LinkedIn Inbound Run Skill

LinkedIn Inbound Run

Runs the LinkedIn Inbound Agent to monitor incoming messages.

When to use

"check LinkedIn messages"
"run LinkedIn inbound agent"
"any new messages on LinkedIn?"

How to execute

Step 1: Check prerequisites

# Check that Chrome is running with debugging
lsof -i :9222
# Should show a Chrome process on port 9222

# If Chrome is not running:
$SCRIPTS_PATH/start_chrome_linkedin.sh

Step 2: Run the agent

Dry-run (no CRM writes, no notifications):

cd $AGENTS_PATH/linkedin-inbound
python3 linkedin_inbound_agent.py --dry-run

Full run:

cd $AGENTS_PATH/linkedin-inbound
python3 linkedin_inbound_agent.py

Notification test:

python3 linkedin_inbound_agent.py --notify-test

Step 3: Check results

# View summary
today=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
cat $AGENTS_PATH/logs/linkedin-inbound-$today.md

# View error log
tail -20 $AGENTS_PATH/logs/linkedin_inbound_errors.log

# View agent log
cat $AGENTS_PATH/logs/linkedin_agent_log.json | jq '.[-5:]'

Step 4: Notify the user

How many messages were processed
How many new contacts
How many POSITIVE/QUESTION replies
Whether manual review is needed

Output

Telegram notification in Saved Messages (if there are actionable items)
Summary log: agents/logs/linkedin-inbound-{date}.md
CRM updates: sales/crm/activities.csv, sales/crm/relationships/leads.csv
Staged contacts: sales/crm/staging/linkedin_inbound_new_contacts.csv

Errors

CDP connection failed

ERROR: CDP connection failed: ...

Resolution:

Start Chrome with debugging:
```
$SCRIPTS_PATH/start_chrome_linkedin.sh
```
Open LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/messaging/
Check login

Classification failed

Agent automatically switches to fallback classification (rule-based). Check if Claude CLI works:

echo "test" | claude -p --model haiku

Telegram failed

Notification text is saved in the log file even if Telegram is not working.

tail -f /tmp/linkedin-inbound-agent.log

Scheduled run

Agent runs automatically via launchd:

# Status
launchctl list | grep linkedin-inbound

# Stop
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.yourcompany.linkedin-inbound.plist

# Start
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.yourcompany.linkedin-inbound.plist

# View logs
tail -f /tmp/linkedin-inbound-agent.log
tail -f /tmp/linkedin-inbound-agent-error.log
