Can I query a notebook without adding it to my library first?

Yes, you can query a notebook directly by providing its URL, though adding it to your library allows for easier management and searching by topic.

Does this skill require a Google account?

Yes, you must have a Google account with access to NotebookLM and complete a one-time manual browser login during the setup phase.

Do I need to manually install Python dependencies?

No, the skill uses a run.py wrapper that automatically creates a virtual environment, installs requirements, and manages the browser binaries on your first run.

How does this skill reduce AI hallucinations?

It leverages NotebookLM's architecture, which forces Gemini to answer based exclusively on your uploaded documents, providing verifiable citations for its responses.

Is my authentication data secure?

Yes, all authentication tokens and browser cookies are stored locally in your home directory's .claude folder and are protected by .gitignore to prevent accidental commits.
