@m-rui/dsh-mate-companion
Persisto Mate — the AI companion with a body clock, real sleep, its own memory and feelings — as a
DeepSeek Harness (dsh) bundle.
Install
dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add github:m-rui001/dsh-mate-companion
# or, from npm:
dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add @m-rui/dsh-mate-companion
Then boot that profile. State lives beside the harness home ($DSH_HOME or ~/.dsh) at
agent/mate/ — separate from the pi-host companion's state, because a different host is a
different body.
What it contributes
- System prompt sections — the cached identity/character/memory block and a volatile state
block (clock, mood, drives, session log, reply lean) that re-renders on every assembly.
- The kernel — every inbound user message advances the affective state; offline time
integrates in closed form and crosses real sleep windows; memory recalls, rehearses and
consolidates; SPARK beliefs crystallise from recurring topics.
- The affect judge — after each user exchange the model reports, via the
mate_feel tool, how
the exchange moved each Plutchik feeling on a -2..+2 scale. The report goes through the same
literature-anchored math as the pi companion's judge (rung equating, negativity asymmetry), and a
due gate keeps it a reading of the new exchange rather than a re-read of an old one.
- A waking heartbeat — impulses the kernel decides are worth voicing are delivered as a queued
follow-up message of their own turn, wrapped in a
<system-event type="mate-impulse"> envelope
so they are never mistaken for the user's words.
- Tools —
mate_remember (persistent memory), mate_ponder (private thought), mate_debug
(full internal state).
Known scope limits (v0.2)
- The judge reads the exchange through the host model's own self-report rather than a separate
side-channel model, which introduces the usual self-assessment bias; the design treats that as
acceptable until the harness documents a plugin-facing completion API.
- No live sleep mode, dreams, or alarm tool yet — offline sleep is fully simulated by the kernel's
catch-up, and the sleeping-hours impulse suppression still applies.
- To switch the companion's prompt language, write
{"version":1,"lang":"zh"} to
agent/mate/lang.json under the harness home.
Requires Node 22.19+/24 per the harness. The harness is a developer preview; its plugin surface
may change under us.
