Purpose: Identify and avoid 10 common anti-patterns including ignoring rate limits, poor error handling, inefficient crawl patterns, and content quality issues. Workflow: Best practices skill - prevents common mistakes through pattern recognition and proactive guidance. Relates to: Synthesizes lessons from all operational skills; foundational for code review
Summary
This skill documents the most common FireCrawl anti-patterns and how to avoid them. It covers ignoring rate limits (causing API lockouts), missing error handling (silent failures), inefficient crawl patterns (over-fetching, redundant requests), poor caching (wasted API calls), ignoring content quality (accepting bad data), security anti-patterns (exposed keys, unvalidated input), and operational anti-patterns (missing monitoring, no alerting). Each anti-pattern includes detection methods, consequences, and fixes.
