What firecrawl-download does

The skill invokes firecrawl x download to map a target domain and save discovered pages into nested folders inside .firecrawl/. Each page can produce an index.md, a link list, and a PNG screenshot.

This experimental CLI command requires an authenticated account, because keyless runs fail back to an interactive login prompt. Automated agent workflows must pass -y to avoid getting blocked by an interactive wizard. Target specific paths with --include-paths or exclude translations with --exclude-paths.

What it helps with

  • save website documentation locally for offline reading
  • capture markdown pages alongside screenshots
  • exclude unwanted language paths during site extraction

Example prompts for the agent

  • Download the developer documentation section into local markdown files with screenshots
  • Save the top 20 pages of the documentation site locally without interactive prompts
