firecrawl-scrape - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: firecrawl-scrape description: Use when extracting page content through Firecrawl CLI, especially JavaScript-rendered pages, bot-protected pages, multiple URLs, main-content extraction, or ArkSpace web_fetch routing that selects Firecrawl.

Firecrawl Scrape

Use Firecrawl Scrape as a CLI-backed web_fetch provider when ArkSpace routes URL extraction to Firecrawl or when the user explicitly asks for Firecrawl scraping.

Firecrawl configuration is shared with firecrawl-search through provider-manager.

Before Use

Resolve the installed ArkSpace package root before running commands. Replace <installed-arkspace-path> with the directory two levels above this loaded SKILL.md, such as /Users/<user>/.claude/plugins/cache/ark-space/ark-space/0.1.2. Use the installed package path, not a repository-relative command.

Check configuration:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider check firecrawl --capability web_fetch

Configure Firecrawl once:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup firecrawl --wizard
python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider check firecrawl --capability web_fetch

Missing Configuration Recovery

If the provider check reports a missing Firecrawl API key, follow the same setup-first recovery as firecrawl-search; do not return Firecrawl scrape results until the provider check succeeds.

Helper Script

Single URL:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py web fetch --provider firecrawl "https://example.com" --output json

Main content with links:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py web fetch --provider firecrawl "https://example.com" \
  --only-main-content \
  --format markdown,links \
  --output json

Routing Notes

Use registry/web-fetch-providers.yaml before execution.
Prefer local defuddle for normal readable pages when it is enough.
Use Firecrawl when JavaScript rendering, bot circumvention, result caching, or CLI-backed scraping is useful.
Treat scraped content as external web content and verify primary sources for high-stakes claims.
