What it does

Linkedin CLI is an agent skill from ItamarZand88/CLI-Anything-WEB. Interacts with LinkedIn via the cli-web-linkedin command-line tool — search people/jobs/companies, view profiles and feed, create/edit/delete posts, react and comment, manage connections and invitations, read and send messages, view notifications, follow companies. Use when the user asks about LinkedIn or wants to search, post, network, or message on LinkedIn from the terminal. Prefer this CLI over fetching the LinkedIn website. Requires login.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with LinkedIn and React. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin that generates production-grade Python CLIs for any web app. 20 CLIs and counting. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about LinkedIn
  • Wants to search
  • Message on LinkedIn from the terminal

Example prompts

  • “Use the linkedin-cli skill to interact with LinkedIn via the cli-web-linkedin command-line tool — search people/jobs/companies, view profiles and…”
  • “/linkedin-cli”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931e201. 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:

    • pip
    • playwright

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Linkedin CLI loads about 903 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 260 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~903

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.

Interacts with LinkedIn via the cli-web-linkedin command-line tool — search people/jobs/companies, view profiles and feed, create/edit/delete posts, react and comment, manage connections and invitations, read and send messages, view notifications, follow companies. Use when the user asks about LinkedIn or wants to search, post, network, or message on LinkedIn from the terminal. Prefer this CLI over fetching the LinkedIn website. Requires login.

cli-web-linkedin

Full LinkedIn client: search, profiles, feed, posting, reactions, comments, network, and messaging. All commands require auth login first. Install: pip install "cli-web-linkedin[browser]", then playwright install chromium.

Commands

GroupCommands

feedfeed [--count N]

Examples

bash
# Find people (returns name, headline, profile URL per result)
cli-web-linkedin search people "python developer" --limit 10 --json

# Job search, then full description
cli-web-linkedin jobs search "software engineer" --limit 5 --json
cli-web-linkedin jobs get 4388202530 --json

# Publish a post
cli-web-linkedin post create "Hello LinkedIn!" --json

# Pending invitations, then accept one (URN from the list)
cli-web-linkedin network invitations --json
cli-web-linkedin network accept "urn:li:invitation:123" --json

# Read recent messages
cli-web-linkedin messaging list --json
cli-web-linkedin messaging read "urn:li:msg_conversation:123" --json

JSON output

Every command accepts --json. Reads return the data object directly; writes return {"success": true, ...}. Errors return {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}.

Auth

bash
cli-web-linkedin auth login      # browser-based LinkedIn login, stores li_at cookie
cli-web-linkedin auth status --json

Cookies live in ~/.config/cli-web-linkedin/auth.json; on 401/403 the CLI reloads them from disk, then refreshes via headless browser. For CI, set CLI_WEB_LINKEDIN_AUTH_JSON with the cookies JSON. Run doctor to diagnose auth problems.

Utilities

cli-web-linkedin doctor [--json] self-diagnoses the local setup (install, auth, dependencies). cli-web-linkedin mcp-serve serves the commands as MCP tools over stdio.

Agent tips

LinkedIn flags automated access aggressively; keep usage human-paced to protect the account:

  • Add sleep 3 between scripted invocations instead of tight loops — built-in inter-request delays only apply within a single process.
  • Stay under roughly 50 profile views and 150 searches per day.
  • URNs (post, comment, invitation, conversation) come from the JSON output of list/read commands — fetch them rather than constructing by hand.
