LinkedIn Skill

Overview

This public intake copy packages

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/linkedin-cli

https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Authentication, Global Flags, Output Format, Important Behavior, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• Building outreach, research, or recruiting workflows that rely on LinkedIn data and messaging.
• Enriching leads or accounts by fetching people and company profiles in bulk.
• Coordinating multi-step Sales Navigator or workflow runs where JSON output and exit codes are required.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

## Related Skills

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Authentication

If a command fails with exit code 2 (authentication error), ask the user to set up their account:

1. Go to app.linkedapi.io and sign up or log in
2. Connect their LinkedIn account
3. Copy the Linked API Token and Identification Token from the dashboard

Once the user provides the tokens, run:

linkedin setup --linked-api-token=TOKEN --identification-token=TOKEN

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @linkedin-cli to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @linkedin-cli against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @linkedin-cli for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @linkedin-cli using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Account Management

linkedin account list                            # List accounts (* = active)
linkedin account switch "Name"                   # Switch active account
linkedin account rename "Name" --name "New Name" # Rename account
linkedin reset                                   # Remove active account
linkedin reset --all                             # Remove all accounts

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/linkedin-cli

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated

SKILL.md

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Global Flags

Always use

Imported: Output Format

Success:

{ "success": true, "data": { "name": "John Doe", "headline": "Engineer" } }

Error:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": { "type": "personNotFound", "message": "Person not found" }
}

Exit code 0 means the API call succeeded – always check the

Imported: Important Behavior

• Sequential execution. All operations for an account run one at a time. Multiple requests queue up.
• Not instant. A real browser navigates LinkedIn – expect 30 seconds to several minutes per operation.
• Timestamps in UTC. All dates and times are in UTC.
• Single quotes for text arguments. Use single quotes around message text, post text, and comments to avoid shell interpretation issues with special characters.
• Action limits. Per-account limits are configurable on the platform. A

  limitExceeded

  error means the limit was reached.
• URL normalization. All LinkedIn URLs in responses are normalized to

  https://www.linkedin.com/...

  format without trailing slashes.
• Null fields. Fields that are unavailable are returned as

  null

  or

  []

  , not omitted.

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
