Organizes research with the self-hosted Open Notebook alternative to NotebookLM. Supports source ingestion (PDFs, web pages, audio, video, and Office documents), cited document chat, text and vector search, notes, custom transformations, and multi-speaker podcasts. Use when automating Open Notebook through its REST API or configuring its local or cloud AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, Groq, and Mistral.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Open Notebook ## Overview Open Notebook organizes sources, notes, and AI conversations into research notebooks. It supports several AI providers through Esperanto, full-text and vector search, custom transformations, and podcast generation with speaker profiles. Application storage is self-hosted; content sent to configured cloud models is not local-only. This skill targets the latest published release observed on 2026-09-30, [v1.14.0](https://github.com/lfnovo/open-notebook/releases/tag/v1.14.0). Request/response contracts were checked against its official source and current main commit `3127f14ea9dbb519f0e4ddc64a0742ca644ba6ef`. Bundled helpers have mocked HTTP regression tests; deployment, ingestion, and paid AI calls were not run against a live instance. Deployment and remote workflow examples are illustrative. ## Quick Start ### Installation Use Docker Desktop/Engine with Compose. The upstream docker-compose file configures SurrealDB v2 and the `lfnovo/open_notebook:v1-latest` application image. It mounts `./notebook_data` at `/app/data` and `./surreal_data` at `/mydata`. ```bash curl --fail --location --output docker-compose.yml \ …

How to install
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/open-notebook@sha256:39f3bb01946218b5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
