notebooklm-manager
Manages NotebookLM notebooks — query, add, list, search, enable/disable, remove. Use when a notebooklm.google.com URL appears or user mentions NotebookLM. Handles URLs through its own Chrome agent — do not navigate directly. Requires: claude-in-chrome MCP.
Why this skill is useful

What this skill does
NotebookLM Manager Query orchestration and notebook registry management. Instructions Tool Boundaries Chrome MCP tools (mcpclaude-in-chrome) aren't in this skill's allowed tool set — calling them directly will error. All browser interaction goes through the chrome-mcp-query agent via Task. If the agent returns an error, don't attempt Chrome tools yourself. 0. Data Path Resolution (run first) Read ~/.claude-code-zero/notebooklm-connector/data-path to obtain DATADIR. The PreToolUse hook automatically detects install scope (project vs user) and writes the correct path. The file contains a single line: the absolute path to the data directory. Store this as {DATADIR} and use it for ALL subsequent file operations. File read error → Tell user to restart the session (hook may not be loaded). 0.1 Config Read {DATADIR}/config.json for user preferences: maxfollowups: Maximum follow-up queries in coverage analysis (default: 3) maxquerylength: Maximum characters per query sent to NotebookLM (default: 40000) language: Preferred response language (null = match user's language) autocoverage: Enable automatic coverage analysis (default: true) If the file is missing or a field is absent, use defaults above. 1. Query Detection Extract from user message: notebookid: Which notebook (e.g., "claude-docs") question: What to ask 2. Notebook Lookup Read {DATADIR}/library.json to find notebook URL. File not found → Re-run Step 0. If still missing, tell user to restart the session. Not found → Show "Did you mean?" with similar IDs 3. Chat History Default: clearHistory: false (keep previous context). Set clearHistory: true only when the user explicitly requests it (e.g., "clear history and query…", "start fresh on this notebook"). 3.5 Input Length Validation NotebookLM has a server-side character limit on chat input (~45,000–50,000 chars). …
