Find scientific papers, follow citations, and verify claims against paper passages. Use for literature questions, related work, citing papers, references, or questions about a named paper.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use Firecrawl's paper-index MCP tools for scientific literature, including biomedical and arXiv papers.

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    Add author, category, or date filters when the request requires them.

    line 14

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Paper research

Use Firecrawl's paper-index MCP tools for scientific literature, including biomedical and arXiv papers. If a tool is deferred, discover it with the host's tool search. Ordinary firecrawl_search with the research category filters web sources; it does not query the same paper index.

  • firecrawl_research_search_papers finds papers from a natural-language query. Add author, category, or date filters when the request requires them.
  • firecrawl_research_inspect_paper retrieves canonical metadata for a known paperId. Reuse identifiers returned by search or supplied by the user.
  • firecrawl_research_related_papers expands from seed_ids using the requested relationship: similar work, citing papers, or references. Its intent states what the related work should address.
  • firecrawl_research_read_paper retrieves full-text passages relevant to a question about one paperId.

Choose the operations needed for the question; a known paper does not require another discovery search. Verify substantive claims with relevant passages when available. If full text is unavailable, label conclusions based on the abstract or metadata and use firecrawl_scrape on an accessible source URL when helpful.

Cite paper URLs or persistent identifiers. Distinguish a paper's claims from your synthesis and do not describe a partial search as an exhaustive review. Respect the user's source and tool choices. Report connection or authentication errors.

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

    Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
    • firecrawlSkill

      firecrawl-monitor

      Alert by webhook/email on web changes — use for "monitor/watch/track/alert me when": recurring checks on known URLs (prefer over repeated one-off scrapes) or web-wide watches for new results (queries + goal).

    • RudraDudhat2509Skill

      firecrawl-interact

      Control and interact with a live browser session on any scraped page — click buttons, fill forms, navigate flows, and extract data using natural language prompts or code. Use when the user needs to interact with a webpage beyond simple scraping: logging into a site, submitting forms, clicking through pagination, handling infinite scroll, navigating multi-step checkout or wizard flows, or when a regular scrape failed because content is behind JavaScript interaction. Also useful for authenticated scraping via profiles. Triggers on "interact", "click", "fill out the form", "log in to", "sign in", "submit", "paginated", "next page", "infinite scroll", "interact with the page", "navigate to", "open a session", or "scrape failed".

    • BBTB2Skill

      firecrawl-parse

      Use this skill whenever the user is working with the Firecrawl API /parse endpoint. Triggers include: uploading local files (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, HTML) to Firecrawl, parsing documents with Firecrawl, extracting markdown or structured JSON from files using Firecrawl, choosing between /parse and /scrape, configuring PDF parsing modes (fast/auto/ocr), setting output formats, enabling zero data retention, or any question about Firecrawl document parsing. Also triggers when the user says 'parse this file with Firecrawl', 'use Firecrawl to extract', or 'Firecrawl /parse'.

    • get-proofpilotSkill

      firecrawl-crawl

      Bulk extract content from an entire website or site section. Use this skill when the user wants to crawl a site, extract all pages from a docs section, bulk-scrape multiple pages following links, or says "crawl", "get all the pages", "extract everything under /docs", "bulk extract", or needs content from many pages on the same site. Handles depth limits, path filtering, and concurrent extraction.

    • get-proofpilotSkill

      firecrawl-search

      Web search with full page content extraction. Use this skill whenever the user asks to search the web, find articles, research a topic, look something up, find recent news, discover sources, or says "search for", "find me", "look up", "what are people saying about", or "find articles about". Returns real search results with optional full-page markdown — not just snippets. Provides capabilities beyond Claude's built-in WebSearch.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
