What this is
Taplio, a LinkedIn tool, published 26 Claude skills in a free GitHub repo under the MIT license, so anyone can use, copy or change them. A skill is a set of instructions Claude follows for one job, like writing a post or replying to comments.
Every skill needs Taplio connected to Claude. That connection is how Claude reads your real posts, comments and numbers, and how it saves drafts to your account. The repo says the skills don't run without it.

The skills are free, the Taplio account isn't
You need a Taplio account for the skills to work. Taplio has a 7-day free trial. After that, paid plans start at $39 a month on its pricing page (checked October 14, 2026).
Two actions need a bigger plan, according to the repo. Queueing likes needs Growth or higher, and sending connection requests needs Enterprise.
The four from the reel
- Post Writer turns a rough idea into a finished post and gives you three versions to pick from. The one you pick gets saved as a draft.
- Comment Opportunity Finder picks the five posts worth commenting on today. It scores live posts on how new they are, how fast the comments are coming in, whether the author's audience matches yours, and whether the topic fits what you talk about. Smart Comment Writer then reads the thread and writes three comment options for the post you choose.
- Comment Reply Manager pulls every comment still waiting for an answer under your posts, sorts them into questions, pushback, lead signals, praise and spam, and drafts a reply for each one. Spam doesn't get a reply.
- Warm Lead Finder scores the people in your comments on how well they fit your audience and how interested they sound, then tells you who's worth a conversation. It writes the reply that starts it and picks the next step: a connection request, a DM, or not yet. DM Opener writes the first message once they accept.

Set it up
Get a Taplio account first. If you don't have one, start the free trial at taplio.com.
1. Connect Taplio to Claude
In Claude on the web or the desktop app, go to Customize > Connectors > Discover, search "Taplio", click Connect to Claude, sign in to Taplio and click Allow access. The direct link is claude.ai/customize/connectors/id/taplio.
In Claude Code, run this in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http taplio https://mcp.taplio.com
2. Install the skills
In Claude Code or Cowork, one command installs all 26:
npx skills add TaplioOfficial/taplio-linkedin-claude-skills
You can also copy single folders from the repo's skills folder into ~/.claude/skills/. If you'd rather use a plugin, Taplio ships the same 26 skills as taplio-linkedin-plugin. Connect Taplio first, because the plugin doesn't include the connection.
3. Run one
Reload Claude and ask for a skill by name:
Use the linkedin-post-writer skill to turn this idea into a LinkedIn post: [your rough idea]
Each skill checks your Taplio connection first. If it isn't connected, the skill stops and walks you through connecting it.
On ChatGPT, Cursor or another app, add a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.taplio.com, then paste a skill's text in as instructions (everything below the short block at the top of its SKILL.md file).
Nothing posts until you say so
The skills save posts, comments and replies as drafts. Publishing a post, posting a comment under your name, queueing a like and sending a connection request all wait for your go, and the repo says the skills never skip that step.
After you approve a comment, it shows as pending with a scheduled time, and the skill checks that it went live before telling you it posted. Replies and comments share an hourly limit, so a big batch goes out over a few hours.
