I shared a repo on HN last week that lets you use remote execution with these kinds of script files autonomously - if you want to. It had some interesting negative and positive discussion.

The post mentioned Pete Koomen's install.md idea as an example use case. So now with this launch you can try it with a real intstallation script!

I think it's a really interesting idea worth experimentation and exploration. So it's a positive thing to see Mintlify launch this, and that it's already on Firecrawl.dev's docs!

We can all learn from it.

The claude-run tool lets you execute files like this autonomously if you want to experiment with it.

    curl -fsSL https://docs.firecrawl.dev/install.md | claude-run --permission-mode bypassPermissions

This is still a very early-stage idea, but I'm really stoked to see this today. For anyone interested in experimenting with it, it's a good idea to try in a sandboxed environment.
