@dsh-pi/prompt
pi-style system prompt for DeepSeek Harness (dsh), aka dsh-pi.
Transplants pi's prompt philosophy into dsh as a Cordis plugin bundle:
- complete mode — the model sees only this section as its system prompt (dsh's default identity / tool-guidance text is replaced)
- pi-style persona —

- tool one-liners —
Available tools: list in pi's format
- guidelines — concise responses, clear file paths, small precise changes, verify with tests
- cwd line — injected as a dynamic PromptContext
Zero dependencies: the plugin only uses ctx.systemPrompt, which ships in the @deepseek-ai/dsh-base bundle.
Install into a profile
# from anywhere, with dsh on PATH:
dsh plugin --profile web add file:/abs/path/to/dsh-pi-prompt # or an npm/git spec
Then register the bundle in the profile's manifest:
# edit ~/.dsh/profiles/<name>/package.json:
# "dsh": { "profile": { "bundles": [ "@deepseek-ai/dsh-base", "@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app", "@dsh-pi/prompt" ] } }
Restart the profile: dsh web (or dsh --profile <name>). Done — the system prompt is now pi-style.
dsh plugin --profile <name> add <pkg> forwards pnpm add into the profile
directory (~/.dsh/profiles/<name>), so the bare package name resolves from
the profile's node_modules. Any other profile or machine repeats the two
steps above; sessions/config stay per-profile.
Configure
The bundle's patch inserts row id dsh-pi-prompt. Override it from a higher
patch layer (e.g. the profile's own cordis.patch.yml):
- id: dsh-pi-prompt
config:
complete: true # default; false keeps dsh's other prompt sections
persona: "Your custom persona text" # override the whole persona
includeCwd: false # drop the "Current working directory" line
Patch files are HMR'd — changes apply without a restart.
Publish
npm publish --access public # from this directory
# then on any machine: dsh plugin --profile web add @dsh-pi/prompt
