Read before automating LinkedIn with browser_* tools. LinkedIn combines shadow DOM (#interop-outlet), strict Trusted Types CSP that silently drops innerHTML, Lexical composer, native beforeunload dialogs that hang the bridge, and aggressive spam filters — each has bitten us at least once. Verified flows for profile messaging, connection-request acceptance, feed composition, and search. Requires hive.browser-automation. Verified against logged-in production 2026-04-11.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# LinkedIn Automation LinkedIn is the hardest mainstream site to automate because it combines **shadow DOM** (`#interop-outlet` for messaging), **strict Trusted Types CSP** (silently drops `innerHTML`), **heavy React reconciliation** (injected nodes get stripped on re-render), **native `beforeunload` draft dialogs** (hang the bridge), and **aggressive spam filters**. Every one of those has bit us at least once. This skill documents what actually works. **Always activate `browser-automation` first.** This skill assumes you already know about CSS-px coordinates, `browser_type`/`browser_type_focused`, and `browser_shadow_query`. The guidance below is LinkedIn-specific; general browser rules are there. ## Rule #0: screenshot + coordinates, not selectors LinkedIn changes class names aggressively and hides composers inside shadow roots AND iframes. **Selectors break constantly.** Your default strategy on every LinkedIn page should be: 1. `browser_screenshot()` — see the page visually 2. Pick the target's position from the image 3. `browser_coords(image_x, image_y)` → get CSS pixels …

How to install
mdr add aden-hive/hive/hive.linkedin-automation@sha256:0fe897aaaf17f2ecThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
