Firecrawl Deep Research

Use this when the user wants a sourced research report, not raw search results.

Onboarding Interview

Infer the topic, depth, and output format from context. If the topic is clear, proceed immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the research topic, required depth, or a critical angle/source constraint.

Firecrawl Collection Plan

Use Firecrawl search and scrape through the CLI or equivalent tool surface.

Quick: search 3-5 queries and scrape 5-10 high-quality sources.
Thorough: search 5-10 queries from different angles and scrape 15-25 sources.
Exhaustive: search 10+ queries and scrape 25+ sources, including primary sources, research papers, expert views, and contrarian sources.

Avoid re-scraping URLs already returned with full content from a search-with-scrape result.

Parallel Work

If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners by research angle:

overview and definitions
technical or implementation details
market and industry context
contrarian views, risks, and limitations
primary sources and official docs

Each researcher should return claims, source URLs, source quality notes, and uncertainty.
