name: linkedin-reader
description: >
Read LinkedIn for financial research through opencli: the user's feed, and job
search with location, seniority, job type, remote, company, and date filters. Use
this skill whenever the user wants to check their LinkedIn feed, see what
professionals or analysts are posting about a company, market, or earnings, gauge
professional sentiment, or search finance and trading jobs on LinkedIn. Read-only:
it cannot post, like, comment, connect, message, or apply.
LinkedIn Skill (Read-Only)
Reads LinkedIn for financial research using opencli, a universal CLI tool that bridges web services to the terminal via browser session reuse.
This skill is read-only. It is designed for financial research: reading professional commentary on markets, monitoring analyst posts, searching finance/trading jobs, and tracking professional sentiment. It does NOT support posting, liking, commenting, connecting, messaging, or any write operations.
Important: opencli reuses your existing Chrome login session — no API keys or cookie extraction needed. Just be logged into linkedin.com in Chrome and have the Browser Bridge extension installed.
Step 1: Ensure opencli Is Installed and Ready
Current environment status:
!`(command -v opencli && opencli doctor 2>&1 | head -5 && echo "READY" || echo "SETUP_NEEDED") 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"`
If the status above shows READY, skip to Step 2. If NOT_INSTALLED, install first:
Job search results include: rank, title, company, location, listed, salary, url. With --details: also description, apply_url.
Step 4: Present the Results
Lead with what matters for the user's research question rather than a raw dump. For feed posts, attribute each one (author, headline, text, reactions and comments, URL), highlight market commentary, analyst takes, and earnings reactions, and note the bullish or bearish lean and where views are consensus or contrarian. For job results, give title, company, location, salary when available, posting date, and the listing URL. Keep browser session details private.
Step 5: Diagnostics
If something isn't working, run:
opencli doctor
This checks daemon status, extension connectivity, and browser session health.
