What it does

Firecrawl Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Install the current Firecrawl Node or Python SDK, configure Cloud authentication, and verify package provenance and secret injection. Use when bootstrapping or repairing client setup. Trigger with "install Firecrawl", "configure FIRECRAWLAPIKEY", or "Firecrawl authentication".

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 and Python. 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

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

    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 Install Auth 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 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 514 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
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 SDK Installation and Authentication

Overview

Make the client dependency, v2 surface, identity owner, and secret path explicit. Do not preserve the legacy method surface merely because an old package still resolves.

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

Current first-party docs install the Node package as firecrawl and construct the named Firecrawl client; the underlying published SDK is maintained in firecrawl/firecrawl. Python installs firecrawl-py and imports Firecrawl. Top-level clients default to v2, while feature-frozen v1 compatibility is separate. REST Cloud requests use Bearer keys.

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. Inspect the repository language, runtime, lockfile, package manager, current Firecrawl dependency/imports, endpoint family, and secret conventions.
  2. Confirm the official package from Firecrawl's docs and source, then add it through the existing package manager with a reviewed version range and lockfile change.
  3. Replace legacy FirecrawlApp/scrapeUrl-style usage only as part of an explicit v2 migration; do not mix old and new methods under one untyped wrapper.
  4. Create one client per process boundary using FIRECRAWL_API_KEY from the approved secret manager. Permit a custom API URL only for an explicitly selected self-hosted environment.
  5. Validate configuration at startup using presence and shape checks without logging the key. Associate the secret with an owning team, workload, environment, and rotation record.
  6. Run offline construction/type tests, then one approved minimal scrape if network validation is authorized. Assert provenance and metadata.statusCode without logging content.
  7. Record the resolved package version, source, lockfile diff, auth mode, test evidence, and rollback.

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 adding the dependency, changing its major version, creating or rotating a key, enabling keyless production traffic, or pointing at a nonstandard API URL.

Output

Return runtime and package-manager findings, package/source/version, import and v2 method surface, secret-manager reference, identity owner, verification results, and rollback steps.

Error Handling

  • Package identity is ambiguous: stop and verify against official docs and repository metadata.
  • Key is missing: fail startup for authenticated operations; never substitute a stand-in value or another environment's key.
  • Legacy calls remain: inventory and migrate them deliberately rather than hiding them behind any casts.

Examples

  • "Install Firecrawl for TypeScript" uses the current Node package and named client from official docs.
  • "Paste the key into config.ts" is rejected in favor of secret-managed FIRECRAWL_API_KEY.

Resources

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