- 2026-07-08 / SKILLSRoute subagents to Haiku and scope rules by path — a benchmarked 77–91% Claude Code cost cutFirecrawl benchmarked 12 token techniques and found the biggest wins come from model routing (send isolated subagent work to Haiku instead of Opus) and path-scoped rules that load directory-specific context only when you touch that directory, rather than a monolithic CLAUDE.md. One prompt-shaping technique hit 91.9% context reduction with no measured quality regression.
- 2026-06-25 / SKILLSSet three nested timeouts on autonomous agents: per-tool-call, per-task-loop, and per-sandbox-lifetimeBound runaway agents with timeouts at three distinct levels — per tool call (~30s), per task loop (~20min), and per sandbox lifetime — so a single hung tool, a looping reasoning chain, and a zombie sandbox each have their own independent kill point. Most teams set only a single overall timeout and discover too late that an agent burned tokens looping inside a still-'alive' session. Layering the limits gives containment at the exact granularity where each failure mode actually occurs.
- 2026-06-11 / PROJECTSSuperpowers Tops Claude Skills at 201K+ Stars and 752K+ Plugin InstallsSuperpowers, billed as a complete development methodology for AI agents rather than just a skill collection, is the most-starred Claude skills repo at 201K+ stars, with 752,120 installs in Anthropic's public plugin directory as of June 1, 2026. It bundles opinionated workflows and agents into a full agentic-development system. Its scale makes it a de facto reference implementation for how to structure an agent's operating methodology.
- 2026-05-27 / SKILLSFirecrawl v2.10 Ships Lockdown Mode (Zero Outbound Requests) and /parse Endpoint for Local Document-to-Markdown — Rust Engine 5x FasterFirecrawl v2.10 adds two major features for AI agent pipelines: a /parse endpoint that converts local PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, and 5 other formats into LLM-ready Markdown/JSON (up to 50MB, preserving tables and reading order), and Lockdown Mode that forces /scrape to read only from Firecrawl's index with zero outbound network requests. Lockdown is designed for compliance-constrained and air-gapped environments. The /parse engine is rewritten in Rust for 5x speed improvement. Four new official SDKs: Go, Ruby, PHP, .NET.
- 2026-03-22 / SKILLSFile-Type Routing for RAG Chunking: PDFs to Page-Level, Web Pages to Recursive Split, Code to Language-Aware SeparatorsProduction RAG pipelines achieve optimal per-type recall by routing each document format to a different chunking strategy: PDFs use page-level chunking to preserve layout and avoid cross-page bleed, web pages use recursive character splitting at 400-512 tokens, and code files use language-aware separators that respect function and class boundaries. Firecrawl's 2026 RAG benchmark identifies this content-type routing pattern as a baseline production requirement — one-size-fits-all chunking consistently degrades recall across mixed document corpora.
