What problem does it solve? Starting an OSINT investigation without verifying the environment leads to silent evidence loss, broken search tooling, and misconfigured case workspaces. This Skill runs a strict preflight checklist that confirms durable case storage, working search and fetch backings, available OSINT skills, and valid knowledge workspace configuration before any investigation begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Storage Durability Verification: Writes and reads back a probe file to confirm the case directory lives on durable, user-owned storage that survives the session, preventing total evidence loss. - Sovereign Search/Fetch Detection: Checks Crawl4AI and SearXNG availability, with optional Firecrawl and Apify fallbacks detected via environment keys without echoing secrets. - Skill and Integration Inventory: Confirms required OSINT skills resolve, runs manifest-based integration preflight with model-tier rules, and writes results to .spotlight-config.json. - Use Case: Before launching a new investigation into a corporate entity, run this preflight to confirm the case workspace is durable, SearXNG search is reachable, the OpenKnowledge vault validates, and all required investigator skills load correctly. ## Quick Start Run the Spotlight preflight checks to validate my environment, storage, and integrations before starting a new investigation.
