File contents

LinkedIn Post

Post text + optional image to LinkedIn using CDP browser automation against a logged-in Chrome session.

Prerequisites

Clawdbot installed (script auto-starts the browser if not running)
Logged into LinkedIn (cookies at cookies/linkedin-zeusbycreatoros.json)
ws npm package available

Quick Usage

Text-only post

node skills/linkedin-post/scripts/linkedin-post.js --text "Your post text here"

Text + image post

node skills/linkedin-post/scripts/linkedin-post.js \
  --text "Your post text here" \
  --image /path/to/image.png

Custom CDP port

node skills/linkedin-post/scripts/linkedin-post.js \
  --text "Post text" \
  --cdp-port 18800

Output

stdout: Post URL (e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:...) or POST_SUCCESS_NO_URL
stderr: Progress/error messages
Exit 0: Success
Exit 1: Error

How It Works

Connects to Chrome via CDP WebSocket
Finds or opens a LinkedIn tab, navigates to feed
Clicks "Start a post" to open the editor dialog
Injects text via innerHTML on LinkedIn's Quill editor (.ql-editor)
If image provided: clicks "Add media", uploads via DOM.setFileInputFiles
Clicks "Post" and waits for success dialog
Extracts and returns the post URL

Formatting Notes

Double newlines (\n\n) become separate paragraphs
HTML entities are auto-escaped
LinkedIn supports emojis natively in post text
@mentions in text appear as plain text (not linked mentions) unless LinkedIn auto-resolves them

Cron Automation

To schedule LinkedIn posts via cron, ensure the browser is running and LinkedIn session is active. Example cron job text:

Post to LinkedIn: "Your scheduled content here" with image /path/to/image.png

The agent reads this skill, runs the script, and confirms the post URL.

Troubleshooting

Browser won't start: Script auto-starts via clawdbot browser start or the control server at :18791. If both fail, start manually.
Not logged in: Re-import cookies or log in manually via browser automation
Post button disabled: Text may be empty or image upload failed — check stderr
Timeout on selector: LinkedIn UI may have changed — update selectors in script
