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
