/crawl4ai:setup

Set up the Crawl4AI plugin for Claude Code.

Instructions

Guide the user through setup:

  1. Check current config: Read ~/.crawl4ai/claude_config.json if it exists. Report current mode and whether API key is set.

  2. Choose mode: Ask the user:

    • Cloud mode (default): Uses the Crawl4AI cloud API. Requires an API key from https://crawl4ai.com. Fast, no local browser needed.
    • Local mode: Uses OSS crawl4ai with a local Chromium browser. Free, no API key needed. Requires pip install crawl4ai && crawl4ai-setup.

  3. Configure based on choice:

    For cloud mode:

    • Ask for API key (starts with sk_live_ or sk_test_)
    • Write config to ~/.crawl4ai/claude_config.json: 
      {"mode": "cloud", "api_key": "sk_live_xxx"}
    • Or suggest setting CRAWL4AI_API_KEY env var

    For local mode:

    • Check if crawl4ai is installed: python3 -c "import crawl4ai; print(crawl4ai.__version__)"
    • If not installed, run: pip install crawl4ai && crawl4ai-setup
    • Write config: {"mode": "local"}

  4. Verify setup: Use the crawl MCP tool to crawl https://example.com. Confirm it returns markdown content.

  5. Report status: Tell the user their setup is complete and which mode is active.

cache-components

Expert guidance for Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR). **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Use this skill automatically when working in Next.js projects that have `cacheComponents: true` in their next.config.ts/next.config.js. When this config is detected, proactively apply Cache Components patterns and best practices to all React Server Component implementations. **DETECTION**: At the start of a session in a Next.js project, check for `cacheComponents: true` in next.config. If enabled, this skill's patterns should guide all component authoring, data fetching, and caching decisions. **USE CASES**: Implementing 'use cache' directive, configuring cache lifetimes with cacheLife(), tagging cached data with cacheTag(), invalidating caches with updateTag()/revalidateTag(), optimizing static vs dynamic content boundaries, debugging cache issues, and reviewing Cache Component implementations.
