What it does

Audit and consolidate a fact that's scattered across places into one canonical source, after approval, and replace the rest with references. Use when asked to find duplication, check consistency, locate the source of truth, deduplicate, consolidate, unify, or establish SSOT across artifacts or platforms. Starts read-only, reports the map and plan, then mutates only after explicit approval.

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.
