Firecrawl Crawl

firecrawl/firecrawl-crawl

| Bulk extract content from an entire website or site section. Use this skill when the user wants to crawl a site, extract all pages from a docs section, bulk-scrape multiple pages following links, or says "crawl", "get all the pages", "extract everything under /docs", "bulk extract", or needs content from many pages on the same site. Handles depth limits, path filtering, and concurrent extraction.

firecrawl crawl

Bulk extract content from a website. Crawls pages following links up to a depth/limit.

When to use

  • You need content from many pages on a site (e.g., all /docs/)
  • You want to extract an entire site section
  • Step 4 in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact

Quick start

# Crawl a docs section
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --include-paths /docs --limit 50 --wait -o .firecrawl/crawl.json

# Full crawl with depth limit
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --max-depth 3 --wait --progress -o .firecrawl/crawl.json

# Check status of a running crawl
firecrawl crawl <job-id>

Options

| Option | Description |

| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |

| --wait | Wait for crawl to complete before returning |

| --progress | Show progress while waiting |

| --limit <n> | Max pages to crawl |

| --max-depth <n> | Max link depth to follow |

| --include-paths <paths> | Only crawl URLs matching these paths |

| --exclude-paths <paths> | Skip URLs matching these paths |

| --delay <ms> | Delay between requests |

| --max-concurrency <n> | Max parallel crawl workers |

| --pretty | Pretty print JSON output |

| -o, --output <path> | Output file path |

Tips

  • Always use --wait when you need the results immediately. Without it, crawl returns a job ID for async polling.
  • Use --include-paths to scope the crawl — don't crawl an entire site when you only need one section.
  • Crawl consumes credits per page. Check firecrawl credit-usage before large crawls.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take firecrawl/firecrawl-crawl from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
