Build a knowledge base from web content with Firecrawl. Use for local reference docs, RAG-ready chunks, fine-tuning datasets, documentation mirrors, topic corpora, or LLM-ready markdown organized from web sources.
All-time #722Trending #8195First seen May 15, 2026
The firecrawl-knowledge-base skill is a legitimate tool for web scraping and documentation generation using the Firecrawl API. It follows best practices for secret management by requesting the API key as a mandatory input and performs operations consistent with its stated purpose.
Declared targets from SKILL.md / docs. Unmarked agents are not listed — the skill may still install via the CLI.

Firecrawl Knowledge Base
Use this to turn URLs or topics into organized LLM-ready content.
Onboarding Interview
Infer the source, goal, depth, and output location from context. If the source and goal are clear, proceed immediately.
Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the source URL/topic, whether the output is reference/RAG/training/docs, or training format if training is requested.
Firecrawl Collection Plan
Use Firecrawl map for documentation sites, search for topic-based corpora, scrape pages into markdown, and preserve code examples and tables.
For files, follow the Firecrawl download-style convention:
.firecrawl/
<hostname>/
<path>/
index.md
Parallel Work
If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners:
one docs section per researcher
official docs, tutorials, community discussions, and references by source type
source scraping vs chunk generation vs manifest generation
Output Modes
Reference: markdown files, index.md, and sources.json.
RAG: markdown files plus chunk files and manifest.json.
Training: scraped source files plus training-data.jsonl and training-metadata.json.
Docs mirror: complete markdown mirror with a table of contents.
