linkedin-message-writer
Research LinkedIn profiles and write personalized messages for any LinkedIn message type — connection requests, InMails, DMs, message requests, post comments, and comment replies. Takes LinkedIn URLs as input, researches each person (profile data + recent posts via Apify), and generates messages tailored to each lead's background, interests, and recent activity. Exports tool-ready CSVs for Dripify, Expandi, Botdog, PhantomBuster, or generic format. No LinkedIn cookies or login required.
npx skills add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills --skill linkedin-message-writer --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

Where does this skill come from?
From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
