NotebookLM Slides Generation

Quick Start

bash
# 1. Start browser (via browser-use skill)
bash .claude/skills/browser-use/scripts/start-server.sh

# 2. Navigate to NotebookLM
# browser_navigate to notebooklm.google.com

# 3. Create notebook, upload sources, generate slides
# Use proficiency-calibrated prompts below

Core Principles

  1. Proficiency-Driven: Slides match CEFR levels (A2 beginner → C1 advanced)
  2. Framework Alignment: Educational philosophy explicitly stated
  3. Visual Over Text: 3-5 bullets per slide, not paragraphs
  4. Narrative Arc: problem → transformation → opportunity → action
  5. Actionable Endings: Concrete next steps, not "Keep learning!"

Workflow (Per Chapter)

Step Action Tool
1 Navigate to notebooklm.google.com browser_navigate
2 Create notebook: "Chapter X: Title" browser_click
3 Upload ALL sources (lessons + README + quiz) browser_click
4 Click "Slide Deck" in Studio panel browser_click
5 Select "Presenter Slides" format browser_click
6 Paste proficiency-calibrated prompt browser_type
7 Click "Generate" (wait 5-30 min) browser_click
8 Review with success criteria Visual inspection
9 Download PDF browser_click
10 Move to static/slides/chapter-{NN}-slides.pdf Bash

Proficiency-Calibrated Prompts

A2 (Beginners)

Create inspiring slide deck for absolute beginners (A2 proficiency).

AUDIENCE: Complete beginners with no programming experience.

FRAMEWORK TO EMPHASIZE:
• [Principle 1]: Simple, concrete explanation
• [Principle 2]: Accessible mental model
• [Principle 3]: Encouraging principle

THEMES (with specific data):
1. [Theme with concrete numbers/facts]
2. [Theme with specific example]
3. [Theme with real-world data]

TONE:
• Encouraging (not intimidating)
• Future-focused and opportunity-driven
• Simple language, no jargon
• Action-oriented

<slide_format_requirements>
Generate 12-15 slides. Each slide: 3-5 bullet points as sentences,
NOT paragraphs. Clear headings. Cover all themes.
</slide_format_requirements>

NARRATIVE: problem → transformation → opportunity → action
END WITH: Specific next steps (not "Keep learning!")

B1 (Intermediate)

Create comprehensive slide deck for intermediate learners (B1 proficiency).

AUDIENCE: Learners with [prerequisites]. Ready for [next-level challenge].

FRAMEWORK TO EMPHASIZE:
• [Intermediate concept with practical context]
• [Problem-solving approach]
• [Real-world application pattern]

THEMES (with specific data):
1-5. [Themes with concrete examples]

TONE:
• Professional yet accessible
• Balance theory with practice
• Technical terms with context
• Critical thinking encouraged

<slide_format_requirements>
Generate 15-20 slides. Each slide: 4-6 bullet points.
Include practical examples and case studies.
</slide_format_requirements>

END WITH: Implementation strategies (step-by-step)

C1 (Advanced)

Create detailed slide deck for advanced practitioners (C1 proficiency).

AUDIENCE: Experienced with [advanced prerequisites].

FRAMEWORK TO EMPHASIZE:
• [Theoretical frameworks and trade-offs]
• [Industry patterns and anti-patterns]
• [Critical analysis and decision-making]

THEMES: [5-7 themes with industry data]

TONE:
• Professional and rigorous
• Nuance and complexity
• Industry-standard terminology
• Analytical and evaluative

<slide_format_requirements>
Generate 20-25 slides. Each slide: 5-7 bullet points.
Include architecture diagrams, decision matrices.
</slide_format_requirements>

END WITH: Production deployment strategies

Success Criteria (7 Gates)

Gate Check Pass Fail
1. Title Reflects framework? "AI Coding Revolution" "Introduction to AI"
2. Language Matches proficiency? A2: simple, no jargon A2 with technical terms
3. Themes All 5-7 covered? Each theme with data Themes missing
4. Tone Matches spec? Encouraging (not academic) Wrong emotional framing
5. Count Within range? A2: 12-15, B1: 15-20 Outside range
6. Arc Progression clear? problem → action Random sequence
7. Ending Actionable? Specific tasks "Keep learning!"

Score: 7/7 → Deploy | <7/7 → Iterate with refined prompt

File Naming

Format: chapter-{NN}-slides.pdf (zero-padded)

bash
# Example
mv ~/Downloads/"The-AI-Revolution.pdf" \
   "apps/learn-app/static/slides/chapter-01-slides.pdf"

Integration

Add to chapter README frontmatter:

yaml
---
title: "Chapter 1: Title"
slides:
  source: "slides/chapter-01-slides.pdf"
  title: "Chapter 1: Title"
  height: 700
---

Build-time plugin auto-injects PDFViewer before "What You'll Learn".

Batch Processing

For 3+ chapters:

  1. Create ALL notebooks first (before generating)
  2. Upload sources for all chapters
  3. Prepare all prompts in text editor
  4. Generate Chapter N → prepare N+1 prompt while waiting
  5. Download when ready → start next immediately

Daily limit: 3-5 chapters/day (NotebookLM enforced)

Troubleshooting

Issue Solution
Generation stuck >30 min Check browser console, verify no daily limit message
Text-heavy slides Add explicit "3-5 bullets, NOT paragraphs"
Generic title Include example engaging title in prompt
Missing themes List all themes numbered with specific data
Daily limit hit Wait 24h (midnight PT reset), notebooks persist

Anti-Patterns

Don't Why Do Instead
Vague audience NotebookLM can't calibrate "A2 beginners with no programming"
Skip framework Generic output Explicit 3-5 principles
Single-word tone Ambiguous "Encouraging (not intimidating)"
Leave format default Text-heavy slides Explicit bullet count
Vague endings No student action Specific next steps
