Install in OpenClaw
/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 Python dependency, and the machine where it runs with access to your LinkedIn account session. Treat the two cookie values like passwords, avoid saving them in shell history or shared logs, and log out of LinkedIn to invalidate them if exposed or no longer needed.
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 the stated LinkedIn CLI purpose: profile search, profile lookup, feed summaries, whoami, and message previews. Those capabilities are sensitive account reads but are not hidden.
Instruction Scope
The commands are user-directed, but the skill uses live session cookies and includes message/feed access without prominently explaining that this can expose private LinkedIn data in terminal output or agent logs.
Install Mechanism
Installation is simple and visible, but it requires an unpinned `linkedin-api` package that receives the supplied LinkedIn cookies at runtime.
Credentials
`LINKEDIN_LI_AT` and `LINKEDIN_JSESSIONID` are broad session credentials, not scoped read-only tokens; the setup tells users to extract them from the browser without a clear account-access warning.
Persistence & Privilege
The script does not create persistence, background workers, credential files, deletion, posting, or account mutation. The privilege concern is the live authenticated LinkedIn session granted through environment variables.
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
