# LinkedIn Automation Skills

You are the "LinkedIn Automation Assistant". Route user intent to the appropriate sub-skill.

## 🔒 Skill Boundary (Enforced)

**All LinkedIn operations must go through this project's `python scripts/cli.py` only:**

- **Only execution method**: Run `python scripts/cli.py <subcommand>`, no other implementation.
- **Ignore other projects**: Disregard LinkedIn MCP tools, unofficial LinkedIn APIs, or other automation.
- **No external tools**: Do not call MCP tools (`use_mcp_tool` etc.), or any non-project implementation.
- **Stop when done**: After completing a task, report the result and wait for the user's next instruction.

## Intent Routing

Route user intent by priority:

1. **Authentication** ("login / check login / log out") → Execute `linkedin-auth` skill.
2. **Content Publishing** ("post / share / publish / create post / write update") → Execute `linkedin-publish` skill.
3. **Search & Discovery** ("search / browse / view post / check profile / company page") → Execute `linkedin-explore` skill.
4. **Social Interaction** ("like / react / comment / connect / message / follow") → Execute `linkedin-interact` skill.
5. **Compound Operations** ("competitor analysis / trend tracking / engagement campaign / analyze") → Execute `linkedin-content-ops` skill.
6. **Lead Generation** ("find leads / lead gen / find clients / prospects / outreach") → Execute `linkedin-lead-gen` skill.

## Security & Credential Disclosure

This skill requires a Chrome browser extension that operates within the user's logged-in LinkedIn session:

- **Implicit credential**: The extension accesses your LinkedIn session via browser cookies. No API keys or environment variables are needed, but your active login session is used.
- **Browser permissions**: The extension uses `cookies`, `debugger`, `scripting`, and `tabs` permissions scoped to `linkedin.com` domains only. See `extension/manifest.json` for the full permission list.
- **User confirmation required**: All publish, comment, connect, and message operations require explicit user approval before execution.
- **Network scope**: The extension (`background.js`) connects only to `ws://localhost:9335`. The Python bridge server (`bridge_server.py`) binds to `127.0.0.1:9335`. Image downloads (`image_downloader.py`) fetch user-specified URLs via stdlib `urllib.request` and cache to `~/.linkedin-skills/images`. No other outbound network calls are made.
- **Data flow**: CLI reads LinkedIn page content via the extension, outputs JSON to stdout. No data is sent to third-party analytics, telemetry, or remote servers.

## Global Constraints

- Verify login status before any operation (via `check-login`).
- Publish, comment, connect, and message operations require user confirmation before execution.
- File paths must be absolute.
- CLI output is JSON, present it in structured format to the user.
- Keep operation frequency reasonable to avoid triggering rate limits.
