# NotebookLM Skill

Query NotebookLM notebooks and manage notebooks/sources via Playwright browser automation.

All commands run from the skill directory. All scripts output JSON to stdout and exit 1 on error. Use `--help` on any script for full flag reference.

## Workflow

1. **Authenticate**: `python scripts/auth_manager.py setup --profile <name>`
2. **Register notebook**: `python scripts/notebook_manager.py add --url <url> --name <name> --description <desc> --topics <topics>`
3. **Ask questions**: `python scripts/ask_question.py --question "..." --notebook-id <id>`
4. **Manage sources**: `python scripts/remote_manager.py add-source|sync-sources ...`

## Key Behaviors

- Runs headless by default; use `--show-browser` for debugging only.
- Persistent Chrome profiles stored at `~/.config/claude/notebooklm-skill/` (override with `NOTEBOOKLM_DATA_DIR`).
- Hash-based dedupe: file uploads skip unchanged sources automatically.
- `--dry-run` available on all destructive/bulk operations (create, add-source, delete-source, sync-sources).
- `--retries N` retries transient browser failures with screenshot/HTML artifact capture.
- Batch mode (`--questions "q1||q2||q3"`) and multi-notebook comparison (`--compare-notebook-ids`) supported.
- Exports to JSON or Markdown via `--export-format markdown --save-notes`.
- Answers include a follow-up reminder prompting Claude to ask clarifying questions before replying.

## Quick Reference

```bash
# Auth
python scripts/auth_manager.py setup --profile work
python scripts/auth_manager.py status --profile work

# Library
python scripts/notebook_manager.py add --url "..." --name "..." --description "..." --topics "..."
python scripts/notebook_manager.py list

# Ask
python scripts/ask_question.py --question "..." --notebook-id <id>
python scripts/ask_question.py --questions "q1||q2" --notebook-id <id>

# Sources
python scripts/remote_manager.py add-source --notebook-id <id> --dir ./docs --recursive
python scripts/remote_manager.py sync-sources --notebook-id <id> --dir ./docs --recursive --delete-missing --dry-run
```
