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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/ask_question.py, scripts/auth_manager.py, scripts/common.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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NotebookLM Skill

Query NotebookLM notebooks and manage notebooks/sources via Playwright browser automation.

All commands run from the skill directory. All scripts output JSON to stdout and exit 1 on error. Use --help on any script for full flag reference.

Workflow

  1. Authenticate: python scripts/auth_manager.py setup --profile <name>
  2. Register notebook: python scripts/notebook_manager.py add --url <url> --name <name> --description <desc> --topics <topics>
  3. Ask questions: python scripts/ask_question.py --question "..." --notebook-id <id>
  4. Manage sources: python scripts/remote_manager.py add-source|sync-sources ...

Key Behaviors

  • Runs headless by default; use --show-browser for debugging only.
  • Persistent Chrome profiles stored at ~/.config/claude/notebooklm-skill/ (override with NOTEBOOKLM_DATA_DIR).
  • Hash-based dedupe: file uploads skip unchanged sources automatically.
  • --dry-run available on all destructive/bulk operations (create, add-source, delete-source, sync-sources).
  • --retries N retries transient browser failures with screenshot/HTML artifact capture.
  • Batch mode (--questions "q1||q2||q3") and multi-notebook comparison (--compare-notebook-ids) supported.
  • Exports to JSON or Markdown via --export-format markdown --save-notes.
  • Answers include a follow-up reminder prompting Claude to ask clarifying questions before replying.

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.
