From 266969acb7fa8a3295ac97eaf59f3384275f1a7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: salvacybersec Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 01:12:26 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] feat(community-skills): add bellingcat-osint-toolkit (342 OSINT tools) Curated OSINT-tool catalog from Bellingcat's Online Investigation Toolkit (https://bellingcat.gitbook.io/toolkit). Sourced from the upstream nightly CSV release at https://github.com/bellingcat/toolkit/releases/tag/csv. Layout: - SKILL.md - overview, persona affinity matrix (12 personas), workflow primer, quick recipes, cross-reference to other repo skills - data/all-tools.csv - 342-row raw catalog (Category,Name,URL,Description, Cost,Details). Greppable for ad-hoc queries. - references/.md (x12) - per-category tool tables (Maps & Satellites 83, Geolocation 9, Image/Video 35, Social Media 63, People 33, Websites 17, Companies & Finance 26, Conflict 6, Transport 27, Environment & Wildlife 24, Archiving 8, Data Org & Analysis 11) - scripts/refresh.sh - re-pull CSV from upstream nightly release - scripts/regenerate-references.py - rebuild references/*.md from CSV Persona mapping (DEFAULT_SKILL_PERSONA_MAP): oracle, frodo, wraith, sentinel, scribe, ledger, centurion, marshal, warden, echo, herald, ghost - 12 personas covering the OSINT operations spectrum. NAME_PATTERNS: bellingcat- prefix added to osint-intel bucket so the skill lands in opencode/feynman default topic install set. Cost stratification across all 342 tools: 264 free, 56 freemium, 16 paid. Free-tier substitutes exist for nearly every paid service.
