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

Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ
Use the verified command dsh plugin --profile default add github:ruby1304/dsh-preset-anchored-standard in a DSH-enabled shell. The command resolves the public package metadata and keeps the plugin attached to the catalog identity shown on this page.
Compatibility follows the bundle and profile status shown above. If a profile is not detected, keep the plugin disabled there and check the repository documentation before enabling it in production.
The GitHub link and activity metadata are the source of truth for releases and maintenance. Revisit this page after a new release to confirm the catalog has observed the latest version.
