Expert guide for the NotebookLM CLI (`nlm`) and MCP server - interfaces for Google NotebookLM. Use this skill when users want to interact with NotebookLM programmatically, including: creating/managing notebooks, adding sources (URLs, YouTube, text, Google Drive), generating content (podcasts, reports, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, slides, infographics, videos, data tables), conducting research, chatting with sources, or automating NotebookLM workflows. Triggers on mentions of "nlm", "notebooklm", "notebook lm", "podcast generation", "audio overview", or any NotebookLM-related automation task.

Interact with Obsidian vaults using the Obsidian CLI to read, create, search, and manage notes, tasks, properties, and more. Also supports plugin and theme development with commands to reload plugins, run JavaScript, capture errors, take screenshots, and inspect the DOM. Use when the user asks to interact with their Obsidian vault, manage notes, search vault content, perform vault operations from the command line, or develop and debug Obsidian plugins and themes.

How to use the Readwise CLI — access highlights, documents, and your entire reading library from the command line

Distill a research directory (produced by /research) into a single compact research.md containing a guideline-relative distillation of only the sources that were actually used in a piece of content. Use this skill whenever the user wants to extract used references from research, create a research appendix for an article, distill research into what was actually cited, or produce a portable reference file from a research directory. Trigger when the user says things like "distill my research", "extract used sources", "which research did I actually use", "create research.md", "compile references from research", or after finishing an article that used a research directory.

Health-check a research directory produced by /research. Runs seven checks — orphan sources, missing entity/concept hubs, missing comparison candidates, broken wikilinks, stale claims, contradictions, and open-question synthesis. Outputs a report; edits where safe (broken-link flags, open-question append, contradiction surfacing); flags-only otherwise. Always user-triggered, never automated. Trigger when the user says things like "lint my research", "health check my research", "check the wiki", "audit my research dir", "what's wrong with my wiki", "find orphans / contradictions / stale claims".

Generate a multi-form answer (Marp slide deck, matplotlib chart, Obsidian Canvas, or social content brief) from one or more wiki pages in a research directory and file the output back into wiki/renders/. Outputs compound — they appear in index.yaml/index.md and can be re-rendered idempotently. One run can render several forms at once. Use when the user wants to "make a slide deck on X", "chart the comparison of A vs B", "build a canvas of how these concepts connect", "render this as Marp", or "extract a post idea / content brief from my research". Trigger on phrasings like "render", "slide deck", "chart", "canvas", "marp", "brief", "post idea", "extract ideas for social".

Build, extend, AND query a persistent LLM-maintained wiki for any research topic. Conversational entry point that routes between four modes - query (fast read-only answer from existing wiki), append (ingest the sources the user provided, no discovery), deep (explicit discovery/deep research at a fast/light/deep depth preset), and init (create a new research directory). Ingests from your knowledge sources (Obsidian vault + Readwise + NotebookLM + GitHub repos + YouTube videos + web seeds + user-dropped PDFs) and maintains a wiki layer (per-source pages, entities, concepts, comparisons, overview, synthesis, open questions, contradictions). Use for any research interaction - first-time research on a topic, "what do I have on X", "load my research on Y", "add this PDF to my research", "deep dive on Z", "pull together my notes on Y", "extend my research with this file". Trigger on the phrases above plus "search my research", "use my research", "find sources about X".
