Firecrawl Workflows
Use this when the user wants a finished deliverable powered by Firecrawl, not only raw web extraction and not product-code integration.
Choose The Workflow
- Use firecrawl-website-design-clone to extract a website's colors, fonts, spacing, components, and layout patterns into an agent-ready
DESIGN.md.
- Use firecrawl-deep-research for sourced multi-source research reports.
- Use firecrawl-seo-audit for site structure, on-page SEO, keyword, and SERP audits.
- Use firecrawl-lead-research for pre-meeting company/person intelligence briefs.
- Use firecrawl-qa for live-site QA testing and bug reports.
- Use firecrawl-competitive-intel for recurring pricing, feature, and changelog monitoring.
- Use firecrawl-company-directories for directory extraction into company lists.
- Use firecrawl-dashboard-reporting for dashboard metrics extraction.
- Use firecrawl-knowledge-base for LLM-ready docs, RAG chunks, training data, or docs mirrors.
- Use firecrawl-knowledge-ingest for auth-gated or JS-heavy docs portal ingestion.
- Use firecrawl-lead-gen for prospect list generation.
- Use firecrawl-market-research for market, financial, and industry research.
- Use firecrawl-research-papers for literature reviews from papers, PDFs, and whitepapers.
- Use firecrawl-demo-walkthrough for product flow walkthroughs and UX teardown reports.
- Use firecrawl-shop for product research and shopping recommendations.
If no existing workflow fits, use this generic process and produce a reusable pattern that could become a new skill.
Required Intake
Infer the workflow, inputs, audience, and output format from the user's request and surrounding context. If enough is clear, start immediately.
Ask at most 1-3 concise clarifying questions only when a missing input would block the work, such as:
- the URL, company, topic, or source to analyze
- the desired deliverable or output format
- a constraint that would materially change the workflow
Use the host agent's normal way to ask clarifying questions. Do not depend on a harness-specific function name.
Default Process
- Confirm the workflow and final artifact.
- Collect web evidence with Firecrawl through the CLI or equivalent Firecrawl tool surface.
- Save or cite source evidence so the final claims are traceable.
- Run independent research units in parallel when available.
- Synthesize findings into the requested deliverable.
- Include a short "rerun inputs" block when the workflow could be automated.
Parallel Work
If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners for independent units such as:
- one competitor per researcher
- one URL or page per researcher
- one source category per researcher
- one analysis dimension per reviewer
Keep the handoff generic: provide the unit of work, source URLs or search terms, expected extracted fields, and output format.
Deliverable Standards
Every workflow should return:
- a concise executive summary
- the evidence base used
- the analysis or artifact requested by the user
- recommendations or next actions when useful
- automation inputs for reruns
