Stars: 214; on GitHub
Updated: Nov 2026; last repo commit

This skill makes your agent look up market size, growth, trends, financials and earnings from live sources. It searches and scrapes company investor pages, SEC filings, earnings releases, industry reports and news, and uses a Firecrawl browser for charts and period selectors.

It returns a report with comparison tables and sources. It needs a Firecrawl API key and the Firecrawl CLI, and it says not to give financial advice.

Good for

Analysts sizing a market or comparing companies by the numbers
Founders and product leads preparing an industry overview
Anyone who needs earnings and filing figures with sources

Install firecrawl-market-research

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the firecrawl-market-research 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-market-research. 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: search 2 credits per 10 results; scrape 1 credit per page; Interact (browser sessions) 2 to 7 credits per browser minute.

When it loads

Research markets and companies with Firecrawl using current, cited figures: market size, growth, trends, financials and earnings. Use when the user asks for market research, an industry overview or a comparison of companies by the numbers, since these figures change faster than training data.

Read-only mode

Watch out for

Your company and market queries go through Firecrawl
The skill searches and scrapes with your API key, so the names you ask about are sent to that service. Leave out anything confidential. github.com
It spends your Firecrawl credits
Every call is billed in credits to the account behind the key. Per Firecrawl's billing docs: search 2 credits per 10 results; scrape 1 credit per page; Interact (browser sessions) 2 to 7 credits per browser minute. A free account has 1,000 credits a month, so a large run can use it up. docs.firecrawl.dev
Figures can conflict between sources
SKILL.md tells the agent to cross-reference key numbers and note conflicts. It also says not to give financial advice, so verify before you act on a figure. github.com

Questions

What does the firecrawl-market-research skill do?

It makes your agent research a market or companies using current, cited figures. It pulls market size, growth, financials and earnings from live sources and writes a report with comparison tables.

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: search 2 credits per 10 results; scrape 1 credit per page; Interact (browser sessions) 2 to 7 credits per browser minute. Check your balance with firecrawl credit-usage.

Why use it instead of asking the model directly?

SKILL.md says market and financial figures change faster than training data. The skill sends the agent to search and scrape current sources and asks for a period and unit on every metric.

Does it give investment advice?

No. The quality bar says not to provide financial advice, and it tells the agent to note conflicting data across sources. Treat the report as research notes and check key figures yourself.

Is it safe to install?

It is a single SKILL.md file and bundles no scripts. When it runs, your agent calls Firecrawl with your API key and reads public financial pages. Check the numbers that matter against the source links in the report.
