A research tool that searches and extracts information from web pages using FireCrawl, a web-search and page-scraping service. It can turn topics from Markdown notes into research documents and bibliographies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research topics listed in Markdown headings or tags, enrich notes with web sources, and prepare source material or BibTeX references for academic writing.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of searching for sources, opening pages, copying useful material, and recording citations.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 88
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

firecrawl-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/convert_academic.py, scripts/firecrawl_research.py, scripts/generate_bibliography.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

FireCrawl Research

Overview

Enrich research documents by automatically searching and scraping web sources using the FireCrawl API. Extract research topics from markdown files and generate comprehensive research documents with source material.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

  • Says "Research this topic using FireCrawl"
  • Requests to enrich notes or documents with web sources
  • Wants to gather information about topics listed in a markdown file
  • Needs to search and scrape multiple topics systematically

How It Works

1. Topic Extraction

The script automatically extracts research topics from markdown files using two methods:

Method 1: Headers

## Spatial Reasoning in AI
### Computer Vision Applications

Both Spatial Reasoning in AI and Computer Vision Applications become research topics.

Method 2: Research Tags

- [research] Large Language Models for robotics
- [search] Theory of Mind in autonomous driving

Both tagged items become research topics.

2. Search and Scrape

For each topic:

  1. Searches FireCrawl with the topic as query
  2. Retrieves up to N results (default: 5)
  3. Automatically scrapes full content from each result
  4. Extracts markdown-formatted content (main content only)

3. Output Generation

Creates new markdown files in the specified output directory:

  • One file per topic
  • Filename: {topic}_{timestamp}.md
  • Contains: title, date, sources count, full scraped content
  • Each source includes: title, URL, markdown content

Usage

Basic Usage

python scripts/firecrawl_research.py research.md

Outputs to current directory.

Specify Output Directory

python scripts/firecrawl_research.py research.md ./output

Creates files in ./output/ folder.

Limit Results Per Topic

python scripts/firecrawl_research.py research.md ./output 3

Retrieves maximum 3 results per topic.

Configuration

API Key Setup

  1. Copy .env.example to .env:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
