Claude Code Just Got 16 New Powers You Should Be Using
Blog post from Firecrawl
Firecrawl skills significantly expand an agent's capabilities beyond the typical behavioral adjustments offered by Claude Code skills, enabling agents to perform complex tasks such as searching, scraping, and interacting with websites, as well as executing comprehensive workflows like market research and SEO audits. The Firecrawl system is organized into three skill layers: Core skills, which provide direct interaction with Firecrawl's CLI; Workflow skills, which chain core skills to handle end-to-end tasks; and Build skills, which integrate Firecrawl into applications using SDKs and APIs. Installation is straightforward, requiring a single command to deploy all skill segments across detected agents, though it is advised to disable any existing Firecrawl MCP servers or plugins to avoid conflicts. Core skills allow agents to autonomously execute tasks like scraping web pages or conducting searches, while workflow skills, requiring explicit prompts, perform specialized operations such as competitive intelligence analysis or site design cloning. This distinct skill set shifts focus from modifying agent behavior to empowering agents with new functional capabilities, contrasting with the typical approach of Claude Code skills.
