This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

dsh-reasoning-effort

Adds configurable thinking-strength (reasoning-effort) levels to custom providers in DeepSeek Harness (hand-declared llm-pi-ai routes).

Built-in deepseek-official already offers Off/High/Max, but custom providers only expose levels when each model explicitly declares reasoningEfforts. This plugin adds a settings page that writes those declarations straight into llm-pi-ai — the composer's model picker and the request path pick them up immediately.

Highlights

  • Custom (hand-declared) routes only; built-in/catalog routes are never touched.
  • Explicit opt-in: only models you tick are written.
  • Changes auto-save (600 ms debounce).
  • Apply known model: search and apply the reasoning levels of ~420 known reasoning models (embedded catalog, regenerable via scripts/dump-catalog.mjs && scripts/embed-known.mjs).
  • Provider cards collapsed by default.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add "link:<path>/dsh-reasoning-effort"

(Or copy the package into <DSH_HOME>/profiles/node_modules/dsh-reasoning-effort and add "dsh-reasoning-effort" to the profile's dsh.profile.bundles.)

Restart the web profile afterwards.

Use

Settings → Thinking strength: expand a custom provider, tick the levels each model should offer (off / minimal / low / medium / high / xhigh / max; off omits the reasoning parameter), optionally set the provider default level and thinking format, or search an input field to apply a known model's levels. Changes write directly to llm-pi-ai's reasoningEfforts.

How it works

Settings page → settings.mutate("llm-pi-ai")
  → providers.<route>.models[].reasoningEfforts (persisted in settings.yaml)
  → dsh-llm-pi-ai hot-reload
  → resolveModelInfo().reasoning → picker shows levels, request path validates/dispatches

Limitations

  • Hand-declared (declared === true) routes only; catalog modelOverrides injection is out of scope for v1.
  • Requires @deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-pi-ai to be mounted.
  • scripts/ holds the catalog regeneration tools and is not published with the npm package.
