Features for LinkedIn

Everything you need to publish and automate LinkedIn content from your terminal.

Video Posts

Upload native video posts to LinkedIn that autoplay in the feed. The skill handles LinkedIn's asynchronous upload protocol, polling for processing completion before publishing. Native video on LinkedIn generates 5x more engagement than outbound links.

Photo Posts

Publish image posts with captions directly to your LinkedIn profile. Supports JPEG, PNG, and GIF formats. Visual content consistently outperforms text-only posts in the LinkedIn algorithm, driving higher impression counts and profile visits.

Text & Article Posts

Create text posts with full formatting support including mentions, hashtags, and links. Claude Code can draft and publish thought leadership content in a single command, turning your ideas into published posts in seconds instead of minutes.

Document Uploads (PDF/PPT)

Upload PDF and PowerPoint files as native LinkedIn document carousels. Viewers swipe through slides directly in the feed — the highest-engagement format on LinkedIn. Perfect for case studies, pitch decks, frameworks, and data reports.

Company Page Posting

Publish content to LinkedIn Company Pages in addition to personal profiles. Manage your brand's presence programmatically — schedule product announcements, team updates, and industry insights without logging into the LinkedIn web interface.

Professional Analytics

Every post returns a direct LinkedIn URL and post URN for tracking. Monitor impressions, reactions, comments, and shares through LinkedIn's analytics dashboard or query the API directly using the returned identifiers to feed your reporting pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I upload a PDF document carousel to LinkedIn using Claude Code?

Ask Claude Code to post a document to LinkedIn and provide the PDF URL. For example: "Post this PDF to LinkedIn with the title 'Q1 Growth Report'." The Upload-Post skill uploads the file as a native LinkedIn document that viewers can swipe through as a carousel directly in the feed.

Can Claude Code post to a LinkedIn Company Page instead of my personal profile?

Yes. When you connect your LinkedIn account through Upload-Post, you can authorize both personal profile and Company Page access. Specify the target in your prompt — for example: "Post this update to my company page on LinkedIn." The skill routes to the correct entity automatically.

What visibility settings are available for LinkedIn posts via Claude Code?

LinkedIn supports public visibility (visible to anyone on LinkedIn) and connections-only visibility. You can specify the visibility level in your prompt. By default, posts are published as public for maximum reach. Company Page posts are always public per LinkedIn's API requirements.

Which content formats does the LinkedIn skill support?

The skill supports four content types: video posts (MP4), photo posts (JPEG, PNG, GIF), text/article posts, and document uploads (PDF, PPTX). Document carousels are particularly effective on LinkedIn — they receive up to 3x more engagement than standard text posts and keep viewers on your content longer.

Can I include hashtags and mentions in LinkedIn posts created with Claude Code?

Yes. Include hashtags and @mentions directly in your prompt text and they will be rendered as interactive links in the published post. For example: "Post to LinkedIn: Excited to announce our partnership with @Acme Corp! #SaaS #ProductLaunch." The skill preserves all formatting in the final post.
