6 Claude prompts to fix your LinkedIn

AI decides who to recommend now, and it reads your LinkedIn to do it. These 6 prompts rewrite your profile so a person, or an AI, gets what you do in seconds.

Why this matters now

AI reads your LinkedIn to decide who to name

You wrote your own LinkedIn, so you can't see what a stranger reads. And these days the stranger is often an AI. When someone asks AI who to hire, who to follow, or who to recommend, it goes and reads LinkedIn to decide, and your profile is one of the first things it trusts.

So a headline like "Founder, Cat Lover" teaches it nothing, and it moves on to someone clearer. What works is one claim you actually want to be known for, with the proof right after it, in plain words a 10 year old could follow.

The headline formula
[the one thing you want to be known for] + [proof] + [proof] + [proof]

The 6 prompts below build that claim first, then fix the rest of your profile to back it up. Run them in order, in one sitting, with your real profile pasted in.

The 6 prompts

Run them in order

1. The one thing you're known for

Start here. This finds the single claim your whole profile is built on, and tells you which one you can actually back up right now.

Copy it. Fill in anything in [brackets].
Here is my background: [paste your resume or bio, or just describe what you do and who you help]. Based on this, suggest 5 options for the one thing I could realistically be known for. Each should be a specific claim about the value I give a specific group of people, not a job title. For each option, list which of my real credentials would prove it, and tell me which one I have the most evidence for right now.

2. The recruiter read

See your profile through cold eyes: what a stranger assumes about you in the first seconds, and the exact spot they check out.

Copy it. Fill in anything in [brackets].
Here is my LinkedIn profile: [paste your headline, about, and experience]. Read it as someone deciding whether to work with me. Tell me what you assume about me in the first 10 seconds, and where you would stop reading.

3. The replaceable lines

Finds every line that could sit on a thousand other profiles in your field. Those are the ones costing you readers.

Copy it.
Point out every line in my profile that could sit on a thousand other profiles in my field. Quote each line, then tell me what it was trying to say.

4. The headline rewrite

Turns the claim from prompt 1 into a headline a stranger understands instantly. No buzzwords allowed.

Copy it.
Write 5 headline options based on what I actually do and who I do it for. No buzzwords, no "passionate about." Rank them by how fast a stranger understands my value.

5. The about section

Rewrites your about in your voice: what you solve, who for, proof it worked, and what you want next. Kept short on purpose.

Copy it.
Rewrite my about section in my voice: what I solve, who I solve it for, proof it worked, and what I want next. Keep it under 150 words and cut anything that reads like a resume.

6. The keyword gap

Surfaces the skills and terms you have real experience with but never wrote down, so search and AI can actually find you.

Copy it. Fill in anything in [brackets].
Here are 3 roles or clients I would want: [paste them]. Compare them to my profile and list the skills and terms I have real experience with but never wrote down.
Two rules that make these work

Do it in one sitting, tonight

  1. Paste your real profile, not a summaryCopy your actual headline, about, and experience straight from LinkedIn into prompts 1 and 2. The AI can only be honest with the real words.
  2. Update LinkedIn before you close the tabPaste the new headline in as soon as prompt 4 gives it to you. Later means never, and the headline is the one line everything else is built on.
Make the about section truly yours
Give Claude your real voice first

Prompt 5 rewrites your about "in your voice," but AI only knows your voice if you show it. Voss builds a voice profile from how you actually write and speak, so every rewrite starts from you.
