peepshow sink / notion

NotionOne Notion page per run, filed into a database.

Creates a page with metadata properties, embedded thumbnails, and the full frame gallery.

What it does

File every peepshow run as a rich page in a Notion database: fills in Title, Director, Genre, and any container-metadata properties you've defined, then embeds the frames directly into the page body.

When to reach for it

  • Research log: agents add to a shared Notion research database automatically
  • Video playbook: keep every processed reference clip alongside its analysis
  • Content pipeline: turn raw media into a structured Notion library

Install

npm i -g peepshow

Use it

peepshow ./talk.mp4 --sink notion \
  --sink-arg database=abc123def456...

Make it automatic

Register the sink once — every run fires it afterward. Scope by --when so it only runs for matching videos.

peepshow sinks add notion
peepshow sinks add notion --when extension=mp4,mov
peepshow sinks add notion --when path=/Volumes/Work/

Configuration

  • PEEPSHOW_NOTION_TOKEN Internal integration token. required
  • PEEPSHOW_NOTION_DATABASE Database ID to file runs into. required

Use with an LLM agent

Every peepshow sink reads its config from env vars and receives a single JSON payload on stdin. An LLM agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, Codex) can drive the Notion sink automatically when three things are true:

  • the env vars below are exported in the agent's shell (or a project .env it can load),
  • the peepshow CLI is on PATH — install with npm i -g peepshow,
  • a peepshow auto-sink is registered for the run (optional but recommended — makes invocation zero-argument).

1. Set the environment

# Add to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or a project .env the agent can load
export PEEPSHOW_NOTION_TOKEN="..."
export PEEPSHOW_NOTION_DATABASE="..."

2. Register as an auto-sink

peepshow sinks add notion
peepshow sinks add notion --when extension=mp4,mov

3. Example LLM session

You → drop a .mov into Claude Code.

Claude → auto-invokes /peepshow:slides ./clip.mov. peepshow extracts frames + audio, the Notion sink forwards the run to a new page in your knowledge base. Claude replies with a summary and a link to the created record.

The transcript text is embedded alongside the frame gallery on the created page.

Write your own

A sink is any executable that reads the --emit json payload on stdin. Shell, Node, Python, Go — the spec's in docs/PLUGINS.md. Register persistent ones with peepshow sinks add-cmd 'your-command'.
