SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Complex scientific, technical, policy, or market questions often require synthesizing dozens of sources into a rigorous, cited report, which is slow and error-prone when done manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Depth-Tiered Collection: Choose Quick, Thorough, or Exhaustive research depth, mapping to 3-10+ search queries and 5-25+ scraped sources via the Firecrawl API. - Parallel Multi-Angle Research: Coordinate sub-agents across angles like technical details, market context, contrarian views, and primary sources. - Structured Cited Report: Produce a formal Markdown report with executive summary, key findings, contrarian views, open questions, and a full source list. - Use Case: Ask for an exhaustive report on a new policy or technology trend, and receive a synthesized document with citations, conflicting evidence flagged, and rerun inputs recorded. ## Quick Start Use the firecrawl-deep-research skill to produce a thorough cited report on the current state of solid-state battery commercialization.

What is Firecrawl deep research used for?

It is used for report-scale synthesis of complex scientific, technical, policy, or market topics that cannot be answered with a short search. It is not intended for product picks, top-N lists, or quick lookups.

Do I need an API key to use Firecrawl deep research?

Yes, a FIRECRAWL_API_KEY is required for hosted Firecrawl requests. The key authenticates search and scrape calls made through the Firecrawl CLI or equivalent tool surface.

When should I not use deep research for a question?

Avoid it for product recommendations, top-N lists, quick fact lookups, or routine questions answerable with a short search. The skill is designed only for formal, cited, report-scale synthesis.

How many sources does a Firecrawl research report use?

It depends on depth: Quick scrapes 5-10 sources, Thorough scrapes 15-25, and Exhaustive scrapes 25 or more including primary sources, research papers, and contrarian viewpoints.
