- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
This skill uses the Firecrawl CLI to download website content to local directories. While it performs legitimate command execution and package fetching from the vendor's registry, it processes untrusted web content which presents a surface for indirect prompt injection.

What does this agent skill do?
firecrawl download (invoked as firecrawl x download)
Experimental.
downloadis available under thefirecrawl xcommand group.
Prerequisite: download requires authentication (no keyless free tier); without credentials the CLI prompts an interactive login.
Maps the site origin first to discover pages, then scrapes each one into nested directories under .firecrawl/. Use --include-paths to scope a non-root URL to one section. Automated runs always pass -y — without it the command opens an interactive wizard that blocks on a prompt.
Quick start
# With screenshots
firecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --screenshot --limit 20 -y
# Multiple formats (each saved as its own file per page)
firecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --format markdown,links --screenshot --limit 20 -y
# Creates per page: index.md + links.txt + screenshot.png
# Filter to specific sections
firecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --include-paths "/features,/sdks" -y
# Skip translations
firecrawl x download https://docs.example.com --exclude-paths "/zh,/ja,/fr,/es,/pt-BR" -y
Run firecrawl x download --help for the full option list, including which scrape options download supports.
Done when: the command exits successfully and the expected files exist under .firecrawl/.
