Authentication
The first time you use the skill, it opens Chrome for Google login. Cookies are cached for subsequent runs. Just tell Claude:
"Log me into NotebookLM"
Generate Your First Artifact
Once authenticated, just describe what you want:
"Add this notebook https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/YOUR_ID and generate a study guide from it"
That's it — the skill handles everything: authentication, notebook management, artifact creation, polling, and download.
