Installs: 31.3K; on skills.sh
Stars: 214; on GitHub
Updated: Nov 2026; last repo commit

This skill makes your agent open a product in a Firecrawl browser, take a snapshot at each step and document what appears and what the user can do. Typical focuses are signup, onboarding, pricing, docs, dashboard and help.

The report has flow walkthroughs, key findings and recommendations, and keeps observation separate from opinion. It needs a Firecrawl API key and the Firecrawl CLI, and it does not submit real credentials, purchases or irreversible actions unless you explicitly instruct it to.

Good for

Product managers preparing a demo or reviewing a first-run experience
Designers doing a UX teardown of a competitor
Founders documenting their own onboarding

Install firecrawl-demo-walkthrough

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the firecrawl-demo-walkthrough skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

/plugin marketplace add firecrawl/firecrawl-workflows
/plugin install firecrawl-workflows@firecrawl-workflows

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Pick one route. The plugin routes install the whole firecrawl-workflows plugin: 16 skills (counted from the skills list in its plugin.json), and the repo tree has no hooks, agents or MCP config files. The skills-only routes install just firecrawl-demo-walkthrough. The skill drives the Firecrawl CLI and needs a Firecrawl API key. Install the Firecrawl CLI first, since the skill runs firecrawl commands: npm install -g firecrawl-cli (Firecrawl CLI docs), or npx -y firecrawl-cli@latest init -y --browser to install it, sign in and add the shared skills in one step. Then run firecrawl login or export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY. Who pays: the Firecrawl account that owns the key. Every call uses credits; a new account starts on the free plan with 1,000 credits a month and no card. Per Firecrawl's billing docs: Interact (browser sessions) 2 to 7 credits per browser minute; scrape 1 credit per page.

Questions

What does the firecrawl-demo-walkthrough skill do?

It makes your agent walk through a product's key flows and document them. You get a structured report of screens, actions, friction points and recommendations.

How do I install it in Claude Code or Codex?

Use the install box at the top of this page. Each client has a plugin route and skills CLI commands. Install the Firecrawl CLI first (npm install -g firecrawl-cli, per its docs), then run firecrawl login or set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY.

Who pays for it?

You do, through the Firecrawl account that owns your API key. Firecrawl bills in credits, and a new account starts on the free plan with 1,000 credits a month and no card. Per its billing docs: Interact (browser sessions) 2 to 7 credits per browser minute; scrape 1 credit per page. Check your balance with firecrawl credit-usage.

Will it create an account or buy anything?

Not unless you explicitly instruct it and have permission. SKILL.md says not to submit real credentials, purchases or irreversible actions otherwise.

What flows can it cover?

The focus options in SKILL.md are full, signup, pricing, docs and dashboard. The parallel walker roles also include Homepage and Marketing and Help and Support.

Is it safe to install?

It is a single SKILL.md file and bundles no scripts. When it runs, your agent drives a browser on the product you name through Firecrawl. Use a test account if you want it to go past the signup screen.
