The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈5

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use when the user wants to boost their LinkedIn profile, get found by recruiters, or improve their LinkedIn presence.

    line 10
  2. Distinctive:

    Never: "Looking for opportunities", "Open to work", or just your current job title.

    line 26
  3. Distinctive:

    Write in first person, conversational tone.

    line 37
  4. Distinctive:

    Add media if available (presentations, links, articles)

    line 45
  5. Distinctive:

    Don't copy resume verbatim — expand and add personality

    line 92

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

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)

  1. Hook — first 300 chars show before "see more", make them count
  2. Track record — 2-3 sentences with metrics
  3. Key strengths — 4-5 items as bullet list or → arrows
  4. Current context — 1-2 sentences on what you do now
  5. Keyword block — searchable skills as comma-separated list
  6. 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

Output Format

## LinkedIn Profile Boost

**Current:** [their headline]
**Boosted:** [new headline]

[Full rewritten text]

### Experience Improvements
**[Role]:** [specific changes]

### Skills to Add

1. [ ] [task]

Rules

  • Headline keywords carry the most search weight — choose carefully
  • Don't copy resume verbatim — expand and add personality
  • First line of About section is the most critical real estate
  • Recommend "Open to Work" visible to recruiters only (not green badge) for discreet search

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

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.
