Notebooklm

This hooks Claude Code directly into your Google NotebookLM notebooks so you can query documentation without leaving your editor. It spins up a headless browser, authenticates once with your Google account, then lets you ask questions that get answered by Gemini using only your uploaded sources. The smart part is the library system: you can tag and search multiple notebooks, and it forces you to describe what's actually in each one instead of guessing later. Includes a follow-up mechanism that won't let Claude move on until your question is fully answered. One-time auth setup, then it's just Python commands through a wrapper that handles the virtual environment for you. Built for developers who have documentation in NotebookLM and want citations without context-switching.

NotebookLM Research Assistant Skill

Interact with Google NotebookLM to query documentation with Gemini's source-grounded answers. Each question opens a fresh browser session, retrieves the answer exclusively from your uploaded documents, and closes.

When to Use This Skill

Trigger when user:

Mentions NotebookLM explicitly
Shares NotebookLM URL (https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/...)
Asks to query their notebooks/documentation
Wants to add documentation to NotebookLM library
Uses phrases like "ask my NotebookLM", "check my docs", "query my notebook"

⚠️ CRITICAL: Add Command - Smart Discovery

When user wants to add a notebook without providing details:

SMART ADD (Recommended): Query the notebook first to discover its content:

# Step 1: Query the notebook about its content
python scripts/run.py ask_question.py --question "What is the content of this notebook? What topics are covered? Provide a complete overview briefly and concisely" --notebook-url "[URL]"
