Ingest public or authenticated knowledge bases and docs portals with Firecrawl browser.

  • Login-gated portals

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Paginated help centers

What it does

Firecrawl Knowledge Ingest is an agent skill from firecrawl/skills. Ingest public or authenticated knowledge bases and docs portals with Firecrawl browser. Use for JS-heavy docs, login-gated portals, paginated help centers, support knowledge bases, or structured JSON/markdown extraction from documentation sites.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Sales & Support, covering Web scraping, Help center and FAQ content and Static sites and blogs. It works with Firecrawl. The licence is ISC.

When your agent uses it

  • Login-gated portals
  • Paginated help centers
  • Support knowledge bases
  • Structured JSON/markdown extraction from documentation sites

Example prompts

  • “/firecrawl-knowledge-ingest”

Requirements

  • A credential in FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d0ffd7c. 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 Knowledge Ingest loads about 565 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 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
~565

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 Knowledge Ingest

Use this when a docs portal needs browser navigation, auth, pagination, or JS rendering.

Onboarding Interview

Infer the portal URL, output format, auth needs, and page limit from context. If the portal is clear, proceed immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the portal URL, whether authentication is required, or the desired output format.

Firecrawl Collection Plan

Use Firecrawl browser to:

  • open the portal and inspect navigation
  • identify sections, categories, sidebar links, and article URLs
  • follow sidebar navigation, next links, pagination, load-more controls, or search
  • scrape article content as markdown
  • extract metadata such as title, section, last updated date, author, and tags

Try Firecrawl map as a supplement for public URLs, but use browser navigation for auth-gated or JS-heavy content.
