LinkedIn Automator

Automate LinkedIn content creation, posting, engagement tracking, and audience growth. Use for posting content, scheduling posts, analyzing engagement metric...

Security Scan

The skill's code, instructions, and requirements are coherent with its stated purpose (automating LinkedIn via a browser); it does not request unrelated credentials or install external code, though it enables behavior that could trigger LinkedIn rate limits or TOS enforcement.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the delivered artifacts: scripts and documentation all focus on posting, scheduling, engagement, idea generation, and analytics on LinkedIn. Required tools (browser + logged-in session) are exactly what is needed; no unrelated credentials or services are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md and the included shell scripts consistently instruct the agent to use browser automation to navigate linkedin.com, interact with UI selectors, and optionally upload local images or schedule cron jobs. The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated system files or export data to external endpoints beyond LinkedIn. They do include engagement templates and pod tactics (which are part of the stated growth purpose) — this is scope-consistent but operationally sensitive (may violate platform rules).

Install Mechanism

No install spec; skill is instruction-only with bundled scripts. Nothing is downloaded from external URLs and there are no extract/install steps, so there is low filesystem/install risk.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It requires a browser session with LinkedIn logged in, which is proportionate for browser-driven automation. Scripts may reference local image file paths and a content calendar (expected and reasonable).

Persistence & Privilege

Flags show always: false and normal autonomous invocation allowed. The skill does not request permanent platform-wide privileges, nor does it modify other skills or system settings. Scheduling uses the platform's cron tool as documented (no hidden persistence).

Assessment

This skill appears internally consistent with its LinkedIn automation purpose. Before installing, be aware: (1) it requires the agent's browser tool and an active LinkedIn login — granting browser access lets the skill interact with your logged-in session and upload local images; only enable it if you trust the skill. (2) The automation patterns (mass commenting, engagement pods, scheduling) can trigger LinkedIn rate limits or violate LinkedIn policies and could lead to account restrictions — use conservative rate limits and review comment templates. (3) Review the bundled scripts (post.sh, engage.sh, etc.) yourself to confirm they only instruct browser actions you expect. (4) If you are concerned about autonomous actions, prefer manual/user-invoked use or disable autonomous invocation for this skill where your platform permits.

Automate your LinkedIn presence: post content, track engagement, generate content ideas, and grow your audience.

Prerequisites

{baseDir}/scripts/schedule.sh "Your content" --time "09:00"

Workflows

Posting Content

Use browser automation to post:

1. Navigate to linkedin.com/feed
2. Click "Start a post" button
3. Enter content in the post editor
4. Optionally attach media
5. Click "Post" button

For scheduled posts, use OpenClaw cron:

cron add --schedule "0 9 * * 1-5" --payload "Post my LinkedIn content: [content]"

Content Strategy

See references/content-strategy.md for:

• High-engagement post formats and hook templates
• Best posting times by region
• Hashtag strategies (3-5 tags, mix broad + niche)
• The 4-1-1 posting rule

Engagement Automation

See references/engagement.md for:

• Comment templates and reply strategies
• Engagement workflows to grow reach
• Growth tactics and connection request limits

Analytics Tracking

The analytics script extracts:

• Impressions per post
• Engagement rate (likes + comments + shares / impressions)
• Profile views trend
• Follower growth
• Top performing content themes

Browser Selectors

Key LinkedIn selectors (as of 2026):

Post button:    button[aria-label="Start a post"]
Post editor:    div.ql-editor[data-placeholder]
Submit post:    button.share-actions__primary-action
Like button:    button[aria-label*="Like"]
Comment button: button[aria-label*="Comment"]
Profile stats:  section.pv-top-card-v2-ctas

Rate Limits

LinkedIn enforces activity limits. Stay under:

• Posts: 2–3 per day max
• Comments: 20–30 per day
• Connection requests: 100 per week
• Profile views: Natural browsing pace only

Troubleshooting

• Login required: Ensure browser profile has an active LinkedIn session
• Rate limited: Reduce activity, wait 24h before resuming
• Selector not found: LinkedIn may have updated UI — check and update selectors
• Post blocked: Review LinkedIn content policies; avoid spam-like patterns
