# Firecrawl agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Firecrawl playbooks for AI agents: review academic papers with Firecrawl, answer questions from live web pages with cited sources. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Firecrawl well and safely with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/firecrawl/skills/essentials.md): Shows which Firecrawl tool fits each task, keeps result volume small, and reports errors and blocked pages honestly, asking before any change.
- [Review academic papers with Firecrawl](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/firecrawl/skills/academic-paper-review.md): Searches for papers on a topic, reads a chosen paper's methods and results, traces related work, and writes a short summary of its claims, evidence strength and open gaps. It reads and writes in the conversation only and never saves or shares anything without your yes.
- [Answer questions from live web pages with cited sources](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/firecrawl/skills/web-research-with-sources.md): Searches the web, reads the most relevant pages, and answers with a citation for every claim, flagging conflicts and stale sources. It reads sources before citing them and does not change anything.

## Install

### What is a Firecrawl agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Firecrawl skill describes one job, which Firecrawl tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Firecrawl skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Firecrawl.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Firecrawl; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Firecrawl MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Firecrawl MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Firecrawl MCP setup guide covers every client.
