  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by firecrawl on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Firecrawl Crawl AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/firecrawl/cli/tree/main/skills/firecrawl-crawl
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/firecrawl/cli.git /tmp/cli
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/cli/skills/firecrawl-crawl .claude/skills/firecrawl-crawl
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Firecrawl Crawl in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Firecrawl Crawl on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Firecrawl Crawl is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

firecrawl crawl

Bulk extract content from a website. Crawls pages following links up to a depth/limit.

Prerequisite: crawl requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.

Quick start

bash
# Crawl a docs section
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --include-paths /docs --limit 50 --wait -o .firecrawl/crawl.json

# Full crawl with depth limit
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --max-depth 3 --wait --progress -o .firecrawl/crawl.json

# Check status of a running crawl
firecrawl crawl <job-id>

Run firecrawl crawl --help for the full option list.

Done when: the crawl reaches a terminal status and the saved output under .firecrawl/ contains the expected pages.

Tips

  • Use --wait when you need the results immediately. It has no default timeout; use --timeout <seconds> to bound polling. Without --wait, crawl returns a job ID for async polling.
  • Scope crawls with --include-paths whenever the request names a section — crawl only the pages you need.
  • Crawl consumes credits per page. Check firecrawl credit-usage before large crawls (credit-usage requires authentication).

Frequently asked questions

What does the Firecrawl Crawl AI skill do?

Bulk-extract many pages from one site or section. Use for "crawl", "everything under /docs", or content spanning linked pages.

Why use Firecrawl Crawl on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Firecrawl Crawl is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Firecrawl Crawl in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/firecrawl/cli/tree/main/skills/firecrawl-crawl. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Firecrawl Crawl?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Firecrawl Crawl?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Firecrawl Crawl with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Firecrawl Crawl AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by firecrawl. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
