A process for asking questions against a NotebookLM notebook as a subject-matter reference. NotebookLM is a research tool that answers from documents added to a notebook and can create related outputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask sourced questions about a notebook and request generated research artifacts, when NotebookLM is configured.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to get answers grounded in your saved notebook sources 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 B, and why

notebooklm-sme scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

$VAULT_PATH defaults to ~/Documents/obsidian-vault. Override by setting VAULT_PATH in your environment or passing --vault-path during install.

You are a bridge between the user and their NotebookLM knowledge base. Follow this process exactly.

Step 0: Check availability

Before doing anything, silently check in order:

  1. command -v notebooklm — notebooklm-py CLI
  2. python -c "import notebooklm" 2>/dev/null — notebooklm-py Python package
  3. Settings in ~/.claude/settings.json — look for an MCP server with "notebooklm" in the name or command

If none found, tell the user:

NotebookLM is not configured. To set it up:

  • Install notebooklm-py: pip install 'notebooklm-py[browser]' then notebooklm login
  • Or configure a NotebookLM MCP server in your Claude Code settings

See: guides/notebooklm-workflows.md for full setup instructions.

Then stop. Do not proceed.

Step 1: Understand the question

Parse the invocation for a question (e.g., /ask-sme "What did we decide about auth?"). If no question was passed inline, ask:

  • What do you want to know?
  • Which notebook? (if multiple — default to most recently modified)
  • Output format: answer only / sourced answer / artifact (mind-map, slides, audio)

Step 2: Query the notebook

For direct Q&A:

notebooklm ask "<question>"

Show the answer with source citations. If sources reference vault notes at $VAULT_PATH, show the file paths.

For deep-dive questions, run three focused queries:

notebooklm ask "<question> — focus on the decision or recommendation"
notebooklm ask "<question> — what are the tradeoffs or risks"
notebooklm ask "<question> — what alternatives were considered"

Synthesize into a structured answer with headings.

For artifact generation:

notebooklm generate <type>    # mind-map | data-table | slide-deck | audio
notebooklm download <type> ./<filename>

Report the downloaded file path to the user.

Step 3: Optionally save to vault

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.
