README

Excerpt

Firecrawl

Firecrawl turns the live web into agent-ready markdown over a plain REST API (https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2, Authorization: Bearer $FIRECRAWL_API_KEY). Two calls cover most web work: /search to discover pages by query, /scrape to extract clean content from a URL you already have. Use it whenever a task needs current web information or the content of a specific page.

Before you start

If the user's message only invokes this skill (e.g. "use firecrawl skill") without a concrete task, ask what they want to search or scrape. When the task is concrete, check the credential first:

[ -n "$FIRECRAWL_API_KEY" ] && echo ok || echo missing

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
