Find and synthesize research papers, whitepapers, PDFs, technical reports
by firecrawlFree
Description
firecrawl-research-papers is an agent skill for finding and synthesizing research papers, whitepapers, PDFs, technical reports and academic sources into a sourced literature review. It uses Firecrawl Research, a paper index that supports semantic paper search, as the main path for finding and checking papers. For whitepapers, technical reports, research blogs, leaderboards and other material outside the paper index, the skill falls back to general Firecrawl search and scraping. Before starting, the agent infers the topic, source constraints, target paper count and output format from the conversation, and proceeds straight away if the topic is clear. It asks at most one to three short questions, and only when it is blocked, for example on the topic, the number of papers or a required venue, date or method. The skill has a collection plan that the agent follows to gather the sources and then synthesize them. It is part of Firecrawl's workflows repository and is added to a compatible agent with the skills command. The companion skill firecrawl-deep-research covers broader web research reports. The security audits passed with Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket, and Snyk shows a warning.…
