# video-series — Episodic NotebookLM video overviews (+ study aids)
Turn an existing notebook into a structured watching curriculum: a flagship **building season** (each episode assumes the prior) plus **standalone** episodes, optionally each paired with a Study Guide + Quiz. Built for visual-heavy material (schemas, architectures, SQL, math) and for a second-modality pass over an existing audio season. Tool preference: **MCP-first** (`mcp__notebooklm-mcp__*`); `nlm` CLI fallback for aliases. Reference [[notebook-init]] for sidecar conventions and `nlm-skill` for full tool docs.
## When to use which sibling skill
- [[notebook-init]] — create a brand-new notebook from scratch
- [[notebook-assist]] — work with an existing notebook: refine ONE artifact (including a single video), brainstorm, manage sources
- [[audio-series]] — episodic *audio* season; also the home of opinionated formats (debate/critique have no video equivalent)
- **video-series** (this) — generate a whole episodic *video* series/season for an existing notebook, + optional per-episode study aids

## Workflow
### 1. Identify the notebook
AskUserQuestion: `Use alias` / `Pick from list` / `Most recently used` — same as [[audio-series]]. Capture `notebook_id`, `alias`, sidecar path (`~/Projects/NotebookLMs/<alias>/`); back-fill the sidecar if missing. Pull existing artifacts (`studio_status` or `notebook_describe`) for dedupe — and **detect whether an audio season exists** (sidecar audio table or artifact l
