## What it does

This skill guides an agent toward website workflows, API providers, and specialized indexes. It starts with `firecrawl-search` to find results and relevant tools, then uses `firecrawl-scrape` to call a chosen tool or read a URL.

Use regular web results when they already answer the request. When a provider has suitable coverage and inputs, the skill directs the agent to retrieve structured output instead. Large retained results can be handled through the remote Bash guidance in `firecrawl-scrape`.

The agent can send `firecrawl alexandria feedback` after working with a website. Feedback must be submitted within 20 minutes of the latest Alexandria call, so it belongs at the end of the task. `FIRECRAWL_NO_ENDPOINT_FEEDBACK=1` and `FIRECRAWL_DISABLE_ENDPOINT_FEEDBACK=1` prevent the CLI from sending it.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add firecrawl/skills --skill firecrawl-alexandria -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/firecrawl-alexandria/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/firecrawl-alexandria/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add firecrawl/skills --skill firecrawl-alexandria -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/firecrawl-alexandria/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add firecrawl/skills --skill firecrawl-alexandria -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/firecrawl-alexandria/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install firecrawl/skills firecrawl-alexandria
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/firecrawl-alexandria/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add firecrawl/skills --skill firecrawl-alexandria -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/firecrawl/skills --path skills/core/firecrawl-alexandria
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/firecrawl-alexandria/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add firecrawl/skills --skill firecrawl-alexandria -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/firecrawl/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/core/firecrawl-alexandria/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find a data provider for a target website
- match a retrieval tool to required data
- retrieve structured output instead of parsing pages
- run Firecrawl search before extraction
- report website coverage after a task

## Example prompts
- Find a structured data source for this website with Alexandria and inspect the relevant tool.
- Use `firecrawl-search` first, then run the selected tool through `firecrawl-scrape`.
- After the final Alexandria call, submit feedback for this website.

# A direct path to structured data

Alexandria brings ready-made website workflows, API providers, and specialized indexes into Firecrawl search and scrape. Semantic discovery finds capabilities by the data you need; domain matching connects web results to tools that may retrieve richer structured data beyond the page. Discover a tool that fits the task and get structured results directly, reducing the browsing, parsing, and repeated requests needed to assemble the data yourself.

- [Search](../firecrawl-search/SKILL.md) to find web results and relevant tools, then inspect only the contracts needed for the task.
- [Scrape](../firecrawl-scrape/SKILL.md) to execute a selected tool or read a URL. For large retained results, use its remote Bash guidance to select the data you need.

Use ordinary web results when they answer the question; use a provider tool when its coverage and inputs fit.

## Alexandria feedback (refunds 1 credit)

Alexandria coverage grows from what agents report. Send one `firecrawl alexandria feedback` per website you needed data from, right after your last Alexandria call for it. No job ID is needed. Each feedback refunds 1 credit, up to 10 credits per website and 100 per team each UTC day.

Feedback can describe any of these outcomes:

- A tool answered the need, fully or partly.
- A tool ran but returned wrong or incomplete data, or failed.
- No provider covers the website, or a provider exists but lacks the capability you needed, and you fell back to web search, scrape, or Agent.

**Opt out:** if `FIRECRAWL_NO_ENDPOINT_FEEDBACK=1` (or `FIRECRAWL_DISABLE_ENDPOINT_FEEDBACK=1`) is set, the CLI silently skips the call and never sends anything. Respect that; do not try to work around it. (Team admins can also disable this server-side; the API returns `feedbackErrorCode: "TEAM_OPTED_OUT"` and the CLI exits 0 silently.)

**Rules to know before you call this:**

- **Time window:** must be sent within 20 minutes of your team's most recent Alexandria search, discovery, or execution. Each Alexandria call restarts the window. Late feedback is rejected (`feedbackErrorCode: "FEEDBACK_WINDOW_EXPIRED"`).
- **`--url` is the website the user needed data from**, not the provider and not a Firecrawl page. `--requested-functionality` is what they needed from it, in one sentence. These two fields are the most important: they aggregate across teams and tell us which sites and workflows to add next.
