The Ultimate Guide To Notion Skills (2026)

About this tutorial

A skill in Notion is a page of reusable instructions for the agent. The word comes from Claude and Anthropic. Without skills, you re-explain the same job every chat.

Matthias frames skill writing as five levels, and says most people stall at 1 to 3.

Level 1 is no skills. Every prompt starts from zero.

Levels 2 and 3 are where people write a short instruction page and stop.

Level 4 is the knowledge: frameworks, principles, and the actual tools the work needs. He calls that about 80% of the value.

Level 5 is the missing 20%: structure and context so the skill is repeatable for a team, not a one-off prompt that only works in your chat.
