hive.linkedin-automation

hive.linkedin-automation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aden-hive/hive. It costs 99 tokens per session (5,147 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for automating LinkedIn with browser controls, including profiles, messages, and other page interactions. It accounts for LinkedIn's frequently changing page structure and built-in spam protections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when taking screenshots, clicking by screen coordinates, finding elements inside embedded page areas, typing messages, or handling LinkedIn navigation and draft dialogs.
Why use it?
Ordinary browser selectors and injected page content can stop working on LinkedIn, especially in messaging areas, making automation unreliable.

About the project

OpenHive is a runtime for groups of specialized AI agents that collaborate on long-running business processes. A persistent lead agent, called the Queen, creates and coordinates worker agents while the system manages state, recovery, observability, costs, and human oversight. The catalogue entries provide agent skills, instructions, and integrations for working with this harness.

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

hive.linkedin-automation 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 1mo 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 Automation

LinkedIn is the hardest mainstream site to automate because it combines shadow DOM (#interop-outlet for messaging), strict Trusted Types CSP (silently drops innerHTML), heavy React reconciliation (injected nodes get stripped on re-render), native beforeunload draft dialogs (hang the bridge), and aggressive spam filters. Every one of those has bit us at least once. This skill documents what actually works.

Always activate browser-automation first. This skill assumes you already know about CSS-px coordinates, browser_type/browser_type_focused, and browser_shadow_query. The guidance below is LinkedIn-specific; general browser rules are there.

Rule #0: screenshot + coordinates, not selectors

LinkedIn changes class names aggressively and hides composers inside shadow roots AND iframes. Selectors break constantly. Your default strategy on every LinkedIn page should be:

  1. browser_screenshot() — see the page visually
  2. Pick the target's position from the image
  3. browser_coords(image_x, image_y) → get CSS pixels
  4. browser_click_coordinate(css_x, css_y) — reaches shadow DOM, iframes, and React elements indifferently
  5. browser_type(use_insert_text=True, text=...) — types into whatever is focused, including Lexical composers

If browser_evaluate(...querySelectorAll...) returns [] even once, do not try a different selector. Stop, screenshot, and click. The "what if I try .artdeco-list__item next" instinct has burned ~50 tool calls in real sessions before the agent pivoted. Don't fall into that loop.

The selectors in the table below are only for when you already know the target is in the light DOM and you want a faster path than screenshot+coord. When in doubt, default to coordinates.

Invitation manager — inline message button path is BROKEN

If the user asks to message a connection request from the invitation manager page without accepting first, the inline "Message" button opens a composer inside a nested iframe overlay (not a shadow root). The iframe's contentDocument is either cross-origin-blocked or not hydrated at access time. This path is not reliably automatable today.

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.
