Two LinkedIn skills for AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf), powered by the LinkedIn CLI and the Linked API service: 'linkedin' covers general automation — fetch profiles, search people and companies, send messages, manage connections, create posts — and 'linkedin-growth' runs a two-phase lead pipeline that imports and qualifies leads against your ICP, then sends connection invites on a schedule across one or more accounts.

Extract company headcount and hiring trends from LinkedIn profiles at scale
