## What it does

This skill turns a company directory into a structured list. It captures visible names, descriptions, categories, stages, founding dates, locations, team sizes, funding, tags, and links, while leaving missing fields blank.

It uses the Firecrawl browser for filters, paginated results, infinite scroll, or profile pages. Public static listings use scrape/map instead. The workflow deduplicates companies, tracks pagination, and records rate limits, login walls, or CAPTCHA blocks.

The output is a report with filters, extracted count, limitations, and sources, plus JSON, CSV, or Markdown data. Hosted Firecrawl requests require `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, so having the key ready is a prerequisite.

# Firecrawl Company Directories

Use this to turn startup or company directories into structured lists.

## Onboarding Interview

Infer the directory, filters, result count, and output format from context. If the source is clear, proceed immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the directory URL/name, required filters, or target result count.

## Firecrawl Collection Plan

Use Firecrawl browser when the directory needs filters, pagination, infinite scroll, or profile clicks. Use scrape/map when listings are public and static.

Suggested sources include YC companies, Crunchbase, Product Hunt, G2 categories, or any custom directory URL.

## Extraction Fields

Capture fields that are visible:

- name
- description
- industry/category
- stage/founded/location/team size/funding when visible
- tags
- directory profile URL
- company website URL

Leave unavailable fields blank. Do not infer.

## Final Deliverable

```markdown
# Company Directory Export: [Source]

## Summary
[Filters, count extracted, limitations]

## Companies
[Table or link to JSON/CSV]

## Sources
[Directory pages and profiles used]

## Rerun Inputs
workflow: firecrawl-company-directories
directory: [source]
filters: [criteria]
max_results: [number]
output: [json/csv/markdown]
```

## JSON Shape

Use `source`, `filters`, `extractedAt`, `totalResults`, and `companies[]` with `name`, `url`, `description`, `industry`, `stage`, `founded`, `location`, `teamSize`, `funding`, `tags`, `profileUrl`, and `websiteUrl`.

## Quality Bar

- Deduplicate companies.
- Track pagination progress.
- Note rate limits, login walls, or CAPTCHA blocks.
