What it does

Linkedin Growth is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The LinkedIn personal-profile growth playbook for 2026. Use when someone wants to "grow on LinkedIn," "get more LinkedIn followers/reach," "a LinkedIn strategy," "how the LinkedIn algorithm works," or how to use commenting/newsletters/video/connections to grow. Dwell time + early meaningful comments are the engine, personal profiles massively out-reach company pages, links go in the first comment, and strategic commenting on target accounts is the cheapest reach on the platform. Uses the LADDER framework. Reads…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/comment-and-post-recipes.md` and `references/linkedin-2026-reality.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Newsletters, Social media posts and Messaging and chat bots. It works with LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone wants to grow on LinkedIn
  • Get more LinkedIn followers/reach
  • A LinkedIn strategy
  • How the LinkedIn algorithm works

Example prompts

  • “grow on LinkedIn,”
  • “get more LinkedIn followers/reach,”
  • “a LinkedIn strategy,”
  • “/linkedin-growth”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. brand-profile — positioning, audience, non-negotiables.
  2. voice-builder — so posts and comments sound like one credible human.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Growth loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 222 tokens; SKILL.md has 755 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~222
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.2k

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.

linkedin-growth

The LinkedIn personal-profile growth engine — the profile as a landing page, what to post and how often, strategic commenting on target accounts, the golden hour, newsletters/video, and connections vs followers. The agent drafts posts + comment copy and designs the system; a human does the live commenting/connecting; scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial publishes the posts. Complements linkedin-post-writer (the single-post craft) and linkedin-company-pages (the page).

The POV: dwell + comments, on a personal profile

LinkedIn's algorithm rewards dwell time (people actually reading) and early, meaningful comments — likes barely move distribution, and engagement bait is down-ranked. The feed is structurally tilted to people, not logos (personal profiles get ~65% of feed allocation; pages ~1–5%), external links in the body suppress reach (put them in the first comment), and posts now have a long shelf life via suggested feeds — a good post travels for days or weeks. The cheapest growth lever isn't posting more: it's thoughtful comments on bigger accounts in your niche, which put your name in front of their audience daily. And in a feed where ~half the long posts are AI-written, a specific, lived, first-person POV is the differentiator — not volume.

Read these first

  1. brand-profile — positioning, audience, non-negotiables.
  2. voice-builder — so posts and comments sound like one credible human.

The framework: LADDER

(Depth: references/the-ladder-framework.md.)

  • L — Landing-page profile: headline = value proposition (not job title); About opens with the 3 visible lines; Featured = the CTA; Follow-primary once inbound outpaces outbound. Every post's job ends at a profile visit — the profile converts it. → profile-optimization.
  • A — Author for dwell: win the "…see more" tap, format for the read, mix text / document carousel / native video / newsletter; link in the first comment. → linkedin-post-writer.
  • D — Deploy strategic comments: 5–10 substantive comments/day on target accounts in the niche — the afterburner. A comment is content, not a courtesy. → reply-and-comment-writer.
  • D — Drive the golden hour: first 60–90 min decides reach; post in the audience window, reply to every comment, comment around your own post time. Max 1 post/day, 3–5/week.
  • E — Expand with native surfaces: newsletter (notification + email push), native video (the 2026 push), audio events; SSI as a directional health check, never the goal.
  • R — Relationships & network hygiene: connections (capped, ~100 invites/week) vs followers (unlimited); no-pitch invites; DMs warm, not pitch-slaps. → social-selling-and-dm.

The reality (verify-quarterly)

Feed allocation and reach decline, dwell + comment weighting, the golden hour, link suppression, format hierarchy (carousels/video/text), the see-more cutoff, creator mode's retirement, connection caps, newsletters, SSI, the AI-content flood, cadence: references/linkedin-2026-reality.md. Post types + the commenting playbook + worked examples: references/comment-and-post-recipes.md.

Honest scope (never violate)

  • The engagement core is human — the agent drafts posts, comment copy, invite notes, and DM openers; a human posts the live comments, sends invites, and holds the conversations. No auto-commenting, no auto-connect tooling (a restriction risk on LinkedIn specifically).
  • WoopSocial schedules the posts (text + media + optional link; native document carousels, polls, newsletters, and audio events are posted/run natively). No update → delete + recreate. For link-in-first-comment, the agent supplies post + comment; the pair is posted by tool/human.
  • No analytics in WoopSocial → read native LinkedIn analytics (impressions, members reached, profile viewers, followers) and SSI as a directional check. Never fabricate metrics.
  • No engagement bait, pods, mass-tagging, bought followers, or broetry theatre — down-ranked by the algorithm and quietly judged by the exact professionals you're trying to reach. (Scope, distinctions + connections: references/scope-and-connections.md.)

Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)

linkedin-growth (this) = the PERSONAL-profile growth system (profile, cadence, commenting, golden hour, features, network) · linkedin-post-writer = how to write one post well · linkedin-company-pages = the page strategy + employee advocacy (advocates' personal posting routes back here) · reply-and-comment-writer = drafting the comments/replies themselves · engagement-routine = the recurring daily engagement block · social-strategy = the cross-platform plan.

Where this connects

Reads first: brand-profile, voice-builder. Post craft: linkedin-post-writer, hook-writer, carousel-writer (document-carousel slides), talking-head-and-piece-to-camera (native video). Profile: profile-optimization. Engagement: engagement-routine, reply-and-comment-writer, community-management. Discovery: social-seo (headline/About keywords), ai-search-optimization (LinkedIn is a B2B AI-answer source), trend-jacking. Pipeline: social-selling-and-dm, lead-magnets-and-funnels; long-form owned channel: email-and-newsletter. Plan/measure: social-strategy, goals-and-kpis, analytics-and-reporting (native LinkedIn analytics). Publish: scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (posts; live comments/invites/DMs are human).

Definition of done

A profile audited as a landing page (headline = value prop, Featured = CTA, Follow-primary decision made); a 3–5 posts/week plan, max 1/day, with links in the first comment and format mix mapped to dwell; a named list of 10–20 target accounts with a 5–10 comments/day playbook (drafted by the agent, posted by a human); a golden-hour routine (audience window, reply-to-every-comment); native surfaces decided deliberately (newsletter yes/no, video cadence); connection-request hygiene with no-pitch invite copy; posts routed to scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial with live engagement flagged human; metrics from native LinkedIn analytics + SSI directionally; no bait/pods/bought followers/ broetry; correctly distinguished from linkedin-post-writer and linkedin-company-pages.
