What it does
Skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Windsurf that work through the `@linkedapi/linkedin-cli` command-line client and the Linked API service. The general-purpose `linkedin` skill fetches profiles, searches people and companies, sends messages, manages connections and creates posts. The `linkedin-growth` skill builds a two-phase pipeline: importing and qualifying leads against an ICP, then sending connection invites on a schedule from one or more accounts. The `npx @linkedapi/skills` installer finds agents, asks what to install and where, and prepares dependencies. For scripts there are `--yes` and `--json` modes and `list`, `update`, `remove` and `doctor` commands. The report separately shows whether a skill is installed and whether it is ready.
Who it is for. Sales people, recruiters and marketers who handle LinkedIn professional contacts through an agent and understand platform limits.
Good fit when
- You need to find people and companies by criteria and collect profiles.
- A lead list is qualified against the ICP and invites are prepared.
- Posts and messages are published from the agent across several accounts.
- Before work the environment is checked with `npx @linkedapi/skills detect --json`.
Not a fit when
- LinkedIn tokens cannot go to the third-party Linked API service.
- Automating LinkedIn actions is forbidden by company or platform rules.
- You need an official LinkedIn integration with no intermediary.
Example request
Use the `linkedin` skill to find product managers at fintech companies and show a profile list without sending any messages.Limitations
Work goes through the third-party Linked API service, tokens come from `app.linkedapi.io` and use may be paid. Node.js 20 or newer and `@linkedapi/linkedin-cli` are required. Scheduled automatic messages and invites from several accounts can violate LinkedIn rules and lead to account restrictions, and the user is responsible for compliance. The `linkedin-growth` skill needs registered accounts in its database and `npm install --omit=dev` for a manual install.
How to disable. Remove the skills with `npx @linkedapi/skills remove` and the package with `npm uninstall -g @linkedapi/linkedin-cli`. Revoke Linked API tokens in the service dashboard and delete the `linkedin-growth` accounts database by hand.
FAQ
How do I install it?
Run `npx @linkedapi/skills`: the installer finds agents and asks what and where to install. One skill installs with `npx @linkedapi/skills add linkedin --yes`.
What does ready: false mean?
The skill is installed but not yet configured, for example LinkedIn tokens are not connected. The exit code is 0, so read the JSON.
How do the skills differ?
`linkedin` covers general actions: profiles, search, messages, posts. `linkedin-growth` runs a lead pipeline with scheduled invites.
How do I install manually?
Copy the skill folder into `.claude/skills/<skill>/` or `~/.claude/skills/<skill>/`. For `linkedin-growth` run `npm install --omit=dev` and `node scripts/doctor.mjs`.
Which license?
