firecrawl-research-papers
The firecrawl-research-papers skill enables agents to discover, inspect, and synthesize academic papers, whitepapers, and technical reports using Firecrawl Research tools. It supports semantic search, related-paper expansion, and in-body verification to produce structured literature reviews.
Is firecrawl-research-papers safe to install?
Review the source first: our audit of firecrawl-research-papers's source files found 6 shell commands, 0 external URLs, no file writes (high risk). Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill executes shell commands and makes network requests via the Firecrawl CLI or MCP tools.
How we audit skills: our security review methodology.
Who is this skill for?
Researchers, analysts, and developers who need to generate literature reviews or synthesize information from scholarly and industry publications.
What can you do with it?
- Generating literature reviews on specific technical topics
- Finding related academic papers based on seed research
- Verifying specific claims or methodologies within research papers
- Synthesizing information from whitepapers, technical reports, and research blogs
How good is this skill?
Quality score: 5/10. The skill documentation provides clear instructions, tool definitions, and a structured output format for the final deliverable.
What does the skill file contain?
# 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 Use Firecrawl Research through the CLI, MCP, or equivalent Firecrawl tool surface as the primary path for paper discovery and verification. Fall back to general Firecrawl search and scrape for whitepapers,...
Frequently asked questions
What sources does this skill search?
It searches academic papers from arXiv, university sites, and ACM/IEEE pages, as well as industry reports, whitepapers, company research blogs, and technical articles.
How does the skill verify information?
It uses the read-paper tool to verify specific claims, methods, or constraints within a paper and the inspect-paper tool to fetch canonical metadata.
What is the required input for this skill?
The skill requires a FIRECRAWL_API_KEY to function.
