What it does

Minimal-anchored agent preset: request #1 keeps the real bash + str_replace_editor pair with auto-injected context stripped, then promotion unlocks the full Standard catalog and posts a one-shot background-jobs notice against sleep-polling habits.

Best for

  • Trajectory-evaluation sessions that require the official Minimal tool pair on request one and the full Standard catalog afterward.
  • Users testing whether a minimal bootstrap changes model behavior without permanently losing Standard capabilities.
  • Long-running sessions that benefit from a one-time reminder to use background jobs instead of foreground sleep polling.

Not ideal for

  • Workflows that need the full Standard tool catalog on the very first request.
  • Sessions that do not need trajectory anchoring or promotion behavior, where a normal preset is simpler.
  • Deployments far from the documented DSH `0.1.0-rc.5` compatibility target without their own compatibility validation.

README

dsh-preset-anchored-standard

An agent preset for DeepSeek Harness (dsh) that anchors a session’s first request on the official Minimal preset’s real tool pair — persistent bash + str_replace_editor, with auto-injected workspace/skill context stripped — then, after the first durable promotion signal (a tool call or the first assistant message), exposes the full Standard catalog from request #2 on.

Built for trajectory-evaluation runs that need the Minimal anchor at request #1 without giving up Standard capabilities for the rest of the session.

Why the promotion notice

The bootstrap anchor is behavioral, not just structural: a model that opens with only a shell keeps the habits the bootstrap bash description teaches — notably foreground sleep N + pgrep polling for long-running waits — even after the catalog silently expands. We observed a delegated session poll a benchmark with sleep 240 loops for ~90 minutes although job_output / job_list / job_kill were already in its catalog from request #2.

So the preset injects a one-shot user-role notice at the promotion step telling the model the full catalog is now active and that waits longer than ~2 minutes belong in background jobs (run_in_background: true + completion notices), not foreground polling. The notice fires only for sessions the process actually saw bootstrapping — a session resumed after promotion is not interrupted by it.

Install

As a bundle (recommended — the preset syncs into ~/.dsh/.agent-presets/ at boot):

dsh plugin --profile web add "github:ruby1304/dsh-preset-anchored-standard"

Manual:

git clone https://github.com/ruby1304/dsh-preset-anchored-standard.git
cd dsh-preset-anchored-standard
./install.sh        # copies presets/anchored-standard into ~/.dsh/.agent-presets/

Then pick Anchored Standard in the preset selector, or set it as the default in ~/.dsh/settings.yaml:

agent-presets:
  default: anchored-standard

Uninstall: ./uninstall.sh (or dsh plugin remove plus deleting the preset directory).

Configuration

All knobs live in the tool-bootstrap row of presets/anchored-standard/agent.cordis.yml:

Key Default Meaning
bootstrapTools [bash, str_replace_editor] Tool catalog exposed on request #1.
promoteOn either Promotion signal: tool-call, assistant-message, or either.
suppressedContextSources [agent-instructions, skill-catalog] Auto-injected context stripped while bootstrapping ([] disables the filter).
bootstrapMaxTokens unset Optional output cap for request #1; stripped explicitly after promotion.
promotionNotice built-in text One-shot notice at the promotion step: custom string, or false to disable.

Compatibility

Developed and tested against dsh 0.1.0-rc.5. The preset composes only shipped @deepseek-ai/dsh-* plugins plus its own local tool-bootstrap.mjs; no third-party dependencies.

Development

node tests/bootstrap-notice.test.mjs   # mock-waterfall test of the promotion-notice logic
