firecrawl-deep-research
The firecrawl-deep-research skill generates formal, cited analytical reports on complex topics. It requires a Firecrawl API key and uses a depth-based collection plan to search and scrape web sources based on user-defined research duration.
Is firecrawl-deep-research safe to install?
Review the source first: our audit of firecrawl-deep-research's source files found 0 shell commands, 0 external URLs, no file writes (high risk). Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill performs network requests via the Firecrawl API to search and scrape web content.
How we audit skills: our security review methodology.
Who is this skill for?
Users requiring rigorous, synthesized research reports on scientific, technical, policy, or market topics.
What can you do with it?
- Synthesizing complex technical or policy information into a formal report
- Conducting multi-angle research including contrarian views and risks
- Generating reports with cited sources and identified open questions
How good is this skill?
Quality score: 5/10. The skill documentation provides clear instructions for usage, depth tiers, and output structure. It explicitly defines constraints to prevent misuse for simple tasks.
What does the skill file contain?
# Firecrawl Deep Research Use this only for report-scale research: a rigorous, cited synthesis the user explicitly wants delivered as a formal written report. If the request is a product pick, a top-N list, a quick lookup, or anything answerable with a short search, stop; do not use this skill, let the request be handled the standard way. ## Onboarding Interview Infer the topic and output format from context. Before starting, unless already specified, always ask one short question to define the scope: > "How long do you want this research task to run?" Map the answer to a depth tier in th...
