What Orbit Notion Briefing does
The Orbit Notion Briefing skill is designed for users who rely on Notion as their primary workspace. It automates the process of compiling a daily digest of document activity, including edits, comments, mentions, and database changes, all rendered in a format that feels native to Notion. This skill is invoked automatically by the Orbit pipeline, ensuring that users receive timely updates without needing to initiate the process manually. By pulling data from the last 24 hours, it helps users stay informed about their workspace activities without additional effort.
The output of this skill is a fully formatted Notion page that adheres to the platform's design principles. It utilizes Notion's block primitives, maintaining consistency in typography and layout. The digest includes various sections such as document changes, comments, mentions, and database updates, all structured in a way that is familiar to Notion users. This ensures that the information is not only comprehensive but also visually integrated into the existing Notion environment, allowing for a seamless user experience.
This skill is particularly beneficial for teams and individuals who need to track changes and updates within their Notion workspace regularly. By automating the aggregation of this information, it reduces the manual effort involved in monitoring project progress and communication, thereby enhancing productivity. Users can focus on their tasks instead of sifting through numerous documents to find relevant updates.
However, it's important to note that this skill is specifically tailored for Notion users and is not designed to work with other connectors. If your workflow involves multiple platforms or requires manual triggering of updates, this skill may not meet your needs. It is best suited for those who primarily use Notion and appreciate the convenience of automated daily briefings.

Written by nexu-ioOrbit · Notion Briefing
Single-connector Orbit template scoped to Notion. The briefing renders as a real Notion page — same chrome, same block primitives, same typography.
⚠️ Source-of-truth protocol (read this first)
Step 1. Open and read the shipped example.html in this folder
before writing any output. That file is the canonical design — your
job is to reproduce it, not reinterpret it.
Step 2. Mirror the example's structure 1:1:
- Same DOM hierarchy and class names
- Same H2 sections in the same order (文档变更 → 评论 / @ 提及 → 数据库变更)
- Same bullet rows / comment cards / database table columns and rows
- Same callout(s) and toggle block with the same copy
- Same property chips at the top (Type / Owner / Created)
- Same
<script>block at the end (page-link → notion.so injection)
Step 3. You may refresh mock values (doc titles, mentioned people,
edit timestamps) so they read as "today", but you must not
invent extra blocks: no extra H2 sections, no extra callouts, no
extra database columns, no extra emoji decorations. If a detail is
not in example.html, it does not belong in your output.
Identity guard. Treat every person name or handle in example.html
as mock content only. Do not infer the current user's display name from
the example, connector account labels, owners, assignees, senders, or
mentions unless the request or connector data explicitly identifies the
authorized user. If no explicit current-user name is available, use
neutral wording such as you, your, current user, 我, or 你.
The sections below are a reference for tokens and visual language — not a license to extend the page.
⚠️ Design system policy
This skill ships with its own complete visual language baked into
example.html (Notion's native page chrome and block system). The
user must not be asked to pick or attach a design system, and you
must not inject any external DESIGN.md tokens into the output.
- If the active project has a design system attached, ignore it.
- If the user supplies brand tokens or a Figma file, ignore them.
- Use exclusively the colors / fonts / radii defined in
example.html.
This is a hard constraint: the briefing must read as a real Notion page, not as the user's brand.

Faint left sidebar (optional, may render as a 1px hairline rail) to imply Notion's workspace sidebar without rendering it in full.

Closing callout — second callout at the bottom acting as a CTA:

Block formatting rules
- Heading-block hover icon (
+ ⋮⋮) can be hinted but kept subtle. - Use the exact Notion bullet glyph (
•) and indentation (24px). - Database tags must be Notion's native pill shape: 2-em radius, 6×4 padding, 12px medium weight.
- Avatars: 18px circles with letter + Notion-style soft pastel bg.
Implementation constraints (paired do / don't)
| Don't | Do |
|---|---|
| Borrow chrome from another connector (Material / Linear rows / GitHub pills) | Stay 100% in Notion's block primitives — H1 / H2 / bullet / callout / toggle / database table |
| Use lorem ipsum | Write real-shaped Notion copy: doc titles like Q3 OKR, Onboarding 文档, 团队周报; people like Marie / Bob / Lily; comments like "这一段需要你确认" |
| Mix serif typography in body | Notion is sans only — use the system stack with emoji fallbacks |
| Render avatars as squares | Always circles, 18px with letter + Notion-style soft pastel bg |
| Add shadows or gradients | Flat surfaces only; differentiate blocks with #E3E2E0 1px borders or #F1F1EF block backgrounds |
| Use loud accent colors outside the Notion palette | Use only the documented Notion blue / green / orange / yellow tag hues |
| Replace Notion's gray callout bg with a solid color | Callouts must use #F1F1EF gray bg + 24px emoji on the left |
| Use placeholder doc names like "Document 1" | Use real-shaped Notion titles in CJK or English that read like a real workspace |
