What it does

Firecrawl is an agent skill from zapier/connectors, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Agent-callable Firecrawl tools — scrape a URL to clean Markdown, crawl a site, search the web, map site URLs, and extract structured data. Use when the user wants to read, scrape, crawl, or search web pages, even if they don't name Firecrawl.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 84 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `.mcp.json` and `CHANGELOG.md`). Compatibility notes: Run npm install --omit=dev in this directory, then node cli.js. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run cli.js for build-it-yourself /…

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. It works with Firecrawl and Zapier. The repository describes itself as: Connect your agent to the apps you already use - with or without Zapier.

When your agent uses it

The user wants to read
Search web pages
Even if they dont name Firecrawl

Example prompts

“/firecrawl”

Requirements

Node.js
Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e48d26f. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (TypeScript and JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npm
- npx
- git
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):
- docs.firecrawl.dev
- agentskills.io
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.
Compatibility
Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Firecrawl loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,426 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~4.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~13k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Elastic-2.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,426 words (~4,229 tokens).

“Agent-callable tools for Firecrawl, the web-data API: turn any URL into clean, LLM-ready Markdown (scrape), read many URLs at once (batchScrape), crawl a whole site (crawl), discover a site's URLs (map), and search the web (search) — with optional page…”
