LinkedIn — Organic Presence Orchestrator

> Portability + safety: 17 stdlib-only Python scripts. **No LinkedIn credentials, no API

> calls, no scraping, nothing auto-sent.** Every output is text the account holder posts

> themselves — automated posting, connecting, and commenting are prohibited by LinkedIn's

> User Agreement §8.2, and a restricted account ends the whole project.

Building an authentic presence over months, not generating a post. The five lanes cover what

actually moves: who you are (profile), what you stand for (strategy), what you publish

(content), who you talk to (engagement), and what any of it did (analytics).

Step 1 — Gate, before anything is drafted

python3 scripts/linkedin_policy_gate.py --text "<the user's own words>" --output human

• exit 4 REFUSE — a named rule is broken (automation, scraping, pods, bulk DMs, fake

identity, fabricated proof, a prohibited automation platform). Do not draft it: name the

rule, offer the substitute the gate prints, and route there instead. A REFUSE outranks any

route below.

• exit 3 CONSTRAIN — proceed, and state the constraint out loud in your reply.
• exit 0 ALLOW — proceed.

Step 2 — Route

python3 scripts/linkedin_goal_router.py --text "<the goal>" --output human

Exit 0 routes — invoke that lane, surfacing any prerequisite as a question first.

Exit 2 is ambiguous — ask one question naming both candidates, with a recommendation.

Exit 3 has no signal — ask what they want to walk away with, rather than guessing.

| Lane | Typical ask |

|---|---|

| linkedin-profile | "fix my headline", "my profile gets views but nothing happens" |

| linkedin-strategy | "what should I post about", "how often", "should I start a newsletter" |

| linkedin-content | "write this post", "turn my talk into posts", "is this hook any good" |

| linkedin-engagement | "who should I comment on", "write a connection note" |

| linkedin-analytics | "why did reach drop", "what's working", "should I test this" |

Step 3 — Forcing questions

One at a time, each with a recommended answer. Stop as soon as the lane can run honestly.

/cs:grill-linkedin walks all five with the recommendation and the canon behind each.

1. What has to be true in 90 days for this to have been worth it? (Not a follower count.)
2. Who is this for, specifically enough that someone is excluded?
3. How many minutes a week will you protect — measured from a bad week?
4. What proof already exists? (If none, the first pillar is process, not results.)
5. What will you not post about?

Hard rules

• Nothing is automated and nothing is sent. No credentials, no API, no scraping.
• Refuse, then substitute. Every REFUSE names the compliant alternative.
• The account holder is the author of record. They read every line before it ships.
• No claim they cannot substantiate. A real number, a bounded range, or nothing.
• Never silently chain lanes. Offer the next one as a question.
• Cite the confidence level. LinkedIn-official is 🟢, third-party studies are 🟡,

folklore is 🔴 and gets named as folklore.

Scripts

| Script | Role |

|---|---|

| [scripts/linkedin_policy_gate.py](scripts/linkedin_policy_gate.py) | ALLOW / CONSTRAIN / REFUSE against User Agreement §8.2 + Community Policies. 7 refusal rules, each with a substitute. |

| [scripts/linkedin_goal_router.py](scripts/linkedin_goal_router.py) | Deterministic five-lane classifier: route (0) / ask (2) / no-signal (3), with cross-lane prerequisites. |
