What it does

Firecrawl Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze and resolve current Firecrawl v2 validation, authentication, credit, policy, rate, concurrency, timeout, and server errors. Use when an API or SDK call fails. Trigger with "Firecrawl error", "Firecrawl 429", "Firecrawl 402", or "Firecrawl forbidden".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; Firecrawl Cloud work requires network access

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. It works with Firecrawl. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • With Firecrawl error
  • Firecrawl forbidden

Example prompts

  • “Firecrawl error”
  • “Firecrawl 429”
  • “Firecrawl 402”
  • “/firecrawl-common-errors”

Requirements

  • A credential in FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; Firecrawl Cloud work requires network access
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Capture the HTTP status, error string, optional code/details, request or job ID, operation, timestamp, SDK version, and a redacted request…
  2. Check metadata.statusCode on returned documents. A captured 403 or 404 page consumes a result path and should not be handled like an API…
  3. For 400 or 422, validate the request against the current endpoint schema and simplify JSON extraction requirements before retrying.
  4. For 401, verify secret injection and key selection without printing the key. For 402, stop work and route the credit or billing decision…
  5. For 403, inspect plan entitlement, team ownership, endpoint/format key restrictions, IP restrictions, or policy controls; never bypass…
  6. For 429, distinguish rate from concurrency pressure, honor Retry-After when available, reduce producers, and use queue status evidence.
  7. For retryable timeouts or server failures, use bounded exponential backoff with jitter, then escalate with redacted IDs and timestamps.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ea8d4. 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:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; Firecrawl Cloud work requires network access

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Firecrawl Common Errors loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 518 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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 Error Triage

Overview

Translate an error into a safe next action using Firecrawl's published error catalog. Do not retry every non-success response and do not confuse a returned document with an origin error status for an API failure.

Prerequisites

  • The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
  • The source authorization, data classification, and environment policy.
  • Current Firecrawl documentation, credentials only when needed, and an owner for approvals.

Current Contract

Non-2xx REST responses normally contain success false and an error string, sometimes details or code. The current retryable status set is 408, 429, 500, 502, 503, and 504; 422 is conditional. Authentication, insufficient-credit, restriction, and request-shape failures require correction rather than blind retry.

Authentication

For authenticated Cloud operations, inject FIRECRAWL_API_KEY from an approved secret manager. REST requests use Authorization: Bearer with the key. Never print, commit, transmit, or place a key in a URL. Keyless access is suitable only where the current documentation explicitly allows it and the workload accepts its limits; production workflows should make identity and team ownership explicit.

Instructions

  1. Capture the HTTP status, error string, optional code/details, request or job ID, operation, timestamp, SDK version, and a redacted request shape.
  2. Check metadata.statusCode on returned documents. A captured 403 or 404 page consumes a result path and should not be handled like an API transport error.
  3. For 400 or 422, validate the request against the current endpoint schema and simplify JSON extraction requirements before retrying.
  4. For 401, verify secret injection and key selection without printing the key. For 402, stop work and route the credit or billing decision to the owner.
  5. For 403, inspect plan entitlement, team ownership, endpoint/format key restrictions, IP restrictions, or policy controls; never bypass them with another uncontrolled key.
  6. For 429, distinguish rate from concurrency pressure, honor Retry-After when available, reduce producers, and use queue status evidence.
  7. For retryable timeouts or server failures, use bounded exponential backoff with jitter, then escalate with redacted IDs and timestamps.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, tests, and evidence. Use Write/Edit only for approved implementation or documentation changes. Do not call Firecrawl, rotate keys, change account settings, scrape a target, or deploy merely because this skill was invoked.

Approval Boundaries

Require approval before rotating credentials, enabling pay-as-you-go, upgrading a plan, relaxing a key/IP restriction, increasing concurrency, or sharing target details with support.

Output

Return the exact classification, retryability decision, safe remediation, attempts used, affected scope, redacted evidence, escalation owner, and prevention test.

Error Handling

  • Unknown error: preserve its exact status and error string and compare with current docs or support.
  • Error body cannot be parsed: fall back to status, headers, request ID, and bounded transport diagnostics.
  • Retry budget is exhausted: stop and escalate; do not create an unbounded retry loop.

Examples

  • "Firecrawl returns 429" distinguishes team rate limits from browser concurrency and queue saturation.
  • "A scrape succeeded with statusCode 403" treats it as captured origin content, not a successful source page.

Resources

Read official Firecrawl evidence before relying on an endpoint, SDK method, plan limit, price, retention option, or self-hosted release.
