NotebookLM Skill for Claude

Connect your Claude agent to Google NotebookLM. Add sources automatically, query your notebooks, generate branded slide decks, and keep your auth alive without manual re-login.

Built by RoboNuggets. Powered by notebooklm-py by Teng Lin.

What This Does

• Query notebooks — ask your NotebookLM questions from inside Claude
• Add sources automatically — URLs, PDFs, files, raw text — no manual copy-paste
• Generate slide decks — branded to your colors, from within Claude
• Auto-refresh auth — optional headless cookie refresh so you never have to re-login

---

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• A Google account with access to NotebookLM
• Claude (claude.ai/code) or any Claude agent setup

---

Quick Start

Step 1 — Install notebooklm-py

pip install "notebooklm-py[browser]"
playwright install chromium

Step 2 — Install this skill

Paste the contents of INSTALL_PROMPT.md into your Claude agent. It will set everything up for you.

Step 3 — Login once

python scripts/nlm.py login

A browser opens. Sign into Google, wait for the NotebookLM homepage, press ENTER. Done.

Step 4 — Test it

python scripts/nlm.py list

Your notebooks should appear.

What's Included

notebooklm-skill/
├── SKILL.md              — The skill file your agent reads
├── scripts/
│   ├── nlm.py            — CLI wrapper for notebooklm-py
│   └── refresh_auth.py   — Headless cookie refresh (optional)
├── INSTALL_PROMPT.md     — Copy-paste prompt to install via Claude
└── README.md             — This file

Not included: notebooklm-py itself. That's Teng Lin's library — install it via pip (see above). This skill is just the wrapper and workflow on top of it.

Slide Generation

The skill includes a slide prompt template for generating branded presenter decks inside NotebookLM. When you ask Claude to generate slides, it will ask for your brand colors first — so the output matches your style, not ours.

See SKILL.md for the full template and instructions.

---

Keeping Auth Alive

Google session cookies expire every 7–30 days. Two options:

• Simple: Re-run python scripts/nlm.py login when it breaks (~30 seconds)
• Automatic: Use scripts/refresh_auth.py on a schedule — headless, no browser window, no manual steps

See the Keeping Auth Alive section in SKILL.md for setup instructions.
