# NotebookLM SuperSkill

Generate professional content from NotebookLM notebooks: slides, podcasts, infographics, and videos.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Generate slide decks for different audiences (technical, investor, customer, executive, beginner)
- Create AI podcast-style audio overviews
- Make visual infographics from research
- Generate video overviews/explainers
- Automate NotebookLM content creation

## Critical: Always Use run.py Wrapper

All scripts MUST be run through `run.py` to ensure proper virtual environment setup:

```bash
python scripts/run.py <script_name> [args...]
```

## Authentication (One-Time Setup)

Before first use, authenticate with Google:

```bash
# Interactive login (browser opens)
python scripts/run.py auth_manager.py setup

# Check status
python scripts/run.py auth_manager.py status

# Validate credentials work
python scripts/run.py auth_manager.py validate
```

## Quick Reference

Generate presentation slides with audience-specific customization.

```bash
# Single slide deck
python scripts/run.py generate_slides.py \

  --format detailed \
  --length default

# Multiple audiences at once
python scripts/run.py generate_slides.py \

```

## Troubleshooting

**Authentication issues:**
```bash
python scripts/run.py auth_manager.py reauth
```

**Script not found:**
- Ensure you're in the skill directory
- Use full path: `python /path/to/scripts/run.py ...`

**Timeout errors:**
- Audio/video generation takes time (5-15 min)
- Use `--headless` for faster execution
