firecrawl

SKILL.md

Web scraping, search, crawling, and browser automation with LLM-optimized markdown output.

Supports six command modes: search for discovery, scrape for single URLs, map to locate subpages, crawl for bulk site sections, browser for interactive content, and download for offline archives

Returns clean markdown formatted for LLM context windows; write results to .firecrawl/ directory to avoid redundant fetches and manage large outputs

Includes escalation workflow: start with search or scrape, use map to find specific URLs within sites, switch to browser when content requires clicks, form fills, or login interactions

Parallel job execution up to concurrency limit; check firecrawl --status for remaining credits and active job slots before running bulk operations

Firecrawl CLI

Search, scrape, and interact with the web. Returns clean markdown optimized for LLM context windows.

Run firecrawl --help or firecrawl <command> --help for full option details.

If the task is to integrate Firecrawl into an application, add FIRECRAWL_API_KEY to a project, or choose endpoint usage in product code, use the firecrawl-build skills. If the task is an outcome workflow such as deep research, SEO audit, QA, lead generation, knowledge-base creation, dashboard reporting, shopping research, or website design-system extraction, use the firecrawl-workflows skills. They are already installed alongside this CLI skill when you run firecrawl init.

Prerequisites

Must be installed. Check with firecrawl --status.
