Lockstep for Notion
PRDs and specs in Notion drift the moment they’re edited. Lockstep captures the decisions inside them, gets them approved, and keeps agents in sync with the current truth.
What Lockstep captures from Notion
- a requirement added to a PRD page
- an edit that changes a spec’s behavior
- a decision logged in a meeting-notes doc
How the loop runs
Lockstep captures the decision from Notion, routes it to its owner for one-click approval, then briefs every engineer and every AI coding agent before they touch the code, and flags any pull request that drifts from it. See the full pipeline on how it works.
Access & trust
Read-only integration, allowlisted pages and databases.
Frequently asked questions
- How does Lockstep extract decisions from a Notion PRD?
- When an allowlisted PRD or spec moves to review, Lockstep pulls the normative sentences ('must', 'never', 'always' statements with an owner) as draft constraints, each anchored to the exact paragraph. The owner ratifies them with one click.
- What happens when engineering drifts from the PRD?
- If a pull request changes a surface governed by a ratified PRD constraint, both sides get flagged ('may conflict, review both') before the merge, not after launch. You can see PRD requirements against implementing work in the reconciliation view.
- Does the PM have to change how they write PRDs?
- No. Lockstep reads the doc as written. Clearer requirement language extracts better, but there's no template to adopt, and the PM stays in Notion.
