auth flow to use the new token cache"
       ✅ Created Suggestion #t-2026-05-23-001 in corpus "platform"
       Next: /agency-os discuss t-2026-05-23-001

Approve and run a batch:

User: approve t-2026-05-23-{001..003} then run the queue
Skill: ✅ Approved 3 tasks → To-Do
       /agency-os run --go
       → fanning to 3 parallel agents...
       ✅ Done: 2 | ⚠️ Blocked on deps: 1 | Total spend: ~$0.04
