notebooklm

notebooklm is a skill for Claude Code from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. It costs 100 tokens per session (2,701 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to work with Google NotebookLM, a service that answers questions using documents and other sources saved in notebooks. It uses retrieval-augmented generation, meaning it retrieves relevant source material before producing an answer.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps query documentation, manage notebooks and sources, research across the web or Google Drive, and retrieve generated reports, podcasts, videos, quizzes, and other artifacts.
Why use it?
It lets an agent use project documents and research sources as context instead of relying only on general knowledge.

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 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 today.

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.

NotebookLM Integration

Interact with Google NotebookLM for advanced RAG capabilities — query project documentation, manage research sources, and retrieve AI-synthesized information from notebooks.

Overview

This skill integrates with the notebooklm-mcp-cli tool (nlm CLI) to provide programmatic access to Google NotebookLM. It enables agents to manage notebooks, add sources, perform contextual queries, and retrieve generated artifacts like audio podcasts or reports.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Querying project documentation stored in Google NotebookLM
  • Retrieving AI-synthesized information from notebooks (e.g., summaries, Q&A)
  • Managing notebooks: creating, listing, renaming, or deleting
  • Adding sources to notebooks: URLs, text, files, YouTube, Google Drive
  • Generating studio content: audio podcasts, video explainers, reports, quizzes
  • Downloading generated artifacts (audio, video, reports, mind maps)
  • Performing research queries across web or Google Drive
  • Checking freshness and syncing Google Drive sources
  • An agent is tasked with using documentation stored in NotebookLM for implementation

Trigger phrases: "query notebooklm", "search notebook", "add source to notebook", "create podcast from notebook", "generate report from notebook", "nlm query"

Prerequisites

Installation

# Install via uv (recommended)
uv tool install notebooklm-mcp-cli

# Or via pip
pip install notebooklm-mcp-cli

# Verify installation
nlm --version

Authentication

# Login — opens Chrome for cookie extraction
nlm login

# Verify authentication
nlm login --check

# Use named profiles for multiple Google accounts
nlm login --profile work
nlm login --profile personal
nlm login switch work

Diagnostics

# Run diagnostics if issues occur
nlm doctor
nlm doctor --verbose

⚠️ Important: This tool uses internal Google APIs. Cookies expire every ~2-4 weeks — run nlm login again when operations fail. Free tier has ~50 queries/day rate limit.
