What it does

Linkedin Influencer Discovery is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Discover top LinkedIn influencers and voices by topic, industry, follower count, and country. Use when you need to find the top 100 voices in a space, build influencer lists for outreach, or identify thought leaders on LinkedIn.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/discover_influencers.py` and `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Influencer and creator marketing. It works with LinkedIn and Apify. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to find the top 100 voices in a space
  • Build influencer lists for outreach
  • Identify thought leaders on LinkedIn

Example prompts

  • “/linkedin-influencer-discovery”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in APIFY_API_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • APIFY_API_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Linkedin Influencer Discovery loads about 884 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 275 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~884

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

LinkedIn Influencer Discovery

Discover top LinkedIn influencers by topic, country, and follower count using the Apify powerai/influencer-filter-api-scraper actor. Queries a database of 3.6M+ influencer profiles filtered to those with LinkedIn presence.

Quick Start

Requires APIFY_API_TOKEN env var (or --token flag). Install dependency: pip install requests.

Cost

~$0.01 per result. 100 influencers ~ $1.00. The script prints a cost estimate before running.

Output Fields

Each influencer result includes (when available):

  • full_name - Display name
  • username - Social media handle
  • biography - Bio text
  • follower_count - Total followers (across platforms)
  • following_count - Following count

Notes

  • Results are sorted by follower count (descending) by default

  • Follower counts are across all platforms, not LinkedIn-specific
  • The --min-followers and --max-followers flags filter client-side after results return
  • For detailed profile enrichment, use the Apify harvestapi/linkedin-profile-scraper actor on the discovered LinkedIn URLs
  • For post analysis, use the Apify harvestapi/linkedin-profile-posts actor on the discovered LinkedIn URLs
