The Profile Reader
Pull three usable angles from a LinkedIn profile
$ npx skills add sidchaudhary/gtm-skills/skills/sdr/the-profile-readerWhat it does
Turns a prospect's LinkedIn profile text into three distinct, evidence-grounded personalization angles.
You'll know it's time when...
Openers are landing as generic, and profile research isn't turning into a first line worth sending.
How it works
Run it in three steps
Install
Copy the install command above and run it in your project.
Ask Claude
Ask for what you need in plain English, no prompt tuning required.
Get the output
Claude returns a structured artifact aligned to your ICP and voice.
The Profile Reader
Read a prospect's LinkedIn profile and return three specific opening line angles, each one grounded in something real about that person.
How to run
Ask the user to paste:
- The prospect's name, title, and company
- Their LinkedIn About section
- Any recent posts or articles they wrote (ask the user to paste the text, not just the link)
- Their job history (current role, previous roles, how long in each)
- Any other public content (speaking engagements, awards, articles)
If the user only has a LinkedIn URL and no text, ask them to open the profile and copy-paste the relevant sections. Do not attempt to fetch LinkedIn URLs directly.
Output format
Return three angles, labeled clearly:
Angle 1: Based on something they posted or wrote Quote or closely reference specific content. The prospect should read this and think "they actually read my post." One sentence, under 25 words.
Angle 2: Based on their career move Reference the specific transition: previous role to current role, or a notable shift in direction. Frame it around their new priorities, not just the job change. One sentence, under 25 words.
Angle 3: Based on a business challenge implied by their company's situation Do not reference something the prospect personally wrote. Infer a challenge from their company's current stage or recent news and frame it as something they, in their specific role, would be responsible for solving. One sentence, under 25 words.
After the three angles, add one line: which angle you recommend for a first cold email and why.
Rules
- No flattery ("I loved your post on...")
- No vagueness ("I saw you work in marketing")
- No manufactured urgency
- Each angle must work as a standalone opening line, not a setup that requires more context
Quality check before returning
Before returning the output, verify:
- Is each angle under 25 words and a single sentence?
- Is Angle 3 clearly framed as an inference about the company's situation, not stated as a confirmed fact about the prospect?
- Are flattery, vagueness, and manufactured urgency all absent from every angle?
- Does the recommended angle actually match one of the three delivered, with a real reason given?
If any check fails, rewrite the relevant angle before returning.

Questions about The Profile Reader
Everything you need before installing, plus how the skill actually behaves once Claude picks it up.
Turns a prospect's LinkedIn profile text into three distinct, evidence-grounded personalization angles. It's a Claude Agent Skill - a folder with a SKILL.md file and reference material - so Claude loads the methodology on demand when you ask for what you need in plain language, instead of you pasting a template.
