Experimental NotebookLM harness for CLI-Anything.

Installation

This package is intended to be installed from the harness directory:

cd notebooklm/agent-harness
python3 -m pip install -e .

Install the upstream NotebookLM CLI if needed:

python3 -m pip install --user 'notebooklm-py[browser]'
python3 -m playwright install chromium

Requirements

  • `notebooklm` command installed locally
  • Valid local NotebookLM login session

Usage

Basic Commands

# Show help
cli-anything-notebooklm --help

# Start with a notebook context
cli-anything-notebooklm --notebook nb_123 source list

# Prefer JSON for agent use
cli-anything-notebooklm --json notebook list

Command Groups

| Group | Purpose | | --- | --- | | `auth` | login and auth validation | | `notebook` | notebook list, create, summary | | `source` | source listing and URL add | | `chat` | ask questions and inspect history | | `artifact` | list and generate artifacts | | `download` | fetch generated outputs | | `share` | inspect sharing state |

Agent Workflow

1. Check auth with `cli-anything-notebooklm auth status` 2. Discover notebook IDs with `cli-anything-notebooklm --json notebook list` 3. Use explicit `--notebook` for follow-up commands 4. Prefer `--json` only where the upstream `notebooklm` command supports it

Agent Guidance

  • Prefer explicit notebook IDs with `--notebook`.
  • Use `--json` for machine-readable output only on commands that support it upstream.
  • Treat this harness as experimental and unofficial.
  • Do not expose auth files or cookies in logs.
  • NotebookLM is a Google product; this harness is unofficial and not affiliated with Google.
