Web Scraper (Semantic Search Enhancer)
Built on two plugins — Firecrawl (to render and scrape modern JavaScript-based websites) and Exa (to run semantic search that understands meaning and intent rather than just matching keywords) — this skill fixes Claude's two biggest research limitations: it can't reliably pull data from JS-rendered pages, and its native search only does keyword matching. Once installed, it triggers automatically any time Claude searches the web, so every other skill benefits from richer, more accurate source data.
What you get
- Automatic JS-page scraping via Firecrawl
- semantic (meaning-based) search via Exa
- runs silently as a background utility layer
- improves data quality for every downstream skill.
Customize your output
- Which plugins/APIs to wire in (Firecrawl, Exa, or alternatives)
- trigger conditions for when the skill auto-activates.
Example output
Asked to find the top fitness research from the past 3 years, the skill pulled full-text data from modern JS-rendered research sites using semantic search instead of generic keyword hits.
Best for
Anyone who wants Claude's research and data-gathering to be meaningfully more accurate and complete.
