What it does

Firecrawl Workflows is an agent skill from firecrawl/skills. Run outcome-focused Firecrawl workflows that produce deliverables such as research reports, literature reviews over published papers, SEO audits, QA reports, lead lists, knowledge bases, website design systems, and other structured web-data artifacts. Use when the user wants Firecrawl to complete a business, marketing, product, or creative workflow rather than merely scrape a page or integrate API calls into code.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/workflow-authoring.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Web scraping and Deep research. It works with Firecrawl. The licence is ISC.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants Firecrawl to complete a business
  • Creative workflow rather than merely scrape a page
  • Integrate API calls into code

Example prompts

  • “/firecrawl-workflows”

Requirements

  • A credential in FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the workflow and final artifact.
  2. Collect web evidence with Firecrawl through the CLI or equivalent Firecrawl tool surface.
  3. Save or cite source evidence so the final claims are traceable.
  4. Run independent research units in parallel when available.
  5. Synthesize findings into the requested deliverable.
  6. Include a short "rerun inputs" block when the workflow could be automated.

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.

    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 Workflows loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 476 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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 Workflows

Use this when the user wants a finished deliverable powered by Firecrawl, not only raw web extraction and not product-code integration.

Choose The Workflow

If no existing workflow fits, use this generic process and produce a reusable pattern that could become a new skill.

Required Intake

Infer the workflow, inputs, audience, and output format from the user's request and surrounding context. If enough is clear, start immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise clarifying questions only when a missing input would block the work, such as:

  • the URL, company, topic, or source to analyze
  • the desired deliverable or output format
  • a constraint that would materially change the workflow

Use the host agent's normal way to ask clarifying questions. Do not depend on a harness-specific function name.

Default Process

  1. Confirm the workflow and final artifact.
  2. Collect web evidence with Firecrawl through the CLI or equivalent Firecrawl tool surface.
  3. Save or cite source evidence so the final claims are traceable.
  4. Run independent research units in parallel when available.
  5. Synthesize findings into the requested deliverable.
  6. Include a short "rerun inputs" block when the workflow could be automated.

Parallel Work

If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners for independent units such as:

  • one competitor per researcher
  • one URL or page per researcher
  • one source category per researcher
  • one analysis dimension per reviewer

Keep the handoff generic: provide the unit of work, source URLs or search terms, expected extracted fields, and output format.

Deliverable Standards

Every workflow should return:

  • a concise executive summary
  • the evidence base used
  • the analysis or artifact requested by the user
  • recommendations or next actions when useful
  • automation inputs for reruns
