Using the Claude app rather than Claude Code? You can add a skill there too. How to add it in the app

What does firecrawl-scrape do?

firecrawl-scrape is a Claude skill that reads known web pages with the Firecrawl CLI. firecrawl scrape saves a page as markdown in a .firecrawl/ folder and can keep only the main content, wait for JavaScript to render, or return JSON fields that match a schema you pass. batch-scrape handles long URL lists as a job you check later. The skill also runs Firecrawl provider tools for structured data, after finding them with firecrawl search and reading their input contract with firecrawl list. It flags credit costs: PDFs cost one credit per parsed page, so it suggests --max-pages, and --query adds five credits.

When should you use firecrawl-scrape?

Use it when

  • You need a pricing page turned into JSON fields
  • You want a JavaScript-heavy page saved as markdown
  • You have a list of URLs to extract the same way

Skip it when

  • You do not have the URL yet
  • The page needs clicks or form fills first
