Automated summary

Fetches web content as markdown, takes screenshots, extracts structured data using JSON schemas, searches the web, and crawls documentation sites via the Firecrawl API.

Strengths

Clean markdown extraction, structured data extraction with schema and prompts, full-page screenshots, web search, and documentation crawling with configurable limits.

Limitations

Requires a Firecrawl API key, each crawled page costs a credit (quota limited), schema extraction may be inaccurate on complex pages.

When to use it

Use when you need up-to-date web information, scrape a URL, take a screenshot, or learn a new framework by crawling its docs.

When not to use it

Avoid for heavy data mining that exceeds your credit limit; prefer direct API access for high-volume scraping.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score85/100

The skill uses a bundled Python script to make API calls to Firecrawl; it does not instruct destructive actions, data exfiltration, or obfuscation. The Bash usage is limited to running the script with provided URLs, typical for such tools.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Fetch webpage as markdown

Fetch the content of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence in markdown format.

Search the web

Search for 'Firecrawl API pricing'.

Crawl documentation site

Crawl https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/ with a limit of 20 pages to learn about LlamaIndex.

Firecrawl Web Skill

Name: Firecrawl Web Access
Author: Skills Guide Bot

This skill provides web access through Firecrawl's API.

Script Location

All commands use the bundled script: ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py

Getting Page Content

Fetch any webpage as clean markdown:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py markdown "https://example.com"

For cleaner output without navigation and footers:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py markdown "https://example.com" --main-only

Taking Screenshots

Capture a full-page screenshot:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py screenshot "https://example.com" -o page.png

Extracting Structured Data

Extract specific data using a JSON schema. Create a schema file first:

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "title": {"type": "string"},
    "price": {"type": "number"},
    "features": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}
  }
}

Then extract:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py extract "https://example.com/product" --schema schema.json

Add a prompt for better accuracy:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py extract "https://example.com/product" --schema schema.json --prompt "Extract the main product details"

Searching the Web

Search for current information:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py search "Python 3.13 new features"

Limit results:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py search "latest React documentation" --limit 3

Crawling Documentation

Crawl a documentation site to learn about a new framework:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py crawl "https://docs.newframework.dev" --limit 30

Save pages to a directory:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-web/fc.py crawl "https://docs.example.com" --limit 50 --output ./docs

Each page costs one credit. Set a reasonable limit to avoid burning through your quota.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9/download' --output '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code

test -f '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/firecrawl-web' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9' '.claude/skills/firecrawl-web'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation

openskills install './.skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9'

openskills read 'firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/firecrawl-web-access-ms47vok9/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
