How does this skill improve my web scraping project?

It provides a proven, layered architecture that separates concerns—such as caching, error handling, and business logic—making your code easier to test, debug, and scale.

FireCrawl is a specialized API that crawls websites and converts their content into clean, LLM-ready markdown or structured data.

Is caching handled automatically?

The architecture includes a dedicated service layer for caching (e.g., using Redis) to reduce redundant API calls and improve response times.

Does this architecture include error handling?

Yes, it implements a custom error boundary designed to transform SDK-level errors into actionable application errors with built-in retry logic.

Can I use this skill with existing TypeScript projects?

Absolutely. While it's great for new setups, the skill also provides guidance on refactoring existing implementations into the recommended reference structure.
