# Firecrawl Workflows

Use this when the user wants a finished deliverable powered by Firecrawl, not only raw web extraction and not product-code integration.

## Choose The Workflow

- Use [firecrawl-lead-gen](../firecrawl-lead-gen/SKILL.md) to discover and qualify new professional or business prospects, or extract lists from a specified database or directory.
- Use [firecrawl-lead-research](../firecrawl-lead-research/SKILL.md) to research supplied people or companies, enrich a lead CSV while preserving rows, or prepare a meeting brief.
- Use [firecrawl-business-contacts](../firecrawl-business-contacts/SKILL.md) to find published organizational contacts for named or described businesses.
- Use [firecrawl-job-postings](../firecrawl-job-postings/SKILL.md) to find and verify current job openings.
- Use [firecrawl-fantasy-sports](../firecrawl-fantasy-sports/SKILL.md) for a fantasy decision grounded in current news and league context.
- Use the core `firecrawl-developer-index` skill (installed with the Firecrawl CLI skills) for official documentation, setup, usage, migrations, compatibility and upstream implementation or bug evidence.
- Use [firecrawl-website-design-clone](../firecrawl-website-design-clone/SKILL.md) for an existing website's brand assets or its UI system. Return a compact asset reference for a document, or an agent-ready `DESIGN.md` for UI implementation.
- Use [firecrawl-research-papers](../firecrawl-research-papers/SKILL.md) for literature reviews and paper-backed synthesis, including biomedical, clinical, drug, gene, disease, epidemiology, and public-health topics. It queries Firecrawl's paper index — PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and arXiv abstracts with full text reachable per paper — rather than searching websites.
- Use [firecrawl-deep-research](../firecrawl-deep-research/SKILL.md) for sourced multi-source research reports built from **web** evidence: market, policy, technical, or industry topics. Not for literature reviews — when the evidence base is published papers, use `firecrawl-research-papers` above.
- Use [firecrawl-seo-audit](../firecrawl-seo-audit/SKILL.md) for site structure, on-page SEO, keyword, and SERP audits.
- Use [firecrawl-qa](../firecrawl-qa/SKILL.md) for live-site QA testing and bug reports.
- Use [firecrawl-competitive-intel](../firecrawl-competitive-intel/SKILL.md) for recurring pricing, feature, and changelog monitoring.
- Use [firecrawl-company-directories](../firecrawl-company-directories/SKILL.md) for directory extraction into company lists.
- Use [firecrawl-dashboard-reporting](../firecrawl-dashboard-reporting/SKILL.md) for dashboard metrics extraction.
- Use [firecrawl-knowledge-base](../firecrawl-knowledge-base/SKILL.md) for LLM-ready docs, RAG chunks, training data, or docs mirrors.
- Use [firecrawl-knowledge-ingest](../firecrawl-knowledge-ingest/SKILL.md) for auth-gated or JS-heavy docs portal ingestion.
- Use [firecrawl-market-research](../firecrawl-market-research/SKILL.md) for market, financial, and industry research.
- Use [firecrawl-demo-walkthrough](../firecrawl-demo-walkthrough/SKILL.md) for product flow walkthroughs and UX teardown reports.
- Use [firecrawl-shop](../firecrawl-shop/SKILL.md) for product research and shopping recommendations.

If no existing workflow fits, use this generic process and produce a reusable pattern that could become a new skill.

For a focused workflow, follow its deliverable and stopping conditions. A contact card, documentation answer or fantasy recommendation does not require a research report. Reuse adequate evidence and preserve explicit source and no-browse instructions.

## Required Intake

Infer the workflow, inputs, audience, and output format from the user's request and surrounding context. If enough is clear, start immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise clarifying questions only when a missing input would block the work, such as:

- the URL, company, topic, or source to analyze
- the desired deliverable or output format
- a constraint that would materially change the workflow

Use the host agent's normal way to ask clarifying questions. Do not depend on a harness-specific function name.

## Default Process

1. Identify the matching workflow and requested artifact.
2. Collect web evidence with Firecrawl through the CLI or equivalent Firecrawl tool surface.
3. Save or cite source evidence so the final claims are traceable.
4. Run independent research units in parallel when available.
5. Synthesize findings into the requested deliverable.
6. Include a short "rerun inputs" block when the workflow could be automated.

## Parallel Work

If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners for independent units such as:

- one competitor per researcher
- one URL or page per researcher
- one source category per researcher
- one analysis dimension per reviewer

Keep the handoff generic: provide the unit of work, source URLs or search terms, expected extracted fields, and output format.

## Deliverable Standards

Every workflow should return:

- a concise executive summary
- the evidence base used
- the analysis or artifact requested by the user
- recommendations or next actions when useful
- automation inputs for reruns
