/install linkedin-cli
Description
A bird-like LinkedIn CLI for searching profiles, checking messages, and summarizing your feed using session cookies.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust this skill, the linkedin-api dependency, and the machine running it with access to your LinkedIn session. Treat the cookie values like passwords, avoid exposing them in shell history or logs, and consider logging out or rotating the session if they are no longer needed or may have been exposed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: linkedin-cli
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is classified as benign. It transparently declares its need for sensitive LinkedIn session cookies (`LINKEDIN_LI_AT`, `LINKEDIN_JSESSIONID`) in `SKILL.md` and `scripts/lk.py`. The Python script uses these cookies solely to interact with the LinkedIn API via the `linkedin-api` library for its stated purpose (profile search, feed summary, messages). There is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. The behavior is clearly aligned with the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifacts coherently implement a LinkedIn CLI for whoami, profile search, profile viewing, feed summaries, and recent message checks; these are sensitive account reads but match the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The setup tells users to extract LinkedIn session cookies and the script can print recent message snippets, but the documentation does not clearly warn that these values are account-level secrets or that private communications may appear in terminal or agent logs.
Install Mechanism
Installation is visible and simple, requiring python3 and a manual pip install of linkedin-api; there is no hidden installer, but the dependency is unpinned and receives the session cookies at runtime.
Credentials
LINKEDIN_LI_AT and LINKEDIN_JSESSIONID are broad live session credentials rather than scoped read-only tokens, which is high-impact authority for a read-oriented CLI even though the environment variables are disclosed.
Persistence & Privilege
The script does not create persistence, background workers, credential files, deletion, posting, or other account mutation; the main privilege concern is use of the live LinkedIn session cookies.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install linkedin-cli - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/linkedin-cli - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
