NotebookLM

Use this skill to operate NotebookLM from Codex through a local wrapper script that runs:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh ...

The wrapper uses uvx --from notebooklm-py notebooklm ... so it does not depend on the system python3 version.

Workflow

Check current auth/context first:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh status

If the user is not authenticated yet, start login:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh login

For notebook-specific work, pick or confirm the active notebook:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh list
/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh use <notebook-id-or-prefix>

Then run the requested action directly through the wrapper.

Common Commands

List notebooks:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh list

Create a notebook:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh create "My Notebook"

Ask the current notebook a question:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh ask "Summarize the main findings."

List sources in the current notebook:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh source list

Add a local file as a source:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh source add "/absolute/path/to/file.pdf"

Export notebook metadata:

/Users/rr/.codex/skills/notebooklm/scripts/notebooklm.sh metadata

Notes

The default NotebookLM session storage path is ~/.notebooklm/storage_state.json.
The wrapper honors NOTEBOOKLM_STORAGE_PATH if a custom storage file is needed.
When a command fails, surface the CLI error clearly instead of guessing.
If NotebookLM requires interactive browser authentication, let the login flow complete before proceeding.
