≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

LinkedIn Profile Booster
Trigger
Use when the user wants to boost their LinkedIn profile, get found by recruiters, or improve their LinkedIn presence.
Keywords: "boost LinkedIn", "LinkedIn profile", "LinkedIn makeover", "recruiter visibility", "LinkedIn headline", "LinkedIn About section", "LinkedIn summary", "LinkedIn SEO", "LinkedIn keywords", "get found on LinkedIn", "recruiter search", "LinkedIn skills", "LinkedIn profile review", "improve LinkedIn", "LinkedIn not getting views"
Key Difference from Resume
LinkedIn targets all recruiters (not one employer), allows unlimited length, uses conversational tone, and is always public. Approach differently — broader keywords, more personality, expanded detail.
Process
Step 1: Headline (220 chars max)
Formula: [Role] | [Key Expertise] | [Value Proposition]
Include terms recruiters search: job title variations, key skills, tools, certifications.
Never: "Looking for opportunities", "Open to work", or just your current job title.
Step 2: About Section (target 1,500-2,000 chars)
- Hook — first 300 chars show before "see more", make them count
- Track record — 2-3 sentences with metrics
- Key strengths — 4-5 items as bullet list or → arrows
- Current context — 1-2 sentences on what you do now
- Keyword block — searchable skills as comma-separated list
- CTA — how to reach you
Write in first person, conversational tone. Front-load the most impressive content.
Step 3: Experience Section
For each role:
- 2-3 sentence role description before bullets
- 4-6 achievement bullets (more detailed than resume, can expand)
- Tag relevant skills to each position
- Add media if available (presentations, links, articles)
Step 4: Skills Section
- Use all 50 slots
- Order by relevance and endorsement count
- Include: job-specific skills, tools, methodologies, soft skills, industry terms
- Pin top 3 most important as featured
Step 5: Profile Completeness
Ensure:
- Professional headshot (face fills ~60% of frame)
- Custom background banner
- Custom headline (not default)
- About section filled
- Current + 2 past positions with descriptions
- Education listed
- 5+ skills minimum
- Featured section with best work

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
