## Description

Use LinkedIn data for profile, company, job, post, feed, inbox, recruiting, and outreach work through the bundled LinkedIn MCP server. Use only for an explicit LinkedIn request.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# LinkedIn MCP

Use the bundled `linkedin` MCP server only when the user explicitly asks for
LinkedIn data or an action on LinkedIn. Do not call LinkedIn tools for unrelated
work, health checks, or background maintenance.

## Operating rules

- Start with the smallest read operation that can answer the request.
- Treat profile, company, job, post, feed, and message results as live LinkedIn
  evidence. Distinguish retrieved facts from inference.
- Keep searches and result pages modest. Do not collect data in bulk or spam.
- Never enable the plugin or its MCP server, edit the host's plugin configuration,
  or start a login flow merely because LinkedIn might be useful. If either
  component is disabled, explain that state and stop.
- `send_message` and `connect_with_person` are write actions. Use them only when
  the user explicitly authorizes the exact recipient and action. Confirm the
  final message or connection note unless the user has already supplied it.
- `archive_conversation` is a write action too: it moves a thread out of the
  user's inbox. Use it only when the user explicitly asks to archive that
  thread.
- `dismiss_job` hides a job from every later search and cannot be undone. Use
  it only for jobs the user asked to dismiss.
- Do not retry a failed write action unless the result proves it was not sent.

## Browser and authentication

The server uses a managed Chromium browser and the user's own LinkedIn session.
Installing or enabling the plugin does not sign in. The first LinkedIn data
request may prepare the browser, import an existing local session, or require a
visible login window. If LinkedIn presents a captcha, two-factor prompt, or
other user-owned authentication step, stop and ask the user to complete it.

If browser setup or authentication is still in progress, report that exact
state and retry once after it finishes. Do not loop, launch extra browser
instances, clear profiles, or replace the user's browser session.
