What it does
Linkedin Reader is an agent skill from himself65/finance-skills. Read LinkedIn for financial research through opencli: the user's feed, and job search with location, seniority, job type, remote, company, and date filters. Use this skill whenever the user wants to check their LinkedIn feed, see what professionals or analysts are posting about a company, market, or earnings, gauge professional sentiment, or search finance and trading jobs on LinkedIn. Read-only: it cannot post, like, comment, connect, message, or apply.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md` and `references/commands.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting and Job search and resumes. It works with LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: A collection of skills for AI financial analysis. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to check their LinkedIn feed
- See what professionals
- Analysts are posting about a company
- Gauge professional sentiment
Example prompts
- “/linkedin-reader”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 01fc7b4. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Linkedin Reader loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 673 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Read LinkedIn for financial research through opencli: the user's feed, and job search with location, seniority, job type, remote, company, and date filters. Use this skill whenever the user wants to check their LinkedIn feed, see what professionals or analysts are posting about a company, market, or earnings, gauge professional sentiment, or search finance and trading jobs on LinkedIn. Read-only: it cannot post, like, comment, connect, message, or apply.
LinkedIn Skill (Read-Only)
Reads LinkedIn for financial research using opencli, a universal CLI tool that bridges web services to the terminal via browser session reuse.
This skill is read-only. It is designed for financial research: reading professional commentary on markets, monitoring analyst posts, searching finance/trading jobs, and tracking professional sentiment. It does NOT support posting, liking, commenting, connecting, messaging, or any write operations.
Important: opencli reuses your existing Chrome login session — no API keys or cookie extraction needed. Just be logged into linkedin.com in Chrome and have the Browser Bridge extension installed.
Step 1: Ensure opencli Is Installed and Ready
Current environment status:
!`(command -v opencli && opencli doctor 2>&1 | head -5 && echo "READY" || echo "SETUP_NEEDED") 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"`If the status above shows READY, skip to Step 2. If NOT_INSTALLED, install first:
# Install opencli globally
npm install -g @jackwener/opencliIf SETUP_NEEDED, guide the user through setup:
Setup
opencli requires Node.js >= 20 and a Chrome browser with the Browser Bridge extension:
- Install the Browser Bridge extension:
- Download the latest
opencli-extension-v{version}.zipfrom the GitHub Releases page - Unzip it, open
chrome://extensionsin Chrome, and enable Developer mode - Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder
- Download the latest
- Login to linkedin.com in Chrome — opencli reuses your existing browser session
- Verify connectivity:
opencli doctorThis auto-starts the daemon, verifies the extension is connected, and checks session health.
Common setup issues
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
Extension not connected | Install Browser Bridge extension in Chrome and ensure it's enabled |
Daemon not running | Run opencli doctor — it auto-starts the daemon |
No session for linkedin.com | Login to linkedin.com in Chrome, then retry |
AuthRequiredError | LinkedIn session expired — refresh linkedin.com in Chrome and log in again |
Step 2: Identify What the User Needs
Match the user's request to one of the read commands below, then use the corresponding command from references/commands.md.
| User Request | Command | Key Flags |
|---|---|---|
| Setup check | opencli doctor | — |
| Home feed / posts | opencli linkedin timeline | --limit N (default 20, max 100) |
| Search for jobs | opencli linkedin search "QUERY" | --location, --limit N (default 10, max 100), --details |
| Finance job search | opencli linkedin search "QUERY" | --experience-level, --job-type, --remote, --company, --date-posted, --start |
Step 3: Execute the Command
General pattern
# Read LinkedIn feed posts
opencli linkedin timeline --limit 20 -f json
# Search for finance/trading jobs
opencli linkedin search "quantitative analyst" --limit 10 -f json
opencli linkedin search "portfolio manager" --location "New York" --limit 15 -f json
# Detailed job listings with descriptions
opencli linkedin search "financial analyst" --details --limit 10 -f jsonKey rules
- Check setup first — run
opencli doctorbefore any other command if unsure about connectivity - Use
-f jsonor-f yamlfor structured output when processing data programmatically - Use
-f csvwhen the user wants spreadsheet-compatible output - Use
--limit Nto control result count — start with 10-20 unless the user asks for more - For job search, use filters —
--location,--experience-level,--job-type,--remote,--date-postedto narrow results - Read-only — don't post, like, comment, connect, message, or apply to jobs

Output format flag (-f)
| Format | Flag | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Table | -f table (default) | Human-readable terminal output |
| JSON | -f json | Programmatic processing, LLM context |
| YAML | -f yaml | Structured output, readable |
| Markdown | -f md | Documentation, reports |
| CSV | -f csv | Spreadsheet export |
Output columns
Timeline posts include: rank, author, author_url, headline, text, posted_at, reactions, comments, url.
Job search results include: rank, title, company, location, listed, salary, url. With --details: also description, apply_url.
Step 4: Present the Results
Lead with what matters for the user's research question rather than a raw dump. For feed posts, attribute each one (author, headline, text, reactions and comments, URL), highlight market commentary, analyst takes, and earnings reactions, and note the bullish or bearish lean and where views are consensus or contrarian. For job results, give title, company, location, salary when available, posting date, and the listing URL. Keep browser session details private.
Step 5: Diagnostics
If something isn't working, run:
opencli doctorThis checks daemon status, extension connectivity, and browser session health.
Error Reference
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
Extension not connected | Browser Bridge not installed/enabled | Install extension and enable it in Chrome |
No session | Not logged into linkedin.com | Login to linkedin.com in Chrome |
AuthRequiredError | LinkedIn login wall detected | Refresh linkedin.com and log in again |
EmptyResultError | No results found for query | Broaden search terms or check feed has content |
| Rate limited | Too many requests | Wait a few minutes, then retry |
