This repo ships a .claude-plugin manifest, so Claude Code can install all 13 skills at once. Plugin skills are invoked as /<plugin>:<skill>, so they never collide with your own.

The folder is the same in every client that implements the format — 46 of them — so if yours is not above, only the destination changes.
Before you install: this skill will not complete its job on a bare agent. It needs APIFY_TOKEN, which you have to obtain separately.

LinkedIn Profile Optimizer
Audit the nine components of a LinkedIn profile (photo, banner, headline, About, Featured, Experience, Skills, custom URL, recommendations) against 2026 best practices, then rewrite each section that needs it. Optimized profiles get ~3.9x more views and convert visitors 3-5x better than default/resume-style profiles.
When to use
- User asks for an audit and pastes their profile text (a bare URL is not readable, see Input)
- User wants to rewrite their headline, About section, or Featured section
- User is launching a content strategy and needs the profile to match
- Any of: "review my profile", "fix my headline", "optimize bio", "profile audit", "LinkedIn optimization"
Input
Paste the profile, do not just link it. The read layer covers posts, comments and engagers; there is no profile actor, so a profile URL cannot be fetched, with an APIFY_TOKEN or without one. Open the profile, copy the sections, paste them in. Screenshots of the visual parts work too.
- Profile text: headline, About, Experience entries, Skills, custom URL
- The visual three (photo, banner, Featured): screenshots, or a sentence describing each
- Goal: clients / job seeking / authority — Featured and CTA vary by goal
- Optional: draft content to grade against the existing profile
If the user supplies only a URL, ask for the text before scoring anything. Never score a section you have not been shown, and never infer profile content from the URL slug.
Output
A structured audit + rewrite in this shape:
- Scorecard (9 sections, pass/fail/needs-work)
- Priority fixes (ranked by impact)
- Before → After rewrites for each failing section
- Expected uplift (based on benchmark data)
Steps
- Intake. Collect profile state + goal. If only a URL arrived, ask for the pasted text first. Flag missing sections.
- Score each of 9 sections against the checklist (see references/).
- Rewrite headline using
[What You Do] | [Who You Help] [Achieve What Result]— fit all 220 chars. - Rebuild About with 7-step structure; verify first 265-275 chars hook before "see more".
- Curate Featured (3 strong items) matched to the goal:
- Clients: lead magnet + case study with results + calendar link
- Job seeking: portfolio + best work samples + top-performing post
- Authority: best content + media/podcast features + newsletter signup
- Rewrite Experience bullets as
action verb + specific metric. Add 5+ skills per role. Pin top 3 skills. - Claim custom URL (linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname, not the
-123abc456default). - Draft recommendation requests with specifics ("about [project/skill]") — don't send LinkedIn's generic template.
- Deliver before/after diff + expected uplift (3.9x views, 3-5x conversion, 71% more likely to land interviews).
Nine-component scorecard
| # | Section | Pass criteria (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Photo | ≥400x400, face fills 60% of frame, <3 years old, natural light, slight smile |
| 2 | Banner | 1584x396, text in right 2/3, high contrast, includes value prop + CTA, tests well on mobile |
| 3 | Headline | Uses all 220 chars; format `[What You Do] |
| 4 | About | 200-300 words, first-person, 7-step structure, hook in first 265-275 chars |
| 5 | Featured | 3 items, matched to goal, custom 1200x627 thumbnails |
| 6 | Experience | Every bullet = action verb + metric, 5+ skills per role, media attached |
| 7 | Skills | 50 listed, top 3 pinned, mirrors target job descriptions, ≥1 endorsement each |
| 8 | Custom URL | linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname (not the default hash) |
| 9 | Recommendations | At least 3 recent, specific (not generic), from diverse contexts |
Key benchmarks (from co.actor research)
- Optimized About sections: 3.9x more views
- 5+ listed skills: 3x more connection requests
- Comprehensive profile: 71% more likely to land interviews
- Featured section content: 30% longer viewing time
- Personal founder profile vs company page: 315% more engagement, 270% more conversions
Hard rules
Global voice rules: see root SKILL.md §Voice rules. Additional skill-specific rules:
- First person ("I help...") never third person ("Jane is a passionate...")
- Never "passionate thought leader" / "driven professional" / "results-oriented" (profile-specific AI vocab)
- Avoid wall-of-text. Use line breaks in About section
- 80% of users leave Featured empty. Filling it is a free edge
