About
cli-anything-notebooklm is an experimental CLI-Anything package from hkuds/cli-anything that wraps the notebooklm CLI for terminal-driven research workflows. The skill supports listing notebooks, adding or managing sources, asking grounded questions, generating NotebookLM artifacts, and downloading outputs while exploring topics or compiling briefs for product decisions. Installation uses pip install -e from notebooklm/agent-harness and optionally notebooklm-py with the browser extra plus Playwright Chromium for local NotebookLM access. Developers reach for cli-anything-notebooklm when they want NotebookLM grounded answers, summaries, and research artifacts piped into CLI scripts or agent pipelines instead of manual browser copy-paste. The harness expects the notebooklm command locally and valid NotebookLM credentials before queries run.
- Source-grounded Q&A from terminal
- Document corpus ingestion hooks
- Summary and brief generation
- Research session automation
- Agent-friendly citation output

Agent Guidance
- Prefer explicit notebook IDs with
--notebook. - Use
--jsonfor machine-readable output only on commands that support it upstream. - Treat this harness as experimental and unofficial.
- Do not expose auth files or cookies in logs.
- NotebookLM is a Google product; this harness is unofficial and not affiliated with Google.
