28 free, MIT-licensed skills that turn Claude Code, Cursor, or any skills-compatible agent into a working LinkedIn content assistant. Each skill is a distilled methodology your agent's own model runs locally — no API keys, no accounts, nothing phones home. Humans: the same tools live at liftli.ai/tools.

A skill is an installable instruction package — a SKILL.md your agent reads and executes with its own model. Installing one teaches your agent a content craft: the hook patterns that survive LinkedIn's "see more" fold, the 8 checks of a strong headline, the tells that make writing smell like AI. The knowhow is the same behind Liftli's 28 free web tools; skills are the version built for the terminal.
Install everything with the command above, or a single skill with --skill <name> — every card below carries its exact command.
linkedin-hook-generatorLinkedIn Hook Generator
Generates 8 scroll-stopping opening lines for a LinkedIn or X post, each built on a different proven pattern (contrarian claim, number + unexpected outcome, confession, mid-story drop) and sized to survive the ~210-character “see more” fold. The agent's own model does the writing using the distilled pattern library — no API key, no account.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-hook-generatorlinkedin-post-generatorLinkedIn Post Generator
Writes a complete LinkedIn post from a topic or raw material: hook above the fold, 1–2 sentence paragraphs, concrete specifics, one clear takeaway. Encodes the editorial structure that separates posts people read from posts people scroll past.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-post-generatorlinkedin-post-rewriterLinkedIn Post Rewriter
Rewrites a draft post for reach while keeping the author's facts and voice: fixes buried hooks, wall-of-text formatting, AI-sounding phrasing and weak endings, then explains every change it made. Never invents claims that weren't in the original.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-post-rewriterlinkedin-post-ideasLinkedIn Post Ideas
Interviews the user about their actual expertise, then mines it for 15 specific post ideas across five angles: lessons & mistakes, contrarian takes, process, stories, and data. Each idea is one sharp sentence someone could immediately start writing from — no generic listicles.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-post-ideaslinkedin-comment-generatorLinkedIn Comment Generator
Writes 25–40 word LinkedIn replies with actual substance — a concrete example, a respectful challenge, an extension, a micro-story, or a genuinely useful question. Never opens with empty praise and never includes a CTA.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-comment-generatorlinkedin-carousel-outlineLinkedIn Carousel Outline
Structures a LinkedIn carousel (a PDF document post) slide by slide: cover hook, one idea per slide in under 25 words, recap, soft CTA — 8–10 slides. Text before design, because a pretty carousel with mushy slides still fails.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-carousel-outlinelinkedin-poll-generatorLinkedIn Poll Generator
Creates complete LinkedIn polls people actually answer: a question under 140 characters the reader feels qualified and eager to vote on, 3–4 chooseable options under 30 characters each, and an intro post that stakes a light opinion so comments have something to react to.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-poll-generatorlinkedin-to-xLinkedIn to X Converter
Repurposes a LinkedIn post for X (Twitter) properly instead of copy-pasting: a standalone post under 280 characters, a 4–6 post thread whose first post hooks alone, and a spicier quote-bait variant. Strips LinkedIn-isms and tightens to the core claim, because X rewards conversation.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-to-xlinkedin-contrarian-takesContrarian Take Generator
Generates 6 defensible contrarian angles on a topic — each with the take itself, the steelman of the common advice, and the conditions under which the contrarian view wins. Built for honest disagreement, not shock-bait; helps the user pick the angle they can defend from lived experience.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-contrarian-takesdevlog-to-linkedin-postCommits to LinkedIn Post
Turns a developer's real work week — commit messages, PR titles, or a described week — into a build-in-public LinkedIn post with actual narrative tension (the bug that took three tries, the feature that got cut). In a git repo, the agent can read the log itself. Never a changelog dump.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill devlog-to-linkedin-postmeeting-notes-to-linkedin-postMeeting Notes to LinkedIn Post
Mines meeting notes or call transcripts for their strongest post-worthy insight — the customer sentence that reframes the problem, the objection everyone has, a decision and its reasoning — and writes it up fully anonymized, plus two runner-up angles.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill meeting-notes-to-linkedin-postlinkedin-headline-generatorLinkedIn Headline Generator
Writes 7 LinkedIn headlines under 220 characters using different proven formulas (“I help X achieve Y through Z”, outcome + proof, role | niche | proof-point), front-loading the first ~65 characters that survive search truncation. Flags buzzwords and pipe-soup.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-headline-generatorlinkedin-headline-analyzerLinkedIn Headline Analyzer
Scores an existing LinkedIn headline against 8 checks: length vs the 220 limit, the ~65-character search cut, buzzwords, pipe count, all-caps, audience signal, and the title-only trap — with a specific fix for every failed check and one rewritten example.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-headline-analyzerlinkedin-about-generatorLinkedIn About Generator
