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.

English | 简体中文

dsh-project-anchor keeps a solo, long-running DSH project attached to a user-approved Goal, one active Milestone, and a durable Turn checkpoint while leaving project judgment in on-demand Skills.

This GitHub-only public Preview route is tested against DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.6. Each supported Release records its reviewed revision, fixed-SHA CI, public-source installation evidence, and private security-reporting route. npm publication is deliberately outside this route.

What's new in v0.1.0-preview.1

  • Cold recovery can now offer a consent-gated native resume for the exact DSH

Goal linked to an active Anchor. Missing state, drift, deferral, unavailable questions, and resume failure all leave the Anchor and Milestone unchanged.

first use, recovery, limits, removal, and maintainer verification.

  • The bundled drive-large-project guidance now makes fast, continuity, and

high-risk/release execution intensity explicit without adding another persisted planner or risk field to the plugin.

  • Frozen Skill provenance now identifies the merged upstream revision while all

bundled payload bytes remain unchanged and hash-verified.

This remains a source-only GitHub Preview: install the reviewed full commit from the release notes. There is no npm package or moving-branch install route.

Install the pinned GitHub Preview

You need Node ^22.19.0 || >=24.11.0, pnpm on PATH, and DeepSeek Harness

0.1.0-rc.6. Open the v0.1.0-preview.1 release, copy its verified 40-character source commit, and use that exact value below:

npm install --global @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6
dsh --version
dsh plugin --profile web add github:KKLL2025/dsh-project-anchor#<FULL_COMMIT_SHA>

The first add is expected to stop before running the Git package's prepare build. Copy the complete dependency key printed by pnpm into the selected profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml; do not shorten it to the package name:

allowBuilds:
  '<EXACT_KEY_PRINTED_BY_PNPM>': true

Review the pinned source before granting that permission, then repeat the same add command and verify the installed dependency and composed bundle:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:KKLL2025/dsh-project-anchor#<FULL_COMMIT_SHA>
dsh plugin --profile web list dsh-project-anchor --depth 0
dsh --profile web --dump-config
dsh --profile web

Require dsh --version to print 0.1.0-rc.6 and the dependency list to include dsh-project-anchor. The config dump should contain exactly one # == dsh-project-anchor layer. If Web was already running, restart that DSH process after installation. The [getting-started guide](docs/getting-started.md) covers verification, removal, other profiles, and common failures.

Start a project

Use a normal project request that names the long-project Skill:

> Use drive-large-project for this multi-session project: &lt;describe the > project and desired result&gt;. Recover the repository's real state, choose one > independently verifiable Milestone, carry it through validation, and finish > the Turn with the Project Anchor checkpoint. Ask me before decisions that > change product direction, permissions, spending, or public release.

When no current DSH Goal exists, a successful Skill load makes Project Anchor ask whether to enable its persistent continuity layer. Enabling it opens focused questions for the exact Goal and first Milestone; the plugin does not infer or rewrite either answer. When a suitable DSH Goal already exists, the same trigger offers an explicit reuse or resume choice instead of replacing that Goal.

For a later session, this shorter request is enough:

> Continue this project with drive-large-project. Recover the current Goal, > Project Anchor state, handoff, and repository facts; work only on the next > unblocked Milestone, then validate and checkpoint it before ending the Turn.

After a cold session recovery, DSH leaves the Goal disarmed. The next successful drive-large-project load checks that the current Goal still matches the active Anchor exactly and asks whether to resume it. Only an explicit Resume this Goal answer calls DSH's native resume; deferral, missing state, changed revisions, and unavailable questions leave the Goal, Anchor, and Milestone unchanged.

Adaptive execution intensity

For each Milestone, drive-large-project selects the lightest sufficient execution intensity from the current risk and acceptance boundary:

  • fast fits reversible, local work with low uncertainty and inexpensive

checks. It normally uses a focused test without adding management documents, release smoke, or independent audit.

  • continuity fits work that crosses Turns or modules, changes durable state,

or would be costly to recover incorrectly. It keeps the current handoff and adds the integration checks required by the changed contract.

  • high-risk/release fits irreversible, external, security-sensitive,

migration, compatibility, or publication work. It expands evidence to the broad tests, consumer/runtime paths, artifacts, and independent review needed for the claim being made.

This intensity is temporary Skill judgment rather than native plugin state, so the model cannot persist or raise it through an Anchor field. Repository rules, explicit user decisions, and the current acceptance claim remain authoritative; public release and other external actions still require separate authorization.

What is included

The package carries byte-for-byte frozen copies of align-project-requirements, drive-large-project, and organize-ai-project-files. DSH lists their metadata, then loads a Skill body and its referenced resources only when selected. Project and user Skill roots keep their native precedence over these bundled defaults.

The native plugin remembers consent and the stable Goal association, exposes a checkpoint tool only while the Anchor is active, and derives Goal, Milestone, and Turn identity from live DSH state. Ordinary tools remain unrestricted. A missing checkpoint receives at most one short same-Turn repair attempt, avoiding an enforcement loop. Restart recovery leaves interrupted-Turn closure and Goal activation under DSH's native lifecycle.

Compatibility and limits

  • Verified host: DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.6, source revision

47f943859bef60e4160492346772ded9b24f765a.

  • DeepSeek Harness is in developer preview, so later releases may require plugin

changes.

  • GitHub source at the full commit recorded in the Preview release is the only

public distribution path. The package remains unpublished to npm.

  • A Git source install runs this package's prepare script only after pnpm's

explicit allowBuilds approval. That is host code execution, so review the source and pin a full commit SHA. Do not install from a moving branch.

  • A completed Goal is not replaced or reused. Headless activation without a

question provider fails closed.

  • Restart recovery has been tested with JSONL persistence in a separate Node.js

process; OS power loss, torn writes, and cross-machine recovery are outside the current evidence.

Maintainer verification

npm run check
npm run smoke:onboarding
npm run smoke:consumer
npm run smoke:git-source
npm run rc:local

The onboarding smoke resolves the rc.6 CLI from DSH_ENTRY, a local/prepared installation, or npm's global root. It uses an isolated DSH_HOME to pack, install, list, compose, remove, and re-check the plugin without booting a profile or sending a prompt. The consumer smoke also boots fresh Web and headless profiles, validates both plugin fibers and the three frozen Skills, and sends no prompt. rc:local builds one candidate tarball and reuses that exact file in both paths before checking the local Git-source prepare route and writing an ignored machine-readable evidence manifest.

Release evidence is defined in [the candidate gate](docs/release-candidate.md); host-code and frozen-Skill trust boundaries are explicit in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
