In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when connecting with a named prospect on LinkedIn. It creates two draft notes, each under 200 characters, for the user to choose from and approve.
Why use it?
It removes the pressure to invent a message or turn a connection request into a sales pitch. It also prevents made-up personal details by asking for a genuine hook when none is provided.

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-connection-note 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

LinkedIn Connection Note

A connection note is not a pitch. It earns the accept by referencing one real, specific detail. This skill writes two short variants so the operator can pick.

Inputs

  • The target profile (name, role, company) and how you found them, plus the one real hook (a post they wrote, a comment, a mutual, a signal): $ARGUMENTS
  • The brief (persona tone, pains, voice) loads automatically.

Do this

  1. Pull the single most specific real hook from the input. If there is no real hook, say so and ask for one. Do not invent it.
  2. Write Variant A: a connection note that opens on that exact detail. Under 200 characters. No pitch.
  3. Write Variant B: a different angle on the same hook, or a second real detail. Under 200 characters. No pitch.
  4. Count the characters in each. If either is over 200, cut it down and recount.

Output

Variant A and Variant B, each on its own line, with the exact character count in brackets after it (for example: [184 chars]). One line below: each is draft only, pick one, then approve before it goes out.

Rules

  • Under 200 characters, counted and shown. No exceptions.
  • No pitch, no ask, no offer. The note buys the accept, nothing more.
  • No "I came across your profile", no "hope you're well", no exclamation marks.
  • No em-dashes. Use a comma, a period, or " - ".
  • Reads like one peer messaging another about a real thing they noticed.
  • Draft only. Claude drafts, the operator approves and sends.
  • Sending happens only through the connected opt-in CLI/MCP layer wired to your own LinkedIn session or provider key, and is hard-capped at 20 actions per day on new accounts. This skill never sends.

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.
