Create LinkedIn publishing Power

[verhasi]

Goal

Create a Kiro Power that enables publishing posts directly to LinkedIn.

Motivation

After publishing blog posts, a shortened version is typically cross-posted to LinkedIn for professional visibility. Currently requires manual copy-paste.

Challenges

• LinkedIn API requires OAuth 2.0 and approved app registration
• API access for posting is restricted (requires Marketing Developer Platform or Community Management API approval)
• More locked down than dev.to

Research Needed

• Check if a LinkedIn MCP server exists in the community
• Evaluate LinkedIn API approval feasibility
• Consider alternative approaches (browser automation?)

Proposed Structure (if feasible)

linkedin/
├── POWER.md              # Frontmatter + publishing workflow
├── mcp.json              # LinkedIn MCP server (if available)
└── steering/
    └── publishing-workflow.md   # LinkedIn post best practices, formatting tips

Minimum Viable Version

Even without API integration, a steering-only Power could help with:

• Optimal post length and formatting for LinkedIn
• Best posting times and engagement tips
• How to structure shortened versions of blog posts
• Hashtag strategies

Priority

Low — API friction is high. dev.to Power (#3) is more practical first.
