• --audio → also generate a podcast after adding sources
• --video → also generate a cinematic video after adding sources
• --dry-run → preview filtered sources without creating anything

Prerequisites

The nlm CLI must be installed and authenticated:

nlm login --check

If not authenticated, ask the user to run nlm login first.

Execution

Step 1 — Dry run preview

Always start with a dry run to show the user what will be added:

just notebook {DATE} --dry-run

Display the filtered source list grouped by theme and ask for confirmation before proceeding.

Step 2 — Create notebook and add sources

After user confirmation:

just notebook {DATE} {FLAGS}

Where FLAGS includes --audio if the user requested podcast generation.

Step 3 — Report

Display a summary:

• Notebook name and ID
• Number of sources added (success/fail)
• Audio generation status (if requested)
