Do 55 jobs on LinkedIn by typing one sentence
You ask in plain English. Your AI assistant — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT — runs the LinkedIn CLI for you and brings back the answer. You never type a command.
Works on your own LinkedIn account, from $10/month, with zero ban risk.
What it looks like
You type the sentence. It does the rest.
“Go through the 40 accounts in q3-targets.txt. Tell me who started a new role in the last ninety days, whether I'm already connecte…”
Find people who changed jobs →“Pull everyone who reacted to and commented on this post. Filter to Heads and VPs at companies over 200 people. Rank the commenters…”
Turn post likes into leads →“I have three calls tomorrow — here are the attendees. Give me a paragraph on each: current role, how long they've been in it, wher…”
Brief yourself before a call →Set up once, in about four minutes
Install it, paste your key, pick which LinkedIn account it acts as. After that you only ever write sentences.
$ npm install -g @connectsafely/cli$ export CONNECTSAFELY_API_KEY=...$ csly list-linkedin-accounts$ export CONNECTSAFELY_ACCOUNT_ID=...$ csly skill installThe package is @connectsafely/cli on npm. You need Node 20 or newer. Nothing else to install.
Then say this once at the start of a chat, so your assistant uses the CLI instead of trying to read LinkedIn directly and hitting a login wall:
“Use the ConnectSafely CLI (csly) for anything that touches LinkedIn. Run csly commands to see what exists, and csly schema before calling one. Don't guess a command name.”
All 55 use cases
54 of these were tested by giving the prompts to a real AI assistant and recording every command it ran. Those pages show you exactly what happened.
