What NotebookLM makes
This skill connects Claude Code to your Google NotebookLM notebooks. You ask a question, it opens NotebookLM in a browser, gets the answer from Gemini using only the documents you uploaded, then closes.
It keeps a library of your notebooks so you can say which one to ask, and it remembers your sign in. Answers are grounded in your sources with citations, which cuts down on made up facts.
Best for: Researchers and students who keep their sources in NotebookLM and want fewer invented answers.
- Answers come only from the documents in your notebook.
- Library of notebooks you can name and reuse.
- Saves your Google sign in between questions.
- Can look inside a new notebook and fill in its name and topics for you.
Example prompts
