dsh-chinese-thinking
A DeepSeek Harness plugin that makes every agent — the main
session and every subagent — reason in Simplified Chinese and reply in Chinese.
It registers a language policy in the host's own system prompt, so it covers every workspace,
every new session, and every subagent without relying on a project AGENTS.md.
Honest limitation: a prompt is a soft constraint. It strongly steers the model, but it cannot
prove that every token of reasoning is Chinese. For a display-level guarantee, enable the
host's Reasoning translation plugin as a second layer.
What it injects
By default, at the end of the system prompt (after the deployment persona suffix):
## 语言要求（dsh-chinese-thinking）
- 内部推理（reasoning / thinking）一律使用简体中文书写，不要用英文思考。
- 面向用户的回复使用简体中文。
- 代码、命令、标识符、文件路径、报错原文保持原样，不要翻译。
- 引用英文资料时保留英文原文，并附中文说明。
Install
Client (Electron): Plugins → + Add plugin, paste dsh-chinese-thinking, install, then
Enable now.
CLI profile:
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-chinese-thinking
Configure
Set options in the profile's cordis.patch.yml:
- id: dsh-chinese-thinking
name: dsh-chinese-thinking
config:
enabled: true
reasoningLanguage: 简体中文
replyLanguage: 简体中文

| Option | Default | Meaning |
|---|
enabled | true | false loads the plugin but injects nothing |
reasoningLanguage | 简体中文 | Thinking language; any language name works |
replyLanguage | 简体中文 | Reply language; empty string leaves it alone |
keepVerbatim | true | Keep code, commands, paths, errors verbatim |
keepCitations | true | Keep English citations and add Chinese notes |
extra | '' | One extra custom bullet |
order | 10300 | Position in the system prompt (larger = later) |
Why not just AGENTS.md
A project AGENTS.md only applies inside that project, and a subagent or a fresh unrelated
session may never read it. This plugin registers a global system-prompt section, so it applies
everywhere; the two can coexist.
Self-test
npm run selftest
Drives the plugin with a fake Cordis context: default config registers one section,
enabled: false registers none, custom language and options render as expected.
Limitations
- Prompt-level soft constraint: the model may still slip into English, especially in long or
English-heavy sessions.
- It does not translate reasoning that already exists; use the host's Reasoning translation
plugin for that.
- Only runs while DeepSeek Harness is running.
