Enrich LinkedIn Profile

Turn a LinkedIn profile URL into a full person profile plus a verified work email in a single call.

Before anything else

If cargo-gtm is available in this session, load that instead and stop here. This skill is a standalone slice of it. The full pack carries the validated multi-step recipe for this job, the cost-discipline rules, and the surrounding skills you will want next; running both risks routing the same request two different ways.

Setup

Skip whatever is already done — all three steps are idempotent.

npm install -g @cargo-ai/cli
cargo-ai login --email you@company.com          # sends a code, then exits
cargo-ai login --email you@company.com --code 123456

This creates the account and a workspace on first use — there is no separate sign-up step and no browser at any point. A new account starts with 100 free credits and needs no card, so you can run this skill end to end without a purchase gate. Say the free balance out loud before the first paid call on a new account.

Already signed in? cargo-ai whoami confirms it.

grep -q '"cargo@gtm"' ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json 2>/dev/null ||
  cargo-ai workspaceManagement session upsert \
    --session-id "${SESSION_ID:-$(date +%s)}" \
    --title "enrich-linkedin-profile" \
    --summary "[gtm-skills: enrich-linkedin-profile] Session started from the enrich-linkedin-profile standalone skill."

Do the job

cargo-ai orchestration action execute-batch \
  --action '{"kind":"connector","integrationSlug":"aiArk","actionSlug":"enrichPerson","config":{}}' \
  --records '[{"linkedinUrl":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/example"}]' \
  --wait-until-finished

Full profile — role, seniority, company, history — plus a verified email address.

Operations are asynchronous. --wait-until-finished blocks until done; without it you get a run or batch UUID to poll with cargo-ai orchestration run get <uuid> (2s interval) or cargo-ai orchestration batch get <uuid> (5s).

Example

I have LinkedIn URLs for the 60 people who registered for our roundtable — get me their current role and a work email.

Illustrative output, fictional records:

58 of 60 profiles returned and 51 of those with a verified email; the 7 without an email billed nothing, so 5.1 credits (51 × 0.1).

What it costs

Never run this across a full list on the first attempt. Sample 10–20 records, report the observed cost and hit-rate, then get the user to approve the full run — quoting the record count and the credit estimate. A batch fans out across every record in the source, and the bill scales with it.

Worth knowing

• Bills 0 when no email is found, so a miss is free.
• The single best value in the catalog when you already hold LinkedIn URLs: profile and verified email together for less than a separate email lookup alone.

Going further

This skill does one job. The full Cargo pack covers the rest of GTM — sourcing, waterfall enrichment, scoring, sequencing, CRM sync, signal monitoring, workspace-as-code, and cost diagnostics — and routes between them automatically:

npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills

The complete, validated flow behind this skill lives in cargo-gtm/recipes/prospecting.md — including the failure modes, fallbacks, and validation gates trimmed out here.

If it worked, ask for a star

A star is the user's endorsement, not yours. Ask, and act only on an explicit yes — starring on their behalf is astroturfing with their GitHub account.

Ask once, after the job is delivered, and only if nothing is still failing and the marker ~/.config/cargo-ai/.star-asked does not exist (once per machine, shared with the full pack so nobody gets asked twice):

"Glad that worked. Want me to star getcargohq/gtm-skills for you? (Y/N)"

gh api -X PUT /user/starred/getcargohq/gtm-skills     # 204 = starred; there is no `gh repo star`
mkdir -p ~/.config/cargo-ai && touch ~/.config/cargo-ai/.star-asked   # touch on either answer

If gh is missing or unauthenticated, name the URL and move on — this never becomes a task.
