Stars: 3K; on GitHub
Updated: Jun 2026; last repo commit

Tell Claude you want to optimize your LinkedIn profile. It works through the sections one by one: photo, banner, headline, About, Experience, Skills, Featured and Recommendations. It then returns a report with current and optimized headline text, a rewritten About section, skills to add, keywords and a numbered action list.

The skill triggers on words like LinkedIn, LinkedIn headline or recruiter. It is one SKILL.md file with no scripts, and it works from what you paste in. It does not log in to LinkedIn.

Good for

Job seekers who want to show up in recruiter searches
Professionals whose LinkedIn profile is out of date with their resume
Career changers rewriting a profile for a new field
Anyone who wants a stronger headline and About section

Questions

What does the linkedin-profile-optimizer skill do?

It makes Claude optimize your LinkedIn profile for search and recruiter visibility. It rewrites the headline, About section, experience and skills, and lines them up with your resume.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page, which installs this skill alone. The README's own recommended command, npx skills add Paramchoudhary/ResumeSkills, installs all 20 skills in the repo; it also lists a manual git clone and copy.

Does it connect to my LinkedIn account?

SKILL.md describes no connection to LinkedIn. You paste or describe your profile, and you apply the changes yourself.

Does it need an API key?

SKILL.md names no key and the skill is one file with no scripts.

Can I trust its numbers, like profile views or character limits?

Check them against LinkedIn. SKILL.md states limits, sizes and statistics, such as a 220-character headline or 21x more views for profiles with photos, without sources, and LinkedIn can change them. Its report template also asks Claude for a completeness percentage and a searchability score out of 10, which are Claude's own estimates.

Is it safe?

The skill is one text file with no scripts, so it only changes how Claude writes. Your profile and resume text go to Claude like any other chat. Check any claim or number it adds to your profile is true before you publish it.

Which other skills are in this repo?

The README lists 20 skills in the ResumeSkills repo for resumes, ATS checks, cover letters, interview prep and salary negotiation. This page covers the LinkedIn one only.
