What it does

Firecrawl Company Directories is an agent skill from firecrawl/skills. Extract structured company lists from directories with Firecrawl. Use for scraping YC, Crunchbase, Product Hunt, G2, startup directories, category directories, or custom company databases into JSON, CSV, CRM-ready lists, or research tables.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. It works with Firecrawl. The repository describes itself as: Firecrawl agent skills for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor: web search, scraping, crawling and browser interaction. Firecrawl is the most complete web data API for AI agents. The licence is ISC.

When your agent uses it

  • Startup directories
  • Category directories
  • Custom company databases into JSON
  • CRM-ready lists

Example prompts

  • “/firecrawl-company-directories”

Requirements

  • A credential in FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5348e9e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Firecrawl Company Directories loads about 557 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 162 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~557

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Firecrawl Company Directories

Use this to turn startup or company directories into structured lists.

Onboarding Interview

Infer the directory, filters, result count, and output format from context. If the source is clear, proceed immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the directory URL/name, required filters, or target result count.

Firecrawl Collection Plan

Use Firecrawl browser when the directory needs filters, pagination, infinite scroll, or profile clicks. Use scrape/map when listings are public and static.

Suggested sources include YC companies, Crunchbase, Product Hunt, G2 categories, or any custom directory URL.

Extraction Fields

Capture fields that are visible:

  • name
  • description
  • industry/category
  • stage/founded/location/team size/funding when visible
  • tags
  • directory profile URL
  • company website URL

Leave unavailable fields blank. Do not infer.
