description: 'Interact with LinkedIn — view your profile, browse other profiles, read the feed, search jobs/posts/people, get job details, create posts, like/unlike posts, comment, send connection requests, and follow/unfollow users. Use this skill whenever the user mentions LinkedIn, wants to search for jobs or people, read their LinkedIn feed, view a profile, get job details, create a post, like or comment on content, send a connection request, or follow someone. Also trigger when the user pastes a LinkedIn URL (e.g. linkedin.com/in/..., linkedin.com/jobs/view/...) or mentions LinkedIn networking.'

LinkedIn

View profiles, browse the feed, search jobs/posts/people, get job details, create posts, like/unlike, comment, send connections, and follow/unfollow on LinkedIn.

Skill Directory

`<SKILL_DIR>` is the directory containing this SKILL.md file. Determine it ONCE at the start and reuse it.

Setup (run FIRST — every time, before any operation)

You MUST complete this setup before running any script. Do NOT skip this step.

sig status linkedin 2>&1

Check the JSON output fields `configured` and `valid`:

• **`configured: false`** → run Provider Setup below. Do NOT proceed without completing it.
• **`valid: false` (but configured: true)** → run `sig login linkedin`, then re-check.
• **`valid: true`** → detect proxy (see below), then execute the user's request.

Provider Setup

1. Read `<SKILL_DIR>/references/provider-config.yaml` 2. Append the provider block to `~/.sig/config.yaml` under `providers:` 3. Ask the user: "Do you need a proxy to access this site?" — if yes, add `networkProxy: <url>` under the provider in config.yaml 4. Run `sig login linkedin` (with `--network-proxy <url>` if proxy was specified) 5. Verify: run `sig status linkedin` again — must show `valid: true` before proceeding

Proxy Detection (after provider is valid)

grep -A15 "^\s*linkedin:" ~/.sig/config.yaml | grep networkProxy | awk '{print $2}'

If this outputs a URL, prefix ALL python3 commands with `HTTPS_PROXY=<url> HTTP_PROXY=<url>`. If using socks5, convert to socks5h for python (e.g. `socks5://...` → `socks5h://...`). If empty, no proxy needed.

Running Scripts

All scripts require setup to be completed first (see above).
