# Agent Skills

> Open-source skills that teach coding agents how to call the Edges API correctly, installable as a plugin.

**Agent skills** are instructions written for coding agents rather than for people. Each one covers a single Edges endpoint — its inputs, the URL formats it accepts, what it returns, and the mistakes agents typically make with it — so an agent building against Edges gets it right the first time instead of inferring it from the reference.

They live in a public repository, under Apache 2.0.

  76 skills covering the LinkedIn and Sales Navigator API, plus five guides.

## Installing

The repository ships as a plugin, so an agent that supports plugins picks up every skill at once rather than needing them pasted in. Clone it, or point your agent's plugin configuration at the repository — see the README for the exact steps for your tool.

<Note>
  Skills describe **how to call Edges**. They don't hold your API key, and they don't run anything on their own — your agent still authenticates and makes the calls.

## What's covered

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="One skill per action" icon="list-check">
    Extraction, search, messaging, engagement and Sales Navigator — each documented action has a matching skill, linked from its API reference page.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Five cross-cutting guides" icon="compass">
    Getting started, URL construction, identities, outreach sequencing and error handling — the parts an agent gets wrong across every endpoint.
  </Card>
</Columns>

Every action page in the [API Reference](/v1/api/introduction) carries a link to its skill where one exists. Going the other way, a skill names the action it belongs to, so the two stay in step.

<Info>
  **Cookieless by default.** The skills assume [managed mode](/v1/identities/modes#managed-accounts), so an agent can extract and search without a LinkedIn account being connected first. Outreach skills still require a connected identity, because the action has to come from a real person.
</Info>

## URL construction

The single most common source of failed calls is a malformed LinkedIn URL — Sales Navigator URLs in particular carry query state that has to be preserved exactly. The `edges-url-construction` skill covers this across every endpoint, and is worth loading even when your agent only uses one action.
