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
