What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the guesswork of using NotebookLM programmatically by consolidating reliable, safe command sequences for the NotebookLM CLI (nlm) and any available MCP server tools.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Notebook + source orchestration: Create notebooks, add sources (URLs, YouTube, pasted text, and Google Drive), list/inspect sources, and keep Drive content fresh via stale detection and sync.
- Research and import: Discover new sources with fast or deep research, then import the results into a target notebook for downstream generation.
- Guardrailed content generation: Generate podcasts/audio, reports, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, slide decks, infographics, videos, and data tables with the required confirmation flags and correct parameter handling.
- One-shot Q&A from sources: Ask questions against a notebook using
nlm notebook query (with conversation continuation support) while avoiding the uncontrolled REPL flow.
- Safety-first destructive operations: Enforces explicit confirmation behavior for deletions (sources, notebooks, and generated artifacts).
Quick Start
Tell the AI: “Use nlm to login if needed, create a notebook titled ‘NotebookLM Research’, then run deep research for ‘agentic AI workflows 2026’, import the discovered sources, and generate a brief report with confirmation.”
