dsh-context-imports
Inject the files referenced from AGENTS.md into model context at session start.
DeepSeek Harness injects AGENTS.md itself, but the @path references inside it stay as plain text and the model never sees them. This plugin expands those references the way Claude Code does: it reads each referenced file and adds the content to the session context.

Why
| Without this plugin | With it |
|---|
| AGENTS.md itself | Injected by the stock agent-instructions plugin | Still injected by it, no duplication |
@docs/architecture.md references | Plain text, ignored | Full file content in context |
| Nested imports | Nobody handles them | Expanded recursively, depth limited |
| After compaction | Referenced files are gone with the history | Re-injected automatically |
| Resumed sessions | May stack a second copy | Skipped when one is already present |
How it works
agent/session-start (startup / resume / clear / compact) records the scene
agent/pre-step (every step) decides whether to inject
├─ scan the instruction files (default AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md) for @path imports
│ ├─ fenced code blocks are skipped; the path must have a file extension
│ ├─ relative paths resolve against the importing file's directory
│ └─ duplicates collapse by resolved path, so import cycles are harmless
├─ merge the explicit files list (injected in full; instruction files are
│ scanned but never re-injected)
├─ budgets: 64 KB per file (truncated with a note), 128 KB total (skipped
│ with a note); a missing file becomes a one-line note instead of an error
├─ at most one injection stays in the active history: the full event log is
│ fingerprint-scanned, and compaction that removes the block re-enables it
└─ the bundle is appended to the end of the step messages, after AGENTS.md
and every other context injection
The injected message is a <system-reminder> containing <file path="..."> blocks and nothing else. Set template if you want your own framing around it.
Features
- Expands
@path imports recursively. Default depth is 3; import cycles and duplicates are collapsed.
- Follows the imports of every instruction file the harness loaded — including a project's AGENTS.md it picks up mid-session once the agent touches files under it.
- Triggers on new sessions, resume, clear, and after compaction. Each scene can be turned off.
- Never sends the same file twice: a file already in the model's context is left alone, and a newly loaded instruction file adds exactly its own imported files.
- Six-language settings card (zh, en, ja, fr, ru, ko) under Settings, Plugins, Plugin configuration. Every option is editable there and applies without a reload.
- Byte budgets per file and in total. Missing files are reported, never fatal.
- Uses the official API surface only: cordis events,
createUserMessage from dsh-llm, a schemastery config, and the optional dsh-settings namespace. No feature-plugin dependencies.
Configuration
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|
files | [] | Extra files to inject, relative to the session working directory or absolute |
scanImports | true | Scan AGENTS.md and the other instruction files for @imports |
instructionFiles | ["AGENTS.md", "CLAUDE.md"] | Files to scan. They are never re-injected themselves |
expandLoadedInstructions | true | Also follow the imports of the instruction files the harness itself loaded, including a project AGENTS.md it brought in mid-session |
maxDepth | 3 | How many levels of nested imports to follow |
maxFileBytes | 65536 | Per-file cap in bytes; larger files are truncated |
maxTotalBytes | 131072 | Total budget; files beyond it are skipped with a note |
injectOn | all four | Which session-start scenes trigger injection |
template | "" | Custom wrapper text. {{content}} marks where the files go; empty uses the plain wrapper |
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-context-imports
It works with no configuration: AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md are scanned and their imports injected. To build from source instead:
git clone https://github.com/ciskonc/dsh-context-imports.git
cd dsh-context-imports
npm install
DSH_CHECKOUT=<path-to-your-dsh-installation> npm run build
npm run build:client
Compatibility
| Plugin version | DeepSeek Harness | Notes |
|---|
| 0.3.1+ | ≥ 0.2.0-rc.1（0.3.1 tested on 0.2.1-rc.2 and 0.2.1-rc.3） | Current line. Adds expandLoadedInstructions: the imports of every instruction file the harness loaded are expanded, including a project AGENTS.md it brings in mid-session. Injection is incremental — a file already in the context is never sent twice. Needs the host's published instruction scopes (agent-instructions message source + agent.inbox.nextStep), so it targets DSH ≥ 0.2.0 |
| 0.3.0 | ≥ 0.2.0-rc.1（tested on 0.2.1-rc.2） | Same feature, but the inbox lookup read session.inbox instead of agent.inbox and therefore never fired — the step-batch path carried the feature on its own. Fixed in 0.3.1 |
| 0.2.3 | ≥ 0.1.7-rc.1（tested on 0.2.0-rc.1, 0.2.0-rc.2 and 0.2.1-rc.2） | Config access hardened: on DSH ≥ 0.2.0-rc.2 the volatile config projection no longer fills schema defaults, so every field is normalized at entry (0.2.2 could crash session creation or silently skip injection there). Note: on DSH ≥ 0.2.0-rc.2 install via dsh plugin add only — the loader verifies lockfile consistency, hand-copied node_modules are silently dropped |
| 0.2.0 – 0.2.2 | ≥ 0.1.7-rc.1（0.2.1 tested on 0.1.7-rc.2 and 0.2.0-rc.1; 0.2.2 tested on 0.2.0-rc.1） | 0.2.2 fixed re-injection after compaction and settings-page mounting, but on DSH ≥ 0.2.0-rc.2 it can crash session creation (injectOn.includes is not a function) or silently skip injection (cfg.files is not iterable) — upgrade to 0.2.3 |
| 0.1.x | 0.1.5-rc.1 – 0.1.5-rc.3（tested on 0.1.5-rc.2/rc.3） | Legacy line. Does not work on 0.1.7 — it waits on the removed settingsScope service and the removed agent/session-start event |
Each release note names the DSH version it was tested against.
