## What it does

This skill restructures LinkedIn profiles to match recruiter searches. It enforces a strict headline structure within 220 characters, combining your target title with concrete business impact. For the summary, it plans a hook for the opening 300 characters. Weak openings lose reader attention immediately before anyone expands the text.

Work history gets organized into 4 to 6 measurable bullet points instead of passive duty lists. It also handles profile mechanics: banner sizing at 1584 by 396 pixels, photo framing where the face covers 60% of the frame, and filling all 50 slots in the skills catalog. Unlike a targeted resume, the resulting profile targets broader industry discoverability.
