Installs: 31.5K; on skills.sh
Stars: 214; on GitHub
Updated: Nov 2026; last repo commit

This skill makes your agent research a product across retailers, review sites, Reddit and forums, then pick one option and explain why. It compares price, specs, reviews, seller quality, shipping and fit to your preferences.

It adds an item to a cart only if you explicitly ask and a signed-in browser profile exists, and it stops before checkout. It needs a Firecrawl API key and the Firecrawl CLI.

Good for

Shoppers comparing products against a budget
Anyone who wants reviews, specs and prices in one place
People who want an item added to a cart but not bought

Install firecrawl-shop

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the firecrawl-shop 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-shop. 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.

What's in the skill

When it loads

Researches products across retailers and review sites with Firecrawl and recommends what to buy within the user's budget and preferences, with current prices and sources. Use when the user wants to compare products, find the best option or check reviews before buying, since prices and models change faster than training data. Adds to a cart only when asked and a signed-in browser profile exists.

Permissions

Medium risk

It can add items to a cart in your signed-in browser profile, and checkout only happens if you explicitly say so. Leave cart actions out of your request if you only want research.

What it can do

Read your data
Create and change things
Delete things
Read-only mode

Watch out for

It can change your cart in a signed-in account
Only when you explicitly ask, per SKILL.md. The cart status section reports the item, price and seller. github.com
Checkout is a separate instruction
SKILL.md says to stop before checkout unless you explicitly instruct otherwise, and not to purchase without explicit approval. Do not give that instruction unless you mean to spend money (our advice). 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

Questions

What does the firecrawl-shop skill do?

It makes your agent research a product and recommend what to buy. It compares current prices, specs, reviews and sellers, and gives sources for each claim.

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.

Will it buy things for me?

Not without your explicit approval. SKILL.md says to add to a cart only when you ask, to stop before checkout, and not to purchase or check out without explicit approval.

What does it need to add an item to my cart?

A signed-in browser profile and your explicit request. SKILL.md does not say how that profile is set up.

Does it flag sponsored reviews?

SKILL.md says to note affiliate, sponsored or unreliable sources when they are visible.

Is it safe to install?

It is a single SKILL.md file and bundles no scripts. When it runs, your agent browses shopping sites through Firecrawl, and with a signed-in profile it can act in your shopping account. Leave cart actions out of your prompt unless you want them.
