Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads firecrawl/skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.
npx skills add firecrawl/skills
What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the skill’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
Any live-web task via the Firecrawl CLI — including ordinary web research: searching the web, reading or extracting pages, gathering sources, discovering site URLs, bulk extraction, downloading a site, change alerts, or pages needing clicks/login — web only; local files route to firecrawl-parse. For US legal or regulatory questions use gov; for papers use firecrawl-research-index; for library, API, error, or bug questions use firecrawl-developer-index.
