  • 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 Interact 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-interact
  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-interact .claude/skills/firecrawl-interact
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Firecrawl Interact 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 Interact 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 Interact 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 interact

Interact with scraped pages in a live browser session. Scrape a page first, then use natural language prompts or code to click, fill forms, navigate, and extract data. For web searches, use search — interact is for acting on a specific page.

Quick start

bash
# 1. Scrape a page (scrape ID is saved automatically)
firecrawl scrape "<url>"

# 2. Interact with the page using a positional prompt
firecrawl interact "Click the login button"
firecrawl interact "Fill in the email field with test@example.com"
firecrawl interact "Extract the pricing table"

# A UUID first argument is auto-detected as the scrape ID
firecrawl interact "<scrape-id>" "Extract the pricing table"

# 3. Or use code for precise control
firecrawl interact --code "agent-browser click @e5" --bash
firecrawl interact --code "agent-browser snapshot -i" --bash

# 4. Stop the session when done
firecrawl interact stop

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

Done when: the requested content or action result is captured and the session is stopped with firecrawl interact stop.

Profiles

Use --profile on the scrape to persist browser state (cookies, localStorage) across scrapes:

bash
# Session 1: Login and save state
firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com/login" --profile my-app
firecrawl interact --prompt "Fill in email with user@example.com and click login"

# Session 2: Come back authenticated
firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com/dashboard" --profile my-app
firecrawl interact --prompt "Extract the dashboard data"

Read-only reconnect (no writes to profile state):

bash
firecrawl scrape "https://app.example.com" --profile my-app --no-save-changes

Tips

  • Always scrape first — interact requires a scrape ID from a previous firecrawl scrape call
  • The scrape ID is saved automatically, so you can omit --scrape-id for subsequent interact calls. Saved sessions may expire after about 10 minutes; re-scrape if the CLI warns that the session is stale
  • Use firecrawl interact stop to free resources when done
  • For parallel work, scrape multiple pages and interact with each using --scrape-id

Frequently asked questions

What does the Firecrawl Interact AI skill do?

Drive a live browser on a scraped page: click, fill forms, log in, paginate, infinite-scroll. Use when content requires interaction or a scrape failed or returned incomplete content.

Why use Firecrawl Interact on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Firecrawl Interact 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 Interact in TypingMind?

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

Which AI models can use Firecrawl Interact?

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 Interact?

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

Is the Firecrawl Interact 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.
