Bash(firecrawl *)Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)skills/firecrawl-download/SKILL.mdmain, last pushed 23 September 2026.SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. One layout observed: skills/*/SKILL.md.h1 and no skipped levels:.claude-plugin/marketplace.json by Firecrawl, declaring 1 plugin. It is read for editorial metadata only — never as the skill index, which is always the repository tree./firecrawl/cli.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.
