ssotize

ssotize is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LilMGenius/paperthin. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,120 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding repeated copies of the same fact across documents or systems and choosing one official home for it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit duplicates, identify the source of truth, and replace extra copies with references.
Why use it?
It prevents copied information from drifting out of sync. Changes are made only after you approve the consolidation plan.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ssotize scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find where one truth lives, get approval for the consolidation plan, then collapse it into one canonical home.

Goal

Enforce Single Source of Truth (SSOT): one fact = one home, and every other place that needs it references that home instead of copying it. References don't drift; copies do. This mutates artifacts, so it is deliberate and loss-averse.

ssotize starts as a read-only audit. It names the truth in scope, finds every copy, chooses the canonical home, and reports the exact consolidation plan. Only after the user approves that plan does it mutate artifacts.

Use this to establish or repair SSOT — messy, legacy, or freshly-scaffolded states. Once SSOT holds, don't overuse it: consolidation is a one-time repair, not ongoing upkeep. When a read-only checker and a mutating follow-up have become one inseparable workflow, fold the checker into the consolidator and keep the approval gate; splitting the reflex only makes the safer first half easier to skip.

Workflow

  1. Name the truth in scope — the specific fact, value, spec, decision, status, or definition being tracked, not the whole document.
  2. Audit read-only first: enumerate every occurrence across the given artifacts and platforms.
  3. Re-enumerate by a second method — a different search term, synonym, or tool — and confirm it surfaces no occurrence the first pass missed.
  4. Classify each occurrence: exact copy, paraphrase, partial, stale, or contradictory.
  5. Pick the canonical home — the most authoritative and most-maintained location, closest to where the fact actually changes. Never promote a weak copy just because it is convenient; extract a new canonical home if none exists.
  6. Decide the action per non-canonical occurrence: dedupe (redundant copy), reference (docs should link to canonical, code should import/source/include it, config should use a shared read), or reconcile (it disagrees and needs a human call).
  7. Report the audit before editing: a table of occurrences (location · kind · action), the proposed canonical home with a one-line justification, unique details that must be folded into it, contradictions that need a decision, and the exact mutation plan.
  8. Ask for explicit approval to execute the mutation plan. If approval is not given, stop after the read-only report.
  9. Make or extract the canonical home complete and current — fold in any unique detail that lived only in a copy. Never lose information to consolidation.
  10. Reconcile contradictions in the canonical home first; when the correct value is ambiguous, confirm it before replacing anything.
  11. Replace each duplicate with a live reference to the canonical home — for docs, use a link, a "see ", a quote-with-link, or a transclude where the platform supports it; for code, use an import/source/include of the shared home; for config, use a shared read from the one maintained file.
  12. Remove the now-redundant copies. Where removal would orphan a reader, leave a one-line pointer instead of deleting outright.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ssotize is a skill published in the GitHub repository LilMGenius/paperthin (1,054 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,120 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
