firecrawl-build-search

firecrawl-build-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RudraDudhat2509/claude-skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (731 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for adding Firecrawl’s `/search` feature to applications and coding-agent workflows. It explains how to search the web, select useful pages, and optionally retrieve their content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for web research, source discovery, company or topic shortlists, and workflows that pass selected search results to later scraping or browser interaction.
Why use it?
It helps when a workflow begins with a question or topic rather than a known web address. It separates finding suitable sources from extracting information from them.

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-build-search 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use this when the application starts with a query, not a URL.

Use This When

  • the user asks a question and the product must discover sources first
  • the feature needs current web results
  • you want to turn a search query into a shortlist of pages for later scraping

Default Recommendations

  • Use /search first when URL discovery is part of the product behavior.
  • Keep search and extraction conceptually separate unless scraping search results is clearly required.
  • Prefer selective follow-up extraction over broad hydration when cost or latency matters.

Common Product Patterns

  • answer generation with cited sources
  • company, competitor, or topic discovery
  • research workflows that produce a shortlist before deeper extraction
  • query-to-URL pipelines for later /scrape or /interact

Escalation Rules

Implementation Notes

  • Treat /search as discovery, ranking, and source selection.
  • Be explicit about whether the product needs snippets, URLs, or full result content.
  • Keep the query contract stable so downstream scraping logic stays predictable.

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.
