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-md-memory

English | 简体中文

A small file memory plugin for DeepSeek Harness. The model writes what should persist as markdown under ~/.dsh/memory. Next session, the host injects it.

This is not a second brain. The community already has fuller memory plugins (auto-extract, vector search, settings dashboards). This one stays small: the disk holds files you can open in a text editor, and nothing is saved unless the model calls memory.

MIT

What it does

  • Remembers preferences, corrections, and reusable lessons across sessions
  • Three files: user.md (cross-project) / agent/MEMORY.md (hot rules) / agent/topics/*.md (on-demand topics)
  • Project-only facts belong in the repo AGENTS.md, not here
  • Subagents cannot write, so parallel tasks cannot scramble memory
  • If you say things like “remember / from now on / don’t ever”, and nothing was stored this turn, the host nudges the model

What it does not do

  • No automatic extraction from the chat
  • No secret scanning (do not let the model write tokens here)
  • No vector / full-text engine (search is a plain substring)
  • No browser settings page

Do not install this next to another plugin that also registers a tool named memory.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:CuteSamurai24/dsh-md-memory

Then restart dsh web.

Uninstall:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-md-memory

Files stay in ~/.dsh/memory. Uninstalling the plugin does not delete them.

Where the files live

~/.dsh/memory/
  user.md              You, across projects: identity, tone, standing preferences
  agent/MEMORY.md      Hot rules for almost every session (keep this short)
  agent/topics/*.md    Topics, read when the description matches

On Windows that is C:\Users\<you>\.dsh\memory\. Open the files in Notepad to check, edit, or delete.

How the model writes

One tool, named memory:

OperationUse
read / search / listRead
append / edit / writeWrite a layer
create / deleteManage topics

Appending to user requires a one-sentence reason: why this still holds on a different project.

Caps: user 8KB, hot rules 12KB, one topic 20KB. Long material goes in a topic.

Turn it off

On by default. In ~/.dsh/settings.yaml:

md-memory:
  enabled: false

Later turns in this process stop injecting and stop offering the tool. Restarting dsh web is the simplest way.

Other memory plugins

DSH has no official long-term memory product. The community already has KV stores, auto-extract, persona files, and heavier “evolve” suites. This plugin only covers one narrow need: the model writes markdown, a human can open it.
