A connection between coding agents and Google NotebookLM, a Google service that answers questions from documents you upload. It supports source-based answers and managing notebooks through browser automation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query project documentation, inspect what a notebook contains, add notebooks to a library, and get answers based on uploaded material.
Why use it?
It helps answer questions from a controlled set of documents instead of relying only on general model knowledge. This can make documentation research easier to check against the original sources.

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 2mo 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 — 270 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.

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!)

NEVER guess or use generic descriptions! If details missing, use Smart Add to discover them.

Critical: Always Use run.py Wrapper

NEVER call scripts directly. ALWAYS use python scripts/run.py [script]:

# ✅ CORRECT - Always use run.py:
python scripts/run.py auth_manager.py status
python scripts/run.py notebook_manager.py list
python scripts/run.py ask_question.py --question "..."

# ❌ WRONG - Never call directly:
python scripts/auth_manager.py status  # Fails without venv!

The run.py wrapper automatically:

  1. Creates .venv if needed
  2. Installs all dependencies
  3. Activates environment
  4. Executes script properly
