## Detailed Guide

Read [the detailed guide](references/detailed-guide.md) before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

## When to Use
Use this skill when you need to automate LinkedIn tasks such as profile fetching, connection management, or post creation via CLI, especially when integrated into automated workflows.

# 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
```

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
