# LinkedIn Skill

You have access to `linkedin` – a CLI tool for LinkedIn automation. Use it to fetch profiles, search people and companies, send messages, manage connections, create posts, react, comment, and more.

Each command sends a request to Linked API, which runs a real cloud browser to perform the action on LinkedIn. Operations are **not instant** – expect 30 seconds to several minutes depending on complexity.

If `linkedin` is not available, install it:

```bash
npm install -g @linkedapi/linkedin-cli
```

## Authentication

If a command fails with exit code 2 (authentication error), ask the user to set up their account:

1. Go to [app.linkedapi.io](https://app.linkedapi.io) and sign up or log in
2. Connect their LinkedIn account
3. Copy the **Linked API Token** and **Identification Token** from the dashboard

Once the user provides the tokens, run:

```bash
linkedin setup --linked-api-token=TOKEN --identification-token=TOKEN
```

## Global Flags

Always use `--json` and `-q` for machine-readable output:

```bash
LINKEDAPI_CLIENT=skill:linkedin linkedin <command> --json -q
```

When using this skill, run every `linkedin ...` example below with the
`LINKEDAPI_CLIENT=skill:linkedin` prefix so Linked API can attribute usage to the skill.

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--json` | Structured JSON output |
| `--quiet` / `-q` | Suppress stderr progress messages |
| `--fields name,url,...` | Select specific fields in output |
