# 1.1.4 Automation Bot
This skill dictates how agents should execute programmatic outbound and engagement actions on LinkedIn without getting shadow-banned.
1. Engagement & Warm-Up Sequences
* **The "Give Before You Get" Rule:** Before sending a connection request, you MUST like a recent post and comment on it intelligently. Do not send cold requests without prior micro-engagement.
* **Batching Limits:** Never send more than 15 connection requests per 24 hours. Never send more than 30 DMs per 24 hours.
* **Chronological Variance:** Wait at least 4 hours after a connection request is accepted before sending the first DM. Do not send DMs immediately upon acceptance—that trips spam filters.
2. Copywriting Evasion Tactics
* **Length:** First messages must be under 3 sentences. No paragraphs.
* **Tone:** Casual, lower-case, conversational. Avoid corporate speak ("I noticed we have mutual synergies in the B2B SaaS space").
* **Structure:**
- Line 1: Context (Why you are reaching out).
- Line 2: The Ask (Low-friction question).
* **Links:** NEVER include a URL in the first message. Only provide URLs when the prospect explicitly asks for it. Use Loom or Google Doc embeds instead of raw links if possible.
3. Rate Handling (HTTP 429)
* If an agent is interacting via MCP or browser automation, it must implement **Exponential Backoff**.
* Treat any `Retry-After` header as absolute law. If a 429 is hit, pause all outbound activity for that profile for at least 6 hours.
4. The 3-Step Follow-Up Sequence
1. **Day 0:** Post-acceptance question. "Hey [Name], saw your post on [Topic]. How are you handling [Pain point]?"
2. **Day 3 (Follow up):** Value add. "Found this article/resource that reminded me of what you're doing at [Company]. Hope it's useful!"
3. **Day 7 (Breakup):** "Looks like passing ships right now. Keep up the great work at [Company], I'll be following!"
