What it does

Firecrawl Crawl is an agent skill from firecrawl/skills. Bulk-extract many pages from one site or section. Use for "crawl", "everything under /docs", or content spanning linked pages.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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 licence is ISC.

When your agent uses it

  • Everything under /docs
  • Content spanning linked pages

Example prompts

  • “everything under /docs”
  • “/firecrawl-crawl”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(firecrawl *), Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)

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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(firecrawl *)
    • Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)

    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 bash).

    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 Crawl loads about 467 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~467

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 crawl

Bulk extract content from a website. Crawls pages following links up to a depth/limit.

Prerequisite: crawl requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.

Quick start

bash
# Crawl a docs section
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --include-paths /docs --limit 50 --wait -o .firecrawl/crawl.json

# Full crawl with depth limit
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --max-depth 3 --wait --progress -o .firecrawl/crawl.json

# Check status of a running crawl
firecrawl crawl <job-id>

Run firecrawl crawl --help for the full option list.

Done when: the crawl reaches a terminal status and the saved output under .firecrawl/ contains the expected pages.

Tips

  • Use --wait when you need the results immediately. It has no default timeout; use --timeout <seconds> to bound polling. Without --wait, crawl returns a job ID for async polling.
  • Scope crawls with --include-paths whenever the request names a section — crawl only the pages you need.
  • Crawl consumes credits per page. Check firecrawl credit-usage before large crawls (credit-usage requires authentication).
