Allow monitor create/update commands to consume a JSON payload from a positional file argument or piped stdin (use '-' to force stdin). Introduce async readJsonPayload helper, refactor buildCreateBody to no longer take a raw body string, and try JSON input first before falling back to flag-built payloads. Update CLI signatures, help text, and examples accordingly, and add the monitor entry to the SKILL.md command list.
Add support for webhook configuration and canceling jobs across agent, crawl, and scrape commands. Introduce JSON parsing helpers and CLI options for schema, actions, scrape-options, proxy, and webhook (inline or file), and validate payload shapes. Extend types to include webhook/cancel fields and normalize agent statuses to include "cancelled", updating polling and status handling accordingly. Propagate webhook/scrapeOptions through command handlers and improve CLI behavior for global --status handling and format resolution.
default pattern: parse to .firecrawl/ then grep/read. removed links/images/rawhtml from skill - kept markdown/html/summary (the formats that work cleanly on all supported file types).
Update vendored scaffold references and default remote to use firecrawl/web-agent. Adjusted header comments in create.ts, create-flow.ts, credentials.ts, manifest.ts, scaffold.ts, and ui.ts, and changed DEFAULT_REMOTE in manifest.ts from 'firecrawl/firecrawl-agent' to 'firecrawl/web-agent' so the scaffolder clones the web-agent repo for templates.
Replaces the `npx firecrawl-agent-cli` delegator with an in-process
scaffolder vendored from firecrawl/firecrawl-agent. No separate npm
package for the agent CLI — the root firecrawl-cli clones the public
agent repo at runtime to fetch templates + agent-core.
- Vendor under src/utils/agent-scaffold/ (manifest, scaffold,
credentials, ui, create-flow). Upstream-tracked; keep in sync.
- manifest.ts: strip the "bundled next to CLI" branch (doesn't apply
here), always clone the public repo. Nested-manifest fallback
handles the current `.internal/cli/agent-manifest.json` location.
- Extract handleCreate from upstream init.ts; drop the commander
wrapper since the root CLI owns the command surface.
- create.ts now lazy-imports the scaffolder so non-create paths stay
snappy.
Smoke-tested end-to-end against a local agent repo via --from: next
template scaffolds correctly with agent-core, .env.local, and
expected file layout.
Wires a hidden `firecrawl create <kind>` command tree into the root CLI.
Only the `agent` kind is registered today; it delegates to
`npx -y firecrawl-agent-cli create` with full flag passthrough so the
agent repo remains the single source of truth for templates.
The command is hidden from --help until `firecrawl-agent-cli` is on
npm. Flip to visible by removing `{ hidden: true }` in index.ts.
Surface:
firecrawl create agent [name] [-t next|express|library]
firecrawl create agent [name] --provider <p> --model <m>
firecrawl create agent [name] --api-key <fc-key> --key anthropic=sk-...
firecrawl create agent [name] --from user/repo
