To get source-grounded answers from NotebookLM in Claude Code, this Skill automates the NotebookLM browser interface to query your managed libraries. It returns citation-backed responses directly to Claude Code, preventing hallucinations by relying exclusively on your documents.

Browser automation handles Google authentication for NotebookLM using a hybrid flow that pairs a persistent browser profile with cookie injection. This setup keeps your Google logins active across repeated runs without requiring manual re-authentication each time.

Yes, you need Playwright or Patchright with Chrome to run NotebookLM queries locally in Claude Code. The Skill requires this environment to automate browser interactions, extract stable responses via selector-based polling, and bootstrap the virtual environment.

You manage NotebookLM notebooks for interactive research by storing their URLs with metadata in a notebook library. The Skill supports listing, searching, and activating a specific notebook to use for targeted question answering and follow-up cycles.

The best way to avoid hallucinations when querying documents is to use source-grounded retrieval instead of local keyword matching. This Skill queries your NotebookLM notebooks directly, ensuring Claude Code answers using only your uploaded documents with citations.

Claude Code may fail to retrieve context if the NotebookLM response is not yet stable. The Skill handles this by using robust selector-based polling to extract stable responses and initiates follow-up cycles for missing context during interactive research.
