Configure FireCrawl local development with hot reload and testing. Use when setting up a development environment, configuring test workflows, or establishing a fast iteration cycle with FireCrawl. Trigger with phrases like "firecrawl dev setup", "firecrawl local development", "firecrawl dev environment", "develop with firecrawl".
From firecrawl-packnpx claudepluginhub nickloveinvesting/nick-love-plugins --plugin firecrawl-packThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
Guides Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR) with cacheComponents enabled. Implements 'use cache', cacheLife(), cacheTag(), revalidateTag(), static/dynamic optimization, and cache debugging.
Migrates code, prompts, and API calls from Claude Sonnet 4.0/4.5 or Opus 4.1 to Opus 4.5, updating model strings on Anthropic, AWS, GCP, Azure platforms.
Details PluginEval's skill quality evaluation: 3 layers (static, LLM judge), 10 dimensions, rubrics, formulas, anti-patterns, badges. Use to interpret scores, improve triggering, calibrate thresholds.
Set up a fast, reproducible local development workflow for FireCrawl.
