firecrawl-knowledge-base
Build a knowledge base from web content with Firecrawl. Use for local reference docs, RAG-ready chunks, fine-tuning datasets, documentation mirrors, topic corpora, or LLM-ready markdown organized from web sources.

Firecrawl Knowledge Base
Use this to turn URLs or topics into organized LLM-ready content.
Onboarding Interview
Infer the source, goal, depth, and output location from context. If the source and goal are clear, proceed immediately.
Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the source URL/topic, whether the output is reference/RAG/training/docs, or training format if training is requested.
Firecrawl Collection Plan
Use Firecrawl map for documentation sites, search for topic-based corpora, scrape pages into markdown, and preserve code examples and tables.
For files, follow the Firecrawl download-style convention:
.firecrawl/
<hostname>/
<path>/
index.md
Parallel Work
If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners:
- one docs section per researcher
- official docs, tutorials, community discussions, and references by source type
- source scraping vs chunk generation vs manifest generation
Output Modes
- Reference: markdown files,
index.md, andsources.json. - RAG: markdown files plus chunk files and
manifest.json. - Training: scraped source files plus
training-data.jsonlandtraining-metadata.json. - Docs mirror: complete markdown mirror with a table of contents.
