It treats the profile as a landing page and plans 3 to 5 weekly posts, capped at one per day. The playbook prioritises reader dwell time and discussion within the initial 60–90 minute window. External links go straight into the first comment to prevent distribution suppression. The framework references `brand-profile` and `voice-builder` context files before writing. The agent drafts post copy, outreach notes, and opening direct messages. Post queues run through WoopSocial, while follower growth and SSI tracking rely on native LinkedIn analytics. All live engagement stays strictly manual: running automated commenting or connection tools triggers account restriction hazards. ## Requirements - Works with: LinkedIn ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill linkedin-growth -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/linkedin-growth/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/linkedin-growth/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill linkedin-growth -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/linkedin-growth/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill linkedin-growth -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/linkedin-growth/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install social-media-skills/skills linkedin-growth ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/linkedin-growth/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill linkedin-growth -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/social-media-skills/skills --path skills/linkedin-growth ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/linkedin-growth/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill linkedin-growth -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/social-media-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/linkedin-growth/SKILL.md ## When to use it - turn a personal profile into a converting landing page - schedule 3–5 weekly posts structured to increase dwell time - draft 5–10 substantive comments daily for niche target profiles - set an engagement workflow for the golden-hour post window ## Example prompts - Audit my profile using the LADDER framework and rewrite the About section - Draft five thoughtful comments for target creators in my niche - Build a weekly content schedule with external links placed in the first comment ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE aa0d80eca1aaa1bc ```text --- name: linkedin-growth description: >- The LinkedIn personal-profile growth playbook for 2026. Use when someone wants to "grow on LinkedIn," "get more LinkedIn followers/reach," "a LinkedIn strategy," "how the LinkedIn algorithm works," or how to use commenting/newsletters/video/connections to grow. Dwell time + early meaningful comments are the engine, personal profiles massively out-reach company pages, links go in the first comment, and strategic commenting on target accounts is the cheapest reach on the platform. Uses the LADDER framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first. The agent drafts posts + comment copy and designs the system; a human does the live commenting/connecting/DMs; WoopSocial schedules posts; metrics come from native LinkedIn analytics (SSI as a directional check); nothing is fabricated. Single-post craft → linkedin-post-writer; company page → linkedin-company-pages. version: 1.0.0 --- # linkedin-growth The **LinkedIn personal-profile growth engine** — the profile as a landing page, what to post and how often, strategic commenting on target accounts, the golden hour, newsletters/video, and connections vs followers. The agent drafts posts + comment copy and designs the system; a human does the live commenting/connecting; **scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial** publishes the posts. Complements **linkedin-post-writer** (the single-post craft) and **linkedin-company-pages** (the page). ## The POV: dwell + comments, on a personal profile LinkedIn's algorithm rewards **dwell time** (people actually reading) and **early, meaningful comments** — likes barely move distribution, and engagement bait is down-ranked. The feed is structurally tilted to **people, not logos** (personal profiles get ~65% of feed allocation; pages ~1–5%), external **links in the body suppress reach** (put them in the first comment), and posts now have a **long shelf life** via suggested feeds — a good post travels for days or weeks. The cheapest growth lever isn't posting more: it's **thoughtful comments on bigger accounts in your niche**, which put your name in front of their audience daily. And in a feed where ~half the long posts are AI-written, **a specific, lived, first-person POV is the differentiator** — not volume. ## Read these first 1. **brand-profile** — positioning, audience, non-negotiables. 2. **voice-builder** — so posts and comments sound like one credible human. ## The framework: LADDER (Depth: `references/the-ladder-framework.md`.) - **L — Landing-page profile:** headline = value proposition (not job title); About opens with the 3 visible lines; Featured = the CTA; Follow-primary once inbound outpaces outbound. Every post's job ends at a profile visit — the profile converts it. → **profile-optimization**. ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE aa0d80eca1aaa1bc The third-party file has ended.
