notebooklm

notebooklm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OXI-717/ai-native-toolkit. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,491 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to ask questions about documents stored in Google NotebookLM, a Google service for working with your own uploaded sources. Answers are based on those documents and include citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query documentation or other uploaded sources, manage the notebook library, and retrieve source-grounded answers.
Why use it?
It reduces unsupported answers by keeping research tied to the material in a selected notebook.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

Good fit Use it to query documentation or other uploaded sources, manage the notebook library, and retrieve source-grounded answers.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Its marketplace also offers this one on its own, as the plugin notebooklm/plugin install notebooklm after adding the marketplace above.

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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/ask_question.py, scripts/auth_manager.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.

Runtime Paths

Use portable paths so the skill works from both Claude Code and Codex installs:

PLUGIN_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-<installed-plugin-root>}"
SKILL_ROOT="$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/notebooklm"
RUNNER=(python3 "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/run.py")

All command examples below use the shorthand python scripts/run.py .... In portable/dual-runtime mode, execute the same commands through "${RUNNER[@]}" ....

Runtime state is stored outside the plugin cache by default:

  • data: ~/.local/share/notebooklm/data/
  • venv: ~/.local/share/notebooklm/.venv/

Overrides:

  • NOTEBOOKLM_HOME
  • NOTEBOOKLM_DATA_DIR
  • NOTEBOOKLM_VENV_DIR

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]"

# Step 2: Use the discovered information to add it
python scripts/run.py notebook_manager.py add --url "[URL]" --name "[Based on content]" --description "[Based on content]" --topics "[Based on content]"

MANUAL ADD: If user provides all details:

  • --url - The NotebookLM URL
  • --name - A descriptive name
  • --description - What the notebook contains (REQUIRED!)
  • --topics - Comma-separated topics (REQUIRED!)

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.
