I have a professional interest in this field, as a user of tools like this. So I have this a shot.
They are generally useless. In particular the “people” related tools are heavily biased towards the US and seem to be wrappers/aggregators on other services.
Big waste of time.

Some of the descriptions are a little vague, eg. "GeoPlaner provides capabilities for geospatial analysis, map verification, and location intelligence."

The workflow-first organization is the right call, most OSINT directories dump everything into a flat list and leave you to figure out what to actually run in sequence. The gap I'd watch for is link rot, 322 tools is manageable to curate now but these repos go unmaintained fast, and a dead link in the middle of an active investigation is worse than not having the directory at all, any automated health checking on the links?

While yeah maybe having this all in a github repo is helpful in a little way to help organize things...I think we should if not stop, at least slow down our collective dumping of so much stuff into the centralized, corporate silos.
Then again, they do make mention a bout this being open source, and ,living in some github repo already (https://osintradar.com/faq#contribute )...but, oddly, they don't link to said repo.

Note for the creator, it may be worthwhile to add a 'local tool' vs 'online service' .
