linkedin-scan

A local tool that turns a LinkedIn data export into a ranked list of connections matching an ideal customer profile, meaning the type of person or company you want to reach.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a LinkedIn export ZIP or folder to score connections against a chosen profile and produce a ranked worklist plus an interactive page.
Why use it?
It helps narrow a large network into an outreach worklist without sending the raw export into the conversation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

linkedin-scan scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LinkedIn network scan

One-command entry point for the linkedin-network-scan skill. Point it at your LinkedIn data export and get back a ranked worklist plus an interactive page, scored locally against an ICP you control. The raw CSVs never enter the conversation - a deterministic, LLM-free script collapses them to a compact digest first.

Argument: $ARGUMENTS - the path to the export ZIP or unzipped export folder, with an optional --icp <file>. If no path is given, ask for one.

Procedure (in order)

  1. Read the skill at skills/linkedin-network-scan/SKILL.md and follow it end to end. The skill owns the flow: the export gate, the ICP choice, the local run, and reading only the compact digest.

  2. The whole run is one command the skill issues:

    python skills/linkedin-network-scan/scan.py <export> <output-folder> --icp <icp.yaml>
    
    • <output-folder> MUST be outside any git repo - it holds real names and profile URLs. The user's home directory or Desktop is fine.
    • --icp is optional. Two example ICPs ship with the skill (sales / partnership and career / talent). Omit it for the permissive default and say so.
  3. After the run, read ONLY network-scan.md (the compact ranked digest). Do not read the CSV, the JSON, or the raw export - that is the token waste this skill exists to avoid. Then summarise: how many connections were read, how many qualified, how many replied before, and how many invitations are pending. Point the user at network-scan.html (anonymised demo, safe to record and share) and network-scan-full.html (real names and links, local only).

  4. If the run prints a freshness warning (export older than ~30 days), relay it and the re-pull steps before treating the worklist as current.

Rules

  • This command is a thin trigger. All logic lives in the skill. Do not duplicate the steps here.
  • The scoring engine is deterministic and free-plan only - no scrapers, no paid tools, no API calls. Only optional narrative or synthesis afterward uses the session's own Claude.
  • Never analyse an export the user did not personally download. Refuse on consent grounds.
  • Output files hold real names and URLs. Tell the user to keep the output folder local and never commit it.
  • If the skill file is missing, reply: LinkedIn scan skill not found at skills/linkedin-network-scan/SKILL.md. Restarting Claude Code fixes this most of the time, because it reloads what is installed. If it happens again after a restart, say "update Founder OS". and stop.
  • No em dashes or en dashes. Hyphens only with spaces.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

linkedin-scan is a command published in the GitHub repository ARCASSystems/FounderOS (5 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 768 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
