Firecrawl Research
This automates web research by pulling topics from your markdown files and scraping content through FireCrawl's API. You feed it a markdown file with headers or tagged items, and it generates separate research documents for each topic with full scraped content from multiple sources. It's surprisingly complete: includes rate limiting for the free tier, generates BibTeX bibliographies from results, and bundles Pandoc and MyST templates for academic writing. The 12 second delay between topics means researching 10 topics takes about 2 minutes, which is the right trade-off if you're actually writing papers and need proper citations instead of quick summaries. Good fit for literature reviews or maintaining an Obsidian research vault where you want full source text, not just links.

FireCrawl Research
Overview
Enrich research documents by automatically searching and scraping web sources using the FireCrawl API. Extract research topics from markdown files and generate comprehensive research documents with source material.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Says "Research this topic using FireCrawl"
- Requests to enrich notes or documents with web sources
- Wants to gather information about topics listed in a markdown file
- Needs to search and scrape multiple topics systematically
How It Works
1. Topic Extraction
The script automatically extracts research topics from markdown files using two methods:
Method 1: Headers
## Spatial Reasoning in AI
### Computer Vision Applications
Both Spatial Reasoning in AI and Computer Vision Applications become research topics.
Method 2: Research Tags
- [research] Large Language Models for robotics
- [search] Theory of Mind in autonomous driving
Both tagged items become research topics.
2. Search and Scrape
