Firecrawl Skills
Official Firecrawl skills — scrape, search, crawl, map, and AI agent data gathering for Claude Code.
About
Firecrawl's official skills install via its own CLI (firecrawl setup skills --agent claude-code) and give agents a complete web-data toolkit: scrape for clean markdown from any page including JavaScript-heavy sites, search for web search with scraped results in one step, crawl for recursive site extraction, map for URL discovery, and an AI agent skill for autonomous multi-source data gathering from natural-language descriptions. Build skills teach API integration; workflow skills cover lead gen, SEO audits, and deep research.
The honest picture: Firecrawl is a paid API — the free tier is enough to test, not to run production workloads. JavaScript rendering and anti-bot handling are genuinely good but not infallible on the most aggressive bot protection. The skills install globally across all detected editors by default, which can surprise users who wanted project-scoped installation.
