notebooklm-py: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

notebooklm-py AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from patriarchal-boothose896/notebooklm-py. It costs 539 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for developing notebooklm-py, a Python client and command-line tool for interacting with NotebookLM. They describe the project layout, development commands, coding style, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing notebooklm-py to locate source code and tests, install dependencies, run tests and checks, format code, and validate types.
Why use it?
They give a coding agent the project-specific rules needed to make changes consistently and check that the repository still works.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

notebooklm-py AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Repository Guidelines

Status: Active Last Updated: 2026-03-13

Project Structure & Module Organization

src/notebooklm/ contains the async client and typed APIs. Internal feature modules use _ prefixes such as _sources.py and _artifacts.py; src/notebooklm/cli/ holds Click commands, and src/notebooklm/rpc/ handles protocol encoding and decoding. Tests are split by scope: tests/unit/, tests/integration/, and tests/e2e/. Recorded HTTP fixtures live in tests/cassettes/. Examples are in docs/examples/, and diagnostics live in scripts/.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

Use uv for local work:

uv sync --extra dev --extra browser
uv run pytest
uv run ruff check src/ tests/
uv run ruff format src/ tests/
uv run mypy src/notebooklm
uv run pre-commit run --all-files

Run uv run pytest tests/e2e -m readonly only after notebooklm login and setting test notebook env vars.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

Target Python 3.10+, 4-space indentation, and double quotes. Ruff enforces formatting and import order with a 100-character line length. Keep module and test file names in snake_case; prefer descriptive Click command names that match existing groups such as source, artifact, and research. Preserve the internal/public split: _*.py for implementation, exported types in src/notebooklm/__init__.py.

Testing Guidelines

Put pure logic in tests/unit/, VCR-backed flows in tests/integration/, and authenticated NotebookLM coverage in tests/e2e/. Name tests test_<behavior>.py and record cassettes with NOTEBOOKLM_VCR_RECORD=1 uv run pytest tests/integration/test_vcr_*.py -v. Coverage is expected to stay at or above the configured 90% threshold.

Commit, PR, and Agent Notes

Follow the existing commit style: feat(cli): ..., fix(cli): ..., refactor(test): ..., style: .... PRs should include a short summary, linked issue when relevant, and the commands run locally. For Codex or other parallel agents, prefer --json, pass explicit notebook IDs instead of relying on notebooklm use, and isolate runs with NOTEBOOKLM_HOME=/tmp/<agent-id> when multiple agents share one machine.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
