Let Claude Code chat directly with NotebookLM for source-grounded answers based exclusively on your uploaded documents
Use this skill to query your Google NotebookLM notebooks directly from Claude Code for source-grounded, citation-backed answers from Gemini. Browser automation, library management, persistent auth. Drastically reduced hallucinations - answers only from your uploaded documents.
Installation • Quick Start • Why NotebookLM • How It Works • MCP Alternative
This skill works ONLY with local Claude Code installations, NOT in the web UI.
The web UI runs skills in a sandbox without network access, which this skill requires for browser automation. You must use Claude Code locally on your machine.
When you tell Claude Code to "search through my local documentation", here's what happens:
This Claude Code Skill lets Claude Code chat directly with NotebookLM — Google's source-grounded knowledge base powered by Gemini 2.5 that provides intelligent, synthesized answers exclusively from your uploaded documents.
Your Task → Claude asks NotebookLM → Gemini synthesizes answer → Claude writes correct code
No more copy-paste dance: Claude asks questions directly and gets answers straight back in the CLI. It builds deep understanding through automatic follow-ups, getting specific implementation details, edge cases, and best practices.
| Approach | Token Cost | Setup Time | Hallucinations | Answer Quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feed docs to Claude | 🔴 Very high (multiple file reads) | Instant | Yes - fills gaps | Variable retrieval |
| Web search | 🟡 Medium | Instant | High - unreliable sources | Hit or miss |
| Local RAG | 🟡 Medium-High | Hours (embeddings, chunking) | Medium - retrieval gaps | Depends on setup |
| NotebookLM Skill | 🟢 Minimal | 5 minutes | Minimal - source-grounded only | Expert synthesis |
