What it does

CLI Anything Notebooklm is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Experimental NotebookLM harness for listing notebooks, managing sources, asking questions, generating artifacts, and downloading outputs through an installed notebooklm CLI.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Source-grounded notebooks. It works with NotebookLM. The repository describes itself as: "CLI-Anything: Making ALL Software Agent-Native" -- CLI-Hub: https://clianything.cc/. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Source-grounded notebooks

Example prompts

“/cli-anything-notebooklm”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34f5195. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- github.com
- support.google.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CLI Anything Notebooklm loads about 565 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 175 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~565

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from HKUDS/CLI-Anything at commit 34f5195, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© HKUDS). 175 words, ~565 tokens.
