This skill allows applications to discover sources when starting with queries instead of URLs. It is designed for features needing current web results and helps turn search queries into a shortlist of pages for later scraping.
$ npx skills add https://github.com/firecrawl/skills --skill firecrawl-build-searchFirecrawl Build Search is a skill that enables AI agents and applications to integrate Firecrawl's /search endpoint for discovery-first web workflows. Instead of starting with known URLs, this skill helps agents search the web and obtain a curated list of relevant pages ready for later scraping or processing. It's designed for applications that need current web results and sources without pre-existing URLs. The skill follows Agent Skills format and works with Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI coding agents, providing a streamlined path to add web discovery capabilities to production codebases.