Writes a LinkedIn About section that reads like a landing page, not a bio: a hook in the first 3 lines (all that shows before “see more”), who you help and the outcome, proof with numbers, how you work, and exactly one call-to-action. First person, 150–250 words.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-about-generatorlinkedin-profile-checklistLinkedIn Profile Checklist
Walks the user through a 25-point profile audit in five groups — photo & banner, headline & URL, About, experience & skills, activity & social proof — with a weighted score (activity and About count double) and a prioritized fix list.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-profile-checklistai-search-visibilityAI Search Visibility Audit
A GEO (generative engine optimization) audit for a person: 12 checks across Presence, Consistency and Citability that determine whether ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity can find and cite the user for their expertise. Returns a tier (Invisible / Fragments / Citable) and concrete next actions.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill ai-search-visibilitylinkedin-character-limitsLinkedIn Character Limits
A reference skill carrying every LinkedIn character limit for 2026 — posts (3,000), the ~210/~140 character “see more” folds, headline (220), About (2,600), comments (1,250), articles, messages, polls — plus the editorial rules of thumb, so the agent can length-check drafts in the terminal.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-character-limitslinkedin-post-previewLinkedIn Post Fold Preview
Computes exactly what survives LinkedIn's “see more” fold: shows the first ~210 characters (desktop) and ~140 (mobile) as readers will see them, flags cuts that land mid-word or mid-idea, and judges whether the amputated hook still creates pull.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-post-previewlinkedin-post-analyzerLinkedIn Post Analyzer
Applies a 10-point pre-publish checklist to a draft: hook fits the fold, sentence length, wall-of-text paragraphs, total length, hashtag and emoji counts, buzzwords, ending strength, bare URLs. Framed honestly as editorial best practices, not algorithm claims.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-post-analyzerai-sounding-post-checkerAI-Sounding Post Checker
Audits a draft for the tells that make readers smell AI — filler openers, “Not only… but also” constructions, enumerator adverbs, tell-vocabulary like “delve” and “seamless”, em-dash chains, uniform sentence rhythm — then fixes by adding what's missing (real numbers, real moments, actual quotes), not by paraphrasing the tells away.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill ai-sounding-post-checkerhot-take-risk-checkHot-Take Risk Check
A pre-publish second opinion on a spicy draft: a verdict (SHIP IT / SHIP WITH EDITS / RETHINK), the most uncharitable plausible reading, ranked risks, and the minimal edits that keep the edge without the backfire. The goal is braver posts, not neutered ones.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill hot-take-risk-checklinkedin-text-formatterLinkedIn Text Formatter
Converts text to Unicode bold, italic, bold-italic or monospace for LinkedIn using the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols mapping — with the honest caveats: screen readers spell it letter-by-letter and search can't index it, so use it for one or two emphasis moments, never whole posts.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-text-formatterlinkedin-line-break-fixerLinkedIn Line Break Fixer
Cleans text pasted from Google Docs or Word before it hits LinkedIn: strips zero-width characters, normalizes exotic spaces, collapses runs of blank lines, trims trailing whitespace, and reflows paragraphs to the 1–2 sentence rhythm the feed rewards.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-line-break-fixerlinkedin-engagement-rateLinkedIn Engagement Rate
Computes LinkedIn engagement rate both ways — by impressions (for your own posts) and by followers (for comparing accounts) — and interprets the number with clearly-hedged rules of thumb, small-sample caveats, and why comments outweigh reactions.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-engagement-ratelinkedin-follower-growthLinkedIn Follower Growth
Projects follower growth with compounding math and milestone estimates, wrapped in the honest caveats: real growth comes in spikes and plateaus, followers is a lagging metric, and consistency changes the slope more than any tactic.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-follower-growthlinkedin-best-time-to-postLinkedIn Best Time to Post
The honest answer on LinkedIn timing: there is no universal best time — published studies disagree because they average different audiences. Carries the commonly-reported windows plus a 4–6 week method to find the user's own best slots from first-hour impressions.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-best-time-to-postlinkedin-ghostwriter-costLinkedIn Ghostwriter Cost
Prices the three ways to keep a LinkedIn presence alive: a human ghostwriter ($500–$3,500/month), DIY (the user's hourly rate × hours per post), and software. Helps the user compute their own numbers and says plainly when a human is the right call.
npx skills add liftli-ai/skills --skill linkedin-ghostwriter-costlinkedin-image-sizesLinkedIn Image Sizes
A reference skill with every LinkedIn image dimension for 2026 — profile photo, personal banner (1584×396), company pages, post images, article covers, carousel PDFs — labeled recommended vs minimum, plus the crop rules (the profile photo overlaps the banner's bottom-left on desktop).
