Consolidate 22 sibling repos into layered organism structure
Place useful parts of the surrounding repos into sica-fondt by layer, per the
body model (Ada = membrane; brain/endocrine/capabilities/knowledge non-Ada):

- brain/        LLM reasoning + providers (dapr, hermes, MoMoA)
- capabilities/ REPRAG sidecars: hermes tools/skills, dapr tools, parallel
                dispatch, A51 channels, and the OSINT cluster
- knowledge/    LORAG corpus: 754 cyber-skills, agency personas, secure-coding,
                MITRE ATT&CK data
- reference/    defensive threat-reference (C3, shhbruh doc) + AdaYaml parser

License handling: AGPL sources (worldosint, advanced_evolution, mercury,
Reticulum) and GPL DeTTECT are SPEC-only clean-room/port descriptions — no
copyleft code copied. MIT/Apache/data parts copied as working trees.

Safety: shhbruh escape/persistence material and C3 covert-C2 kept as reference
only, not wired into the running organism. See CONSOLIDATION.md.

# Implementing SIEM Use Case Tuning
## Overview
SIEM use case tuning reduces alert fatigue by systematically analyzing detection rules for false positive rates, adjusting thresholds based on environmental baselines, creating context-aware whitelists, and measuring detection efficacy through precision/recall metrics. This skill covers tuning workflows for Splunk correlation searches and Elastic detection rules, including statistical baselining, exclusion list management, and alert-to-incident conversion tracking.
## When to Use
- When deploying or configuring implementing siem use case tuning capabilities in your environment
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation
## Prerequisites
- Splunk Enterprise/Cloud with ES or Elastic SIEM with detection rules enabled
- Historical alert data (minimum 30 days) for baseline analysis
- Python 3.8+ with `requests` library
- SIEM admin credentials or API tokens
## Steps
1. Export current alert volumes per detection rule from SIEM
2. Calculate false positive rate per rule using analyst disposition data
3. Identify top noise-generating rules by volume and FP rate
4. Build environmental baselines for thresholds (e.g., login counts, process spawns)
5. Create whitelist entries for known-good entities (service accounts, scanners)
6. Adjust rule thresholds using statistical analysis (mean + N standard deviations)
7. Measure tuning impact via before/after precision and alert-to-incident ratio
## Expected Output
JSON report with per-rule tuning recommendations including current FP rate, suggested threshold adjustments, whitelist entries, and projected alert reduction percentages.
