README

Excerpt

LinkedIn Skill (Read-Only)

Reads LinkedIn for financial research using opencli, a universal CLI tool that bridges web services to the terminal via browser session reuse.

This skill is read-only. It is designed for financial research: reading professional commentary on markets, monitoring analyst posts, searching finance/trading jobs, and tracking professional sentiment. It does NOT support posting, liking, commenting, connecting, messaging, or any write operations.

Important: opencli reuses your existing Chrome login session — no API keys or cookie extraction needed. Just be logged into linkedin.com in Chrome and have the Browser Bridge extension installed.

Step 1: Ensure opencli Is Installed and Ready

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
