Agent Skills

Agent Skills are ready-to-use skills for AI agents. Each skill teaches your agent a specific LinkedIn workflow, so you can run complex tasks with a single prompt – no glue code, no brittle browser scripts.

They work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Windsurf, and are powered by LinkedIn CLI and Linked API.

Source code available on GitHub.

Install

Pick whichever fits how you work – both end up in the same place.

Option 1 – One command

bash

npx @linkedapi/skills

The installer detects the agents you already have, asks which skills to install and where (project or global), and sets up the prerequisites for you. That's it.

Option 2 – Let your agent install it

Hand this line to your AI agent and it does the rest:

Read https://linkedapi.io/skills/install.md and follow it.

For a single skill, give it that skill's own runbook instead – e.g. https://linkedapi.io/skills/linkedin/install.md or https://linkedapi.io/skills/linkedin-growth/install.md.

Prerequisites

The installer checks and offers to set these up – you rarely touch them by hand:

Node.js 20+
LinkedIn CLI – npm install -g @linkedapi/linkedin-cli
Linked API tokens – your Linked API Token and Identification Token from

After installing, restart your agent – skills load at startup.

Available skills

Skill	Description
LinkedIn	General-purpose LinkedIn automation – profiles, search, messages, connections, posts, and more

Advanced: scripting the installer

Every step is also available non-interactively for CI or agent use (all support --json):

bash

npx @linkedapi/skills detect --json                 # inspect the environment
npx @linkedapi/skills add linkedin --yes            # install one skill
npx @linkedapi/skills add linkedin linkedin-growth \
  --agent claude-code --agent codex --scope project --yes --json

Other commands: list, update, remove, doctor. See npx @linkedapi/skills --help.
