If you keep giving your Notion AI agent the same prompt over and over — stop.

Notion has a feature called Skills. You write the prompt once, save it as a Skill, and use it anytime with one mention. No more retyping. No more copy-pasting from a notes app.

Here is how to create one. Two methods — both take under a minute.

Method 1 — Create a Skill From Any Page

This is the fastest way. You probably already have a page with a prompt you keep reusing.

Step 1 — Create or open a page with your prompt

Create a blank page (or open an existing one). Write the prompt you want the AI to follow every time.

Give it a clear name — something like "Write Tweet" or "Summarize Meeting Notes" — so you can find it easily later.

Step 2 — Turn it into a Skill

Click the ••• menu (top-right of the page) → Use with AI → Use as AI Skill.

That is it. The page is now a Skill.

Step 3 — Use it

Open a chat with your Notion AI agent and mention the Skill by name using @. The agent will follow the instructions on that Skill page.

You can also use it from the text editor — highlight any text, and your Skills will show up in the AI menu.

Method 2 — Create a Skill From Settings

If you want to manage all your Skills in one place, start here.

Step 1 — Open Settings

Go to Settings → Notion AI → scroll down to Skills.

Step 2 — Add a Skill

Click + Add a Skill.

You can either create a new Skill page (Notion gives you a template with sections like Overview, Skill definition, and Examples) or choose an existing page.

Step 3 — Write your Prompt

Fill in the Skill page with the prompt you want the AI to follow. Be as specific as you can — the clearer the instructions, the better the output.

Step 4 — Use it

Same as before — mention the Skill by name in chat using @, or use it from the text editor menu when you highlight text.

Managing Your Skills

All your Skills live in Settings → Notion AI → Skills.

From there you can:

• View all your existing Skills

• Open and edit any Skill page

• Choose which Skills appear in the text editor menu (toggle Add to text editor menu or Remove from text editor menu next to each one)

• 
  

Tips

• Keep each Skill focused on one task. "Write Tweet" is better than "Write Tweet and Thread and Article."

• Name them clearly. You will be mentioning them by name in chat — make it obvious what they do.

• Skills are just pages. Your whole team can see, use, and improve the same Skills.

• Skills work with Custom Agents too. An agent can reference a Skill page — so improving the Skill automatically improves the agent.

That is it. One page. One prompt. Reuse it forever.

Skills are one small piece. The real power is having a full system where your tasks, content, habits, and workflows all feed into each other.
