# Notion Workspace Database Designer

Design a Notion database with the right properties, views, and relations for how your team actually works.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **What the database tracks** (free text, e.g. "client projects")
- **Who uses it** (choose one: Just me, A small team, A whole company, External clients too)
- **Items added per week** (choose one: Under 10, 10-50, 50-200, 200+)
- **Existing tools it must play nice with** (choose any: Slack, Google Calendar, GitHub, Jira, Figma, Nothing else)
- **What goes wrong today** (longer free text)
- **Include relation and rollup properties** (choose one: Yes, No)

## Prompt template

## Notion Workspace Database Designer

Design a Notion database setup I can build in under an hour.

- What the database tracks: {{What the database tracks}}
- Who uses it: {{Who uses it}}
- Items added per week: {{Items added per week}}
- Existing tools it must play nice with: {{Existing tools it must play nice with}}
- What goes wrong today: {{What goes wrong today}}
- Include relation and rollup properties {{Include relation and rollup properties}}

Give me: a property list with exact Notion property types, 3-4 saved views (with their filters, sorts, and grouping), any relation/rollup setup, and one automation or template button worth adding. Finish with the two properties most teams add later and regret not having from day one.
