SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires notebooklm-py.

What problem does it solve? Google NotebookLM's web UI lacks programmatic access, batch operations, and export options for many artifact types. This Skill provides full CLI-based control over NotebookLM so you can create notebooks, add sources, chat with content, and generate or download artifacts without manual clicking. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Notebook and Source Management: Create notebooks and add URLs, YouTube videos, PDFs, audio, video, and images as sources, including deep web research import. - Artifact Generation and Download: Generate podcasts, videos, slide decks, infographics, reports, mind maps, quizzes, and flashcards, then download them as MP3, MP4, PDF, PPTX, CSV, JSON, or Markdown. - Chat with Citations: Ask questions against indexed sources and receive answers with structured reference data. - Use Case: Research a topic by creating a notebook, running deep web research to import 20+ sources, then generating a podcast episode and downloading it as an MP3, all orchestrated by background subagents while you continue other work. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a NotebookLM notebook on your topic, add your source URLs, and generate a podcast episode from them.

Set a unique NOTEBOOKLM_HOME directory per agent to isolate the shared context file, and pass explicit notebook IDs with -n or --notebook flags instead of relying on notebooklm use. Prefer full UUIDs over partial IDs in automation.
