Blog NotebookLM: Source-Grounded Research from Your Documents

Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook on 2026-07-16 (announcement). This skill keeps the notebooklm command and script names. The scripts accept notebook URLs on notebooklm.google.com (which redirected with a 301 to notebook.google.com on 2026-10-12) and on notebook.google.com. Help: https://support.google.com/gemininotebook/.

Bundled paths below use host Markdown substitution of ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}; it is not an exported shell variable. Resolve them before execution, quote paths, and refuse nonabsolute overrides. Pass blog_reference_root resolved from ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../blog/references, blog_template_root from ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../blog/templates, and needed sibling roots to agents. Read the main reference orchestration-details.md before loading project context; pass only its helper-fenced output to downstream agents.

Query Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) notebooks directly from Claude Code for citation-backed answers from Gemini. Each question opens a headless browser session, retrieves the answer from your uploaded documents, and closes. Responses are source-grounded model answers, not proof of truth: uploaded documents may be primary or secondary, and the answer can still omit context.
