Getting it into your agent

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 scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d ago.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Firecrawl

Firecrawl turns the live web into agent-ready markdown over a plain REST API (https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2, Authorization: Bearer $FIRECRAWL_API_KEY). Two calls cover most web work: /search to discover pages by query, /scrape to extract clean content from a URL you already have. Use it whenever a task needs current web information or the content of a specific page.

Before you start

If the user's message only invokes this skill (e.g. "use firecrawl skill") without a concrete task, ask what they want to search or scrape. When the task is concrete, check the credential first:

[ -n "$FIRECRAWL_API_KEY" ] && echo ok || echo missing

If missing (also visible in your Vault Keys section), ask the user to add FIRECRAWL_API_KEY to this agent's key vault — gear icon on the agent card → settings → key vault tab; keys come from the Firecrawl dashboard (https://www.firecrawl.dev/signin). Vault values reach your shell environment on the next task. Only fall back to the keyless tier (below) when the user cannot provide a key right now.

curl -sS -X POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FIRECRAWL_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "<what you are looking for>", "limit": 5}' \
  | jq '[.data.web[] | {url, title, description}]'
  • Results live in .data.web[], each with url / title / description; limit defaults to 10 (per source).
  • Adding "scrapeOptions": {"formats": ["markdown"]} returns each result's page content inline — prefer the two-step search → scrape flow instead when only a hit or two matters; content-included search costs far more credits and context.
  • Useful filters: "sources": [{"type": "news"}] (or images), "includeDomains": ["docs.example.com"], "categories": ["github"] (or research / pdf), "tbs" for time-bounded queries.

Scrape

curl -sS -X POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FIRECRAWL_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "<page url>"}' \
  | jq -r '.data.markdown' > <topic>.md

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.

firecrawl is a skill published in the GitHub repository Prism-Shadow/penguin-harness (2,013 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 934 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
