Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00071 | $0.03520 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01760 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00704 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00352 |
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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 319 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
NotebookLM Automation
Complete programmatic access to Google NotebookLM — including capabilities not exposed in the web UI. Create notebooks, add sources (URLs, YouTube, PDFs, audio, video, images), chat with content, generate all artifact types, and download results in multiple formats.
Prerequisites
Installation
uv tool install notebooklm-py
Authentication (one-time)
notebooklm login # Opens browser for Google OAuth
notebooklm list # Verify authentication works
If commands fail with auth errors, re-run notebooklm login.
Verify Setup
notebooklm --version
notebooklm status # Shows "Authenticated as: email@..."
notebooklm list --json # Should return valid JSON
CI/CD and Parallel Agents
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
NOTEBOOKLM_HOME |
Custom config directory (default: ~/.notebooklm) |
NOTEBOOKLM_AUTH_JSON |
Inline auth JSON — no file writes needed |
Parallel agents: The CLI stores notebook context in ~/.notebooklm/context.json. Multiple concurrent agents using notebooklm use overwrite each other's context. Use explicit -n <notebook_id> or --notebook <notebook_id> flags instead, or set unique NOTEBOOKLM_HOME per agent.

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mathews-Tom/armory (316 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 3,520 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
