NotebookLM Studio

Overview

Use this skill when the user wants Codex to turn files, URLs, YouTube links, notes, transcripts, Drive-style sources, or research material into NotebookLM notebooks and NotebookLM Studio outputs. The goal is to make Codex act as the operator: prepare sources, create or reuse notebooks, generate official artifacts where available, download outputs, and explain limitations clearly.

This skill relies on the notebooklm CLI from notebooklm-py when available. That CLI is unofficial and uses undocumented NotebookLM endpoints, so every workflow must probe the environment before assuming it can run.

Operating Rules

1. Only ingest sources the user owns, provided, or is allowed to use. Do not bypass paywalls, DRM, private access controls, or copyright restrictions.
2. Prefer official NotebookLM outputs over local reconstructions. If an output is not exposed by the CLI or account plan, create a source-grounded fallback and label it as derived.
3. Keep artifacts traceable: return notebook title/id when known, source count, generated artifact names, local download paths, and any failed/skipped outputs.
4. For current feature availability, limits, and export formats, load references/notebooklm-capabilities.md.
5. For exact CLI commands and supported automation flags, load references/notebooklm-py-cli.md.
6. For mixed source handling and "any source" requests, load references/source-ingestion.md.
7. For output mapping and fallback decisions, load references/artifact-strategy.md.
