notebooklm-galaxia

Claude Code plugin: full programmatic access to Google NotebookLM, positioned inside the Galaxia stack.

What it does

NotebookLM exposes no official query API. This plugin builds on the community CLI notebooklm-py (browser automation, cookies) to drive NotebookLM from Claude Code:

• Create notebooks, add sources (URL, YouTube, PDF, audio, video, image)
• Query a corpus with grounded citations
• Generate every artifact: audio podcast, video, slides, quiz, flashcards, infographic, mind map, report
• Download results (mp3, mp4, pdf, pptx, md, csv, json)

Positioning (important)

In the Galaxia stack, the retrieval memory is gbrain (Postgres+pgvector, with the Obsidian vault as the system of record). NotebookLM is NOT the agent's memory. This plugin keeps it to its real strengths:

• Media generator: podcasts, videos, slides, infographics.
• One-off analysis of a large external corpus (dozens of documents) with citations.

What we do NOT do: wire NotebookLM as an MCP server for the autonomous agent (Hermes), or use it as memory storage. Browser automation is too fragile (rate limits, ToS, breaks on any UI change) for a 24/7 agent. To trigger a generation from the autonomous stack, go through N8N (deterministic workflow, out of the agent hot path).

Skills

Skill	Role
notebooklm	Full NotebookLM CLI access (setup, auth, sources, query, generation, download).
wrapup	gbrain-first session wrap-up: writes durable knowledge into gbrain (canonical memory), updates Claude memories, and optionally generates a NotebookLM media artifact.

Installation

The plugin handles setup on first use (/notebooklm). Manually:

python3 -m venv ~/.notebooklm-venv
source ~/.notebooklm-venv/bin/activate
pip install "notebooklm-py[browser]"
playwright install chromium
ln -sf ~/.notebooklm-venv/bin/notebooklm ~/bin/notebooklm

Authentication: see the notebooklm skill (browser login, session capture).

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Chromium (via playwright install chromium)
• A Google account with NotebookLM
• For wrapup: the gbrain CLI pointed at the Galaxia brain

Credits

Based on the community CLI notebooklm-py and the community NotebookLM / WrapUp skills, adapted and repositioned for the Galaxia stack (gbrain as canonical memory). NotebookLM is an unofficial API and can break without notice.
