Session overview
Objective: install Firecrawl with the provided API key, verify the CLI on the local machine, and wire the capability into the canonical Projects skill/tooling surfaces so future agents can rely on it.
What was completed
- Installed the Firecrawl CLI and authenticated it with the provided API key.
- Verified the install with
firecrawl --status and a live smoke scrape against https://firecrawl.dev.
- Removed the temporary
.firecrawl/install-check.md artifact after validation.
- Added the canonical umbrella skill at
/Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Skills/firecrawl/SKILL.md.
- Mirrored the same skill into
/Users/samaguiar/.codex/skills/firecrawl/SKILL.md.
- Registered the skill in
/Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/Skills/SKILL-INDEX.md.
- Documented Firecrawl in
/Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/AGENT-TOOL-MANIFEST.md and .credentials/CREDENTIAL-INDEX.md.
- Stored
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY in the local vault and confirmed the Notion secrets page already had Firecrawl credentials.
What was tried and did not work
- The documented helper
routines-build/scripts/skill_registry_check.py was missing from the current tree, so the preferred registry-check path could not be used.
- Validation therefore used direct file checks and matching SHA-256 hashes between the canonical and Codex skill copies.
Decisions and reasoning
- The install was treated as both a local capability change and a drift-prevention task, so the skill, manifest, credential index, and Codex mirror were all updated in the same session.
- The temporary verification artifact was removed to avoid leaving repo noise behind once the smoke test had passed.
- Because the Notion secrets page already held Firecrawl credentials, the session only needed to sync the local operational surfaces.
Files, URLs, source systems, and exact artifact locations
- Source systems: local Firecrawl CLI, Projects skill library, Codex mirrored skill library, local credential vault, Notion secrets reference.
