What it does

Firecrawl Hello World is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create the smallest current Firecrawl v2 scrape and verify its provenance, origin status, and output without leaking credentials. Use when testing a new installation. Trigger with "Firecrawl hello world", "first Firecrawl scrape", or "verify Firecrawl setup".

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

  • Testing a new installation
  • With Firecrawl hello world
  • First Firecrawl scrape
  • Verify Firecrawl setup

Example prompts

  • “Firecrawl hello world”
  • “first Firecrawl scrape”
  • “verify Firecrawl setup”
  • “/firecrawl-hello-world”

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. Choose an approved public or synthetic URL with stable, non-sensitive content and record the expected title or marker.
  2. Install the official SDK with the repository's locked package manager, or use REST. Record the resolved package version without changing…
  3. Inject FIRECRAWL_API_KEY from the secret manager for authenticated use. Keyless evaluation is allowed only for the operations and limits…
  4. Request markdown only and avoid actions, custom headers, screenshots, raw HTML, location, proxy overrides, and retention changes in the…
  5. Assert the expected metadata.sourceURL, a successful metadata.statusCode, non-empty markdown, and the expected marker. Do not print the…
  6. Record latency, cacheState and creditsUsed when returned, SDK/API surface, and redacted result size.
  7. Remove temporary output, keep the minimal test as a synthetic smoke if useful, and document the next approved workflow.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • api.firecrawl.dev

    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 Hello World loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 500 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
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
~1.5k

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 v2 First Verified Scrape

Overview

Prove one controlled page can be retrieved through the current v2 surface. A successful transport is not enough: verify the document came from the expected URL and did not capture an origin error page.

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

For Node, install firecrawl, import the named Firecrawl client, and call scrape. For Python, install firecrawl-py, import Firecrawl, and call scrape. REST uses POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape with Bearer authentication. The SDK returns the document data directly; REST wraps it in success and data.

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. Choose an approved public or synthetic URL with stable, non-sensitive content and record the expected title or marker.
  2. Install the official SDK with the repository's locked package manager, or use REST. Record the resolved package version without changing unrelated dependencies.
  3. Inject FIRECRAWL_API_KEY from the secret manager for authenticated use. Keyless evaluation is allowed only for the operations and limits currently documented.
  4. Request markdown only and avoid actions, custom headers, screenshots, raw HTML, location, proxy overrides, and retention changes in the first test.
  5. Assert the expected metadata.sourceURL, a successful metadata.statusCode, non-empty markdown, and the expected marker. Do not print the full body.
  6. Record latency, cacheState and creditsUsed when returned, SDK/API surface, and redacted result size.
  7. Remove temporary output, keep the minimal test as a synthetic smoke if useful, and document the next approved workflow.

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 using a private URL, supplying site credentials or headers, retaining the response, or turning the example into a recurring job.

Output

Return the exact install/runtime surface, approved URL classification, assertion results, content-free metrics, auth mode, and a concise pass/fail receipt.

Error Handling

  • 401: verify secret injection without printing the key.
  • A returned document has origin status 403 or 404: fail the content assertion and review authorization or target behavior.
  • Output marker is absent: do not widen options blindly; inspect current scrape guidance and target behavior.

Examples

  • "Verify Node setup" checks the firecrawl package and one markdown scrape with content-free assertions.
  • "Use my customer portal for the demo" is blocked until target authorization and data handling are approved.

Resources

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