Setup

Use when the user wants to set up / install this coach, says "set me up", "setup", "get me started", "install", or hasn't loaded a notebook yet (no .notebooklm-id and no data). Walks them through one-command setup inside Claude Code.

File contents

Setup (one command)

Get a brand-new user from zero to a working, cited coach. The heavy lifting is in setup.sh; the only thing you can't do for them is the two Google logins (they open a browser), so you delegate those via the ! prefix.

Do this, in order

Run the installer's non-interactive parts with Bash (installs uv + the NotebookLM CLIs):

command -v uv >/dev/null || curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
uv tool install notebooklm-mcp-cli
uv tool install "notebooklm-py[browser]"
uvx --from "notebooklm-py[browser]" playwright install chromium

Hand the two logins to the user. You can't complete a browser login from a tool call, so tell them to paste these into the Claude Code prompt (the ! runs it in their session so the browser opens for them), one at a time, same Google account:
```
! nlm login
! notebooklm login
```
Wait for them to confirm. Verify with nlm notebook list (an empty [] = logged in).
Load the channel + wire the notebook by running the rest of setup:
```
bash setup.sh
```
It scrapes Jeff's channel, creates the notebook, writes the id to .notebooklm-id, loads the videos, and runs a citation test. (It skips the install/login steps you already did.) Defaults: @JeffNippard, 300 videos — ask the user if they want a different channel or are on free NotebookLM (then use 50).
Confirm it's cited: show them the output of python3 scripts/ask_cited.py "How much volume does Jeff recommend?" — real titles + quotes.
Tell them what's next: "Setup's done — just say interview me and I'll build your program, citing a real Jeff video for every claim." If the nlm login expires (~20 min), they re-run ! nlm login.

Notes

If .notebooklm-id already exists, setup is done — skip straight to the interview.
Already have data + a notebook? Don't run setup; just coach.
Different expert: same flow, give a different channel URL, then cp CLAUDE.md.template CLAUDE.md.
