LinkedIn

ALWAYS show the user a preview and ask for explicit confirmation before posting or deleting. The preview, confirmation and media rules live in the social-manager skill — follow them; this skill only adds what is specific to LinkedIn.

Use the MCP tools

The myclawbots MCP server is pre-configured on this machine. Do all LinkedIn work through its tools — there is no separate LinkedIn API to call:

• list_social_accounts — call FIRST. LinkedIn rows have platform: "linkedin".
• create_upload_url — stage a local image, then PUT the bytes (see social-manager).
• post_to_social — {platform: "linkedin", account_id, content, media_url | media_urls}.
• get_recent_posts, delete_post — LinkedIn Pages only (see below).

Profile vs company Page

Connected accounts are managed in the MyClawBots dashboard (Settings → Connectors). A LinkedIn account is one of two kinds, shown by account_type:

• "profile" — the person. Posting publishes as them. Publish-only: recent posts, deletion, insights and comments are not available.
• "page" — present only when a LinkedIn Page account is connected. page_name is the company; posting publishes as the company. Its recent posts can be read (no like or comment counts) and its own posts deleted.

Say which one in every preview — "Posting as Acme Corp (LinkedIn Page)" or "Posting as Jane Doe (LinkedIn profile)". If both kinds are connected and the user didn't say which, ask.

Limits

• 3000 characters per post.
• Text, one image, or a 2-10 image carousel (JPG, PNG or GIF). No video.
• No scheduling, drafts, articles, polls, insights or comments — offer what is possible instead of trying.
• #hashtags stay live on a Page post; 3–5 is plenty.
• Company Page posting may not be available yet. If the user asks to post as their company and no account_type: "page" row exists, say no Page is connected — never post to the profile instead, and don't talk about LinkedIn reviews or approvals.

Writing for LinkedIn

• Keep it professional; lead with the insight in the first two lines (the rest is behind "…see more").
• Avoid overly promotional language and engagement bait.
• Best reach is usually Tuesday–Thursday mornings in the audience's timezone — suggest a time, but post only when the user confirms.
• After posting, relay any notice verbatim and give the permalink when the result has one.
