firecrawl-workflows

Find and synthesize research papers, whitepapers, PDFs, technical reports, and academic sources with Firecrawl Research, using semantic paper search, related-paper expansion, and in-body verification. Use when the user wants a literature review, paper summary, research landscape, or sourced synthesis from PDFs and scholarly/industry publications.

Produce an intensive, cited analytical report: executive summary, multi-angle findings, contrarian views, open questions, and full sources. Use only when the user needs rigorous synthesis of a complex topic (scientific, technical, policy, or market-analytical) that cannot be answered with a short search, and wants a formal written report, not a recommendation list. Do not use for product picks, top-N lists, quick lookups, or routine "find out about X" tasks. If the request does not clearly need this kind of report, do not use this skill.

Extract any website's design system into an agent-ready DESIGN.md using Firecrawl scrape evidence. Use when the user wants colors, fonts, spacing, components, layout patterns, or brand/UI guidance from a website so AI agents can create new websites, clone a look, or build pages inspired by that design.

Extract structured company lists from directories with Firecrawl. Use for scraping YC, Crunchbase, Product Hunt, G2, startup directories, category directories, or custom company databases into JSON, CSV, CRM-ready lists, or research tables.

Monitor competitor pricing, features, changelogs, dashboards, and product changes with Firecrawl. Use for recurring competitive intelligence, pricing tier extraction, feature change tracking, or structured competitor alerts.

Pull metrics from analytics dashboards and internal web tools with Firecrawl browser. Use when the user needs dashboard reporting, cross-platform metric summaries, authenticated analytics extraction, date-range reports, or structured metrics from web dashboards.

Walk through a product's key flows with Firecrawl browser and produce a structured UX/product walkthrough. Use for signup, onboarding, pricing, docs, dashboard, product demo prep, UX teardown, and first-run experience analysis.

Build a knowledge base from web content with Firecrawl. Use for local reference docs, RAG-ready chunks, fine-tuning datasets, documentation mirrors, topic corpora, or LLM-ready markdown organized from web sources.

Ingest public or authenticated knowledge bases and docs portals with Firecrawl browser. Use for JS-heavy docs, login-gated portals, paginated help centers, support knowledge bases, or structured JSON/markdown extraction from documentation sites.

Generate structured lead lists from prospect databases and web directories with Firecrawl browser. Use for finding prospects by role, company type, industry, stage, location, technologies, or other criteria and exporting CRM-ready JSON or CSV.

Produce pre-meeting lead intelligence briefs with Firecrawl. Use when the user needs company research, person research, recent news, talking points, pain points, or outreach preparation before a sales call, partnership meeting, investor conversation, or customer interview.

Extract market, financial, earnings, industry, and company metrics with Firecrawl. Use when the user asks for market research, industry trends, public company data, financial comparisons, earnings research, or structured market reports.

QA test a live website with Firecrawl browser and scrape evidence. Use when the user wants exploratory QA, form testing, navigation/link checks, responsive checks, performance observations, bug reports, or a pre-launch quality review.

Audit a website's SEO with Firecrawl. Use when the user asks for an SEO audit, metadata and heading review, sitemap/site-structure analysis, keyword opportunities, competitor SERP comparison, or prioritized search optimization recommendations.

Research products across the web with Firecrawl and produce a shopping recommendation or cart-ready summary. Use when the user wants to compare products, find the best option, evaluate reviews, respect budget/preferences, or shop with a saved browser session.

Run outcome-focused Firecrawl workflows that produce deliverables such as research reports, SEO audits, QA reports, lead lists, knowledge bases, website design systems, and other structured web-data artifacts. Use when the user wants Firecrawl to complete a business, marketing, product, or creative workflow rather than merely scrape a page or integrate API calls into code.
