Checks

Our checks found nothing to flag: it follows the Agent Skills specification's naming and size guidelines and doesn't pipe downloads into a shell.

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(firecrawl *), Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *). The agent can use these without asking while the skill is active.
