From the SKILL.md
# Firecrawl CLI Search, scrape, and interact with the web. Returns clean markdown optimized for LLM context windows. Run `firecrawl --help` or `firecrawl <command> --help` for full option details. For app integration or outcome workflows (research briefs, SEO audits, etc.), route to the `firecrawl-build` / `firecrawl-workflows` skills — see [When to Load References](#when-to-load-references). ## Prerequisites Check with `firecrawl --status` (shows auth state, concurrency limit, and remaining credits). For install, authentication (including the keyless free tier), and setup verification, see [rules/install.md](rules/install.md). For output handling guidelines, see [rules/security.md](rules/security.md). ## Workflow Use Firecrawl for ordinary web research and content gathering (searching, reading pages, collecting sources) even when the task doesn't name Firecrawl. Exception: tasks needing capabilities Firecrawl lacks. For structured datasets, first check for a suitable workflow or data provider using the [search skill](../firecrawl-search/SKILL.md). Read a known page directly; reuse a selected contract instead of repeating discovery. Follow this escalation pattern: 1. **Search** - Start with the actual question. Find web sources and relevant structured-data tools through semantic and domain matching.
