How It Works

Monitoring Flow

1. Health Check
   └── Verify LinkedIn auth (lk CLI)
   
2. Fetch Messages
   └── lk message list --json
   
3. Compare State
   └── Filter: only messages not in state file
   
4. For Each New Message
   ├── Level 0: Alert only
   ├── Level 1: Draft reply → Alert → Wait for approval
   ├── Level 2: Simple = auto-reply, Complex = draft
   └── Level 3: Full autonomous response
   
5. Update State
   └── Record message IDs (prevents duplicates)

State Management

State is managed by scripts, not the LLM. This guarantees:

• No duplicate notifications
• Consistent behavior across sessions
• Visible state for debugging

State files: ~/.clawdbot/linkedin-monitor/state/

Sending Approved Messages

When at Level 1, approve drafts with:

send [name]           # Send draft to [name]
send all              # Send all pending drafts
edit [name] [text]    # Edit draft before sending
skip [name]           # Discard draft

Troubleshooting

"Auth expired"

lk auth login
linkedin-monitor health

"No messages found"

linkedin-monitor check --debug

Duplicate notifications

linkedin-monitor reset  # Clear state
linkedin-monitor check  # Fresh start

Dependencies

• lk CLI (LinkedIn CLI) — npm install -g lk
• jq (JSON processor) — brew install jq
