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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01931 | $0.01931 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00966 | $0.00966 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00386 | $0.00386 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00193 | $0.00193 |
Grade A, and why
notebooklm-py CLAUDE.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 10d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
IMPORTANT: Follow documentation rules in CONTRIBUTING.md - especially the file creation and naming conventions.
Project Overview
notebooklm-py is an unofficial Python client for Google NotebookLM that uses undocumented RPC APIs. The library enables programmatic automation of NotebookLM features including notebook management, source integration, AI querying, and studio artifact generation (podcasts, videos, quizzes, etc.).
Critical constraint: This uses Google's internal batchexecute RPC protocol with obfuscated method IDs that Google can change at any time. All RPC method IDs in src/notebooklm/rpc/types.py are undocumented and subject to breakage.
Development Commands
# Create/recreate venv with uv (recommended - relocatable venvs)
uv venv .venv
uv pip install -e ".[all]"
playwright install chromium
# Activate virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# Run all tests (excluding e2e by default)
pytest
# Run with coverage
pytest --cov
# Run e2e tests (requires authentication)
pytest tests/e2e -m e2e
# CLI testing
notebooklm --help
Pre-Commit Checks (REQUIRED before committing)
IMPORTANT: Always run these checks before committing to avoid CI failures:
# Format code with ruff
ruff format src/ tests/
# Check for linting issues
ruff check src/ tests/
# Type checking with mypy
mypy src/notebooklm --ignore-missing-imports
# Run tests
pytest
Or use this one-liner:
ruff format src/ tests/ && ruff check src/ tests/ && mypy src/notebooklm --ignore-missing-imports && pytest

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.

notebooklm-py CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository patriarchal-boothose896/notebooklm-py (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 1,931 tokens to every session, about $0.0097 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
