What it does

Firecrawl Lead Research is an agent skill from firecrawl/skills. Produce pre-meeting lead intelligence briefs with Firecrawl. Use when the user needs company research, person research, recent news, talking points, pain points, or outreach preparation before a sales call, partnership meeting, investor conversation, or customer interview.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 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, Lead generation and Sales call preparation. It works with Firecrawl. The licence is ISC.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs company research
  • Person research
  • Outreach preparation before a sales call
  • Partnership meeting

Example prompts

  • “/firecrawl-lead-research”

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 Lead Research loads about 580 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~580

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 Lead Research

Use this to create a concise, actionable pre-meeting brief.

Onboarding Interview

Infer the company, person, meeting context, and desired brief depth from context. If the company is clear, proceed immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the company/person to research or the meeting context.

Firecrawl Collection Plan

Use Firecrawl search and scrape to gather:

  • company website, about, product, pricing, careers, team, and customer pages
  • recent news, funding, launches, hiring, partnerships, and press
  • public person profiles, talks, posts, interviews, and role/background
  • relevant industry context and likely business challenges

Parallel Work

If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners:

  • Company Profile researcher
  • Recent News and Activity researcher
  • Person researcher
  • Industry/Pain Point researcher

Each researcher should return source URLs and only evidence-backed claims.

Final Deliverable
