python scripts/record.py image [--caption "text"] "{file_path_or_url}"
python scripts/record.py undo
python scripts/check_config.py
python scripts/summary.py {monthly|quote}

Trigger Rules

Content types (prefix → type):

  • 日记: / 今天: / riji: / d → diary
  • 笔记: / 学习: / note: / n → note
  • 待办: / todo: / t → todo
  • done: / 完成: / → done
  • 想法: / 灵感: / idea: / flash: / 闪念: / i → idea
  • 问题: / 疑问: / q: → question
  • 摘抄: / quote: / qu: / z → quote
  • 链接: / link: / url: / l → link
  • 图片: / photo: / img: / p → image

Formats:

  • * text → H1 heading
  • ** text → H2 heading
  • *** text → H3 heading
  • > text → quote block
  • --- → divider
  • - text → bulleted list
  • 1. text / 2. text etc → numbered list
  • toggle: title + subsequent - / -- / --- lines → toggle block

Commands:

  • 月报 / monthly → extract current month records for summary
  • 摘抄 / 随机摘抄 → random historical entry
  • 搜: xxx / search: xxx → search records by keyword
  • 撤回 / undo → delete last batch of blocks (within 5 min window)
  • 配置检查 / check config → verify config

Smart detection (no prefix, AI infers):

  • Pure URL → link
  • Starts with YYYY-MM-DD → diary
  • Contains [ ] or 【 】 → todo
  • Default → idea

Metadata

Scan the LAST line for metadata:

  • #关键词 → tag
  • /p:项目名 → project
  • Remove metadata from content before passing to script

Batch & Undo

  • Multi-line messages: each format line (heading/quote/divider/list) becomes a separate block, sent in a single API call
  • Undo within 5 minutes: deletes all blocks from the last batch
  • Undo after 5 minutes: deletes only the last single block
  • Day separator: a divider is auto-inserted when the last record is from a different day

Output Protocol

Scripts emit standardized output prefixes:

  • OK|message → success, relay success message to user
  • ERROR|CONFIG → guide user to set up Notion integration
  • ERROR|AUTH → invalid API key or page not authorized
  • ERROR|RATE_LIMIT → tell user to wait
  • ERROR|NETWORK → tell user to retry later

Always run check_config.py first on first use. Never modify or delete existing Notion blocks.

Image Upload

  • Supports local file paths (e.g., C:\Users\photos\img.jpg) and HTTP URLs (e.g., https://example.com/photo.png)
  • Local files are uploaded to Notion servers via the File Upload API, then attached as image blocks
  • URL images are referenced directly as external image blocks
  • Optional --caption flag to add caption text to the image
  • Max file size: 5MB (Notion API limit)
  • Supported formats: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, bmp, svg
