LinkedIn → Apple Wallet Pass

Generates a signed Apple Wallet pass (.pkpass) from any LinkedIn profile URL. The user enters their URL and name, and gets a QR code they can scan with their iPhone (on the same WiFi) to add the pass directly to Apple Wallet — just like a boarding pass.

Setup (one-time, per user)

1. Go to https://www.walletwallet.dev → sign up free → copy your API key
2. Set it so you don't have to paste it every time:

   export WALLETWALLET_API_KEY="ww_live_..."
   

   Add that line to ~/.zshrc to make it permanent.

How to generate a pass

When this skill is invoked by Claude, ask for the LinkedIn URL first, then run the generation inline.

To run manually:

python3 /Users/usmanjameel/.claude/skills/linkedin-qr-card/scripts/generate_wallet_pass.py

The script will prompt for:

• API key (skipped if WALLETWALLET_API_KEY env var is set)
• LinkedIn URL (e.g. https://linkedin.com/in/yourname)

Then it:

1. Calls WalletWallet to generate a signed .pkpass
2. Saves it to ~/Desktop/<username>_linkedin.pkpass (e.g. usmanjameel1_linkedin.pkpass)
3. Starts a local server and prints a URL + QR code
4. On your iPhone (same WiFi): open the URL or scan the QR → "Add to Apple Wallet"
5. Server shuts down automatically after download or 5 minutes

What the pass looks like in Wallet

• LinkedIn blue (#0A66C2) background
• QR code linking directly to the profile
• Display name as the title
• "Connect on LinkedIn" label
• Works with any iPhone camera — no app needed to scan the QR

Fallback (no shared WiFi)

The .pkpass file is always saved to ~/Desktop/linkedin.pkpass. If you're not on the same WiFi:

• AirDrop the file to iPhone → tap → "Add to Apple Wallet"
• Email it to yourself → tap the attachment on iPhone

PNG card (legacy)

The original PNG wallet-card is still available if needed:

python3 /Users/usmanjameel/.claude/skills/linkedin-qr-card/scripts/generate_card.py [output_path]

Generates a 420×680px LinkedIn-branded PNG (good for Photos or printing). Defaults to ~/Desktop/linkedin_card.png.
