File contents

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

Authenticate: python scripts/auth_manager.py setup --profile <name>
Register notebook: python scripts/notebook_manager.py add --url <url> --name <name> --description <desc> --topics <topics>
Ask questions: python scripts/ask_question.py --question "..." --notebook-id <id>
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.
