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 | 中文说明

J-Space Cognition Suite (V3.6) is an inference-time cognitive control plugin designed for DeepSeek Harness (DSH). It enhances the reasoning fidelity, context persistence, and verification discipline of LLMs (especially DeepSeek-V4-Pro / Flash and Kimi models) during complex, long-horizon tasks.

🌟 Why J-Space?

During long multi-step reasoning, coding, and autonomous workflows, large language models frequently suffer from four major inference-time losses: 1. Working-Set Overload: Too many active constraints dilute attention. 2. Representation Drift: Global invariants, architectural definitions, or goals gradually mutate across steps. 3. Uncontrolled Retry: Repeating failed routes without carrying diagnostic hypotheses. 4. Premature Completion: Mistaking fluent conversational output for verified execution.

J-Space turns the model's accessible working memory into a structured, actively managed internal workspace without changing model weights or requiring fine-tuning.

⚙️ 6 Core Cognitive Mechanisms

ModuleMechanismImpact
Broadcast HubShared constraints derived once and broadcastPrevents cross-file & cross-step representation drift
Dense Track✓ / ? / ✗ symbol registers with lossless plain-text expansionEnforces stepwise falsification & rigorous self-verification
Directed FocusWorkspace limited to 1-2 active conceptsEliminates working-set cognitive overload
Bridge ReasoningMandates intermediate bridging before conclusionEliminates conclusion-first rationalization
Self-MonitoringAutonomously detects reasoning degenerationTriggers rollback with explicit diagnosis
Workspace LedgerPersistent state externalization (jspace.py)Maintains durable memory across task seams & subagents

🚀 Installation

Compatible with all operating systems (macOS, Linux, Windows).

Method 1: DSH CLI (Recommended for Local & Server)

Inside your DSH profile or project workspace, run:

# Install directly from GitHub
dsh plugin add github:kolawong/dsh-plugin-j-space

# Or link from a local folder
dsh plugin add ./dsh-plugin-j-space

Method 2: Manual Setup (Local / Server / Container)

If you are cloning manually into your user directory (~/.dsh):

macOS / Linux:

# 1. Clone into your DSH plugins directory
mkdir -p ~/.dsh/plugins ~/.dsh/skills
git clone https://github.com/kolawong/dsh-plugin-j-space.git ~/.dsh/plugins/dsh-plugin-j-space

# 2. Symlink skill to the global skill directory
ln -sfn ~/.dsh/plugins/dsh-plugin-j-space/skills/j-space ~/.dsh/skills/j-space

# 3. Restart DSH
# On local desktop/CLI: restart your 'dsh web' or app process
# On systemd server: systemctl restart deepseek-harness

Windows (PowerShell):

# 1. Clone into your user profile DSH plugins directory
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$HOME\.dsh\plugins", "$HOME\.dsh\skills"
git clone https://github.com/kolawong/dsh-plugin-j-space.git "$HOME\.dsh\plugins\dsh-plugin-j-space"

# 2. Create directory junction for skill
New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "$HOME\.dsh\skills\j-space" -Target "$HOME\.dsh\plugins\dsh-plugin-j-space\skills\j-space"

# 3. Restart your DSH process

🎛️ 4 Runtime Modes & Activation Policy

You can switch the operating mode in the DSH Web UI (Settings ➔ Plugins ➔ J-Space) or in ~/.dsh/settings.yaml:

j-space:
  mode: on-demand # Options: on-demand | always-on | auto | off
  • 🎯 On Demand (on-demand) [Default]: Automatically activated upon explicit user prompts or during complex multi-step reasoning.
  • ⚡ Always On (always-on): Global cognitive workspace injected into every turn context.
  • 🤖 Auto (auto): Autonomously triggered based on task complexity and code depth.
  • ⛔ Off (off): Completely disables the cognitive framework.

---

💬 Usage Examples

In DSH conversations or Taskboard AI drawer:

  • Implicit activation: In on-demand mode, the model automatically loads j-space when you ask for architecture refactoring, bug tracing, or theorem proving.
  • Explicit trigger:

> "Use the J-Space cognitive framework to plan and verify this database migration." > "Activate J-Space Dense Track to audit cross-file consistency for the auth module."

---

🌐 Internationalization (i18n)

The plugin UI card (client.js) features built-in automatic language detection (English / 中文), adapting automatically to your DSH locale and browser language without any configuration needed.
