Firecrawl Research Papers

Use this to create a sourced literature review.

Onboarding Interview

Infer the topic, source constraints, target count, 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 topic, target paper count, or required venue/date/method constraints.

Firecrawl Collection Plan

Search for papers, PDFs, whitepapers, technical reports, and research blogs. Scrape PDF URLs directly when available; Firecrawl can extract PDFs.

Target source types:

• academic papers from arXiv, university sites, ACM/IEEE pages where accessible
• industry reports and whitepapers
• company research blogs
• technical articles and conference summaries

Parallel Work

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

• Academic Papers researcher
• Industry Reports researcher
• Technical Articles researcher
• Synthesis and citation reviewer

Quality Bar

• Every major claim should trace to a source.
• Note inaccessible or failed PDFs.
• Distinguish peer-reviewed work from blogs and vendor reports.
