LinkedIn Stats Extractor

Extracts statistics from LinkedIn recent activity page and displays them in a table format.

IMPORTANT:

• This skill uses a bash shell script (linkedin_stats.sh), not a TypeScript file
• When running this skill, only display the markdown table output from the script
• Do NOT add any summary, analysis, or commentary about the results
• The output MUST be a properly formatted markdown table with adequate cell padding
• Simply run: ./linkedin_stats.sh <username> (or just ./linkedin_stats.sh for default)

Usage

Simply invoke the skill and provide your LinkedIn profile username:

/linkedin-stats jovezhong

Or use the default (configured for Jove Zhong):

/linkedin-stats

What it does

1. Connects to Arc browser via CDP on port 9222
2. Navigates to your LinkedIn recent activity page
3. Extracts post data including:
   • Post date (exact dates for hours/days, relative format like "1w ago" for weeks/months)
   • First few words of post content
   • Impression count
   • Reaction count (likes/emojis)
   • Comment count
   • Repost count
4. Displays the most recent 10 posts in a markdown table

Requirements

• Arc browser must be running with remote debugging enabled on port 9222
• The LinkedIn page must be accessible (user must be logged in)
• agent-browser command must be available

Example Output

The output is a properly formatted markdown table with adequate cell padding:

| # | Date       | Content                                      | Impressions | Reactions | Comments | Reposts |
|---|------------|----------------------------------------------|-------------|-----------|----------|---------|

Important: Only display the table portion, not the progress messages or completion status.

Technical Details

• Implementation: Bash shell script (linkedin_stats.sh) that orchestrates the extraction
• Extraction: Python script (scripts/extract_linkedin_posts.py) processes the snapshot
• Output format: Markdown table with properly padded cells for visual alignment
• Uses text-based extraction (not screenshots) to minimize token usage
• Date handling:
  • Exact dates for recent posts: "9 hours ago" → 2026-01-17, "1 day ago" → 2026-01-16
  • Relative format for older posts: "1 week ago" → "1w ago", "2 months ago" → "2mo ago"
  • This approach avoids incorrect date assumptions for posts older than a week
• Handles LinkedIn's lazy loading by scrolling through the page multiple times
• Extracts data from accessibility tree snapshot (agent-browser snapshot -c)
• Captures reaction counts (likes/emoji reactions) in addition to comments and reposts
• Content field is left-justified with padding to ensure table alignment

Notes

• LinkedIn may not load all posts due to lazy loading (posts 6-8 are sometimes skipped)
• Impression counts update in real-time
• Works best with the "All activity" → "Posts" filter selected
