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 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 2d 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 Skill

You have access to linkedin – a CLI tool for LinkedIn automation. Use it to fetch profiles, search people and companies, send messages, manage connections, create posts, react, comment, and more.

Each command sends a request to Linked API, which runs a real cloud browser to perform the action on LinkedIn. Operations are not instant – expect 30 seconds to several minutes depending on complexity.

If linkedin is not available, install it:

npm install -g @linkedapi/linkedin-cli

Authentication

If a command fails with exit code 2 (authentication error), ask the user to set up their account:

  1. Go to app.linkedapi.io and sign up or log in
  2. Connect their LinkedIn account
  3. Copy the Linked API Token and Identification Token from the dashboard

Once the user provides the tokens, run:

linkedin setup --linked-api-token=TOKEN --identification-token=TOKEN

Global Flags

Always use --json and -q for machine-readable output:

LINKEDAPI_CLIENT=skill:linkedin linkedin <command> --json -q

When using this skill, run every linkedin ... example below with the LINKEDAPI_CLIENT=skill:linkedin prefix so Linked API can attribute usage to the skill.

Flag Description
--json Structured JSON output
--quiet / -q Suppress stderr progress messages
--fields name,url,... Select specific fields in output
--no-color Disable colors
--account "Name" Use a specific account for this command

Output Format

Success:

{"success": true, "data": {"name": "John Doe", "headline": "Engineer"}}

Error:

{"success": false, "error": {"type": "personNotFound", "message": "Person not found"}}

Exit code 0 means the API call succeeded – always check the success field for the action outcome. Non-zero exit codes indicate infrastructure errors:

Exit Code Meaning
0 Success (check success field – action may have returned an error like "person not found")
1 General/unexpected error
2 Missing or invalid tokens
3 Subscription/plan required
4 LinkedIn account issue
5 Invalid arguments
6 Rate limited
7 Network error
8 Workflow timeout (workflowId returned for recovery)

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.
