Firecrawl Research Papers
Use this to create a sourced literature review.
Onboarding Interview
Infer the topic, source constraints, target count, and output format from context. If the topic is clear, proceed immediately.
Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the topic, target paper count, or required venue/date/method constraints.
Firecrawl Collection Plan
Search for papers, PDFs, whitepapers, technical reports, and research blogs. Scrape PDF URLs directly when available; Firecrawl can extract PDFs.
Target source types:
- academic papers from arXiv, university sites, ACM/IEEE pages where accessible
- industry reports and whitepapers
- company research blogs
- technical articles and conference summaries
Parallel Work
If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners:
- Academic Papers researcher
- Industry Reports researcher
- Technical Articles researcher
- Synthesis and citation reviewer
