dsh-md-memory

dsh-md-memory

English | 简体中文

A small file memory plugin for DeepSeek Harness. The model writes what should persist as markdown under ~/.dsh/memory. Next session, the host injects it.

This is not a second brain. The community already has fuller memory plugins (auto-extract, vector search, settings dashboards). This one stays small: the disk holds files you can open in a text editor, and nothing is saved unless the model calls memory.

What it does

• Remembers preferences, corrections, and reusable lessons across sessions
• Three files: user.md (cross-project) / agent/MEMORY.md (hot rules) / agent/topics/*.md (on-demand topics)
• Project-only facts belong in the repo AGENTS.md, not here
• Subagents cannot write, so parallel tasks cannot scramble memory
• If you say things like “remember / from now on / don’t ever”, and nothing was stored this turn, the host nudges the model

What it does not do

• No automatic extraction from the chat
• No secret scanning (do not let the model write tokens here)
• No vector / full-text engine (search is a plain substring)
• No browser settings page

Do not install this next to another plugin that also registers a tool named memory.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:CuteSamurai24/dsh-md-memory

Then restart dsh web.

Uninstall:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-md-memory

Files stay in ~/.dsh/memory. Uninstalling the plugin does not delete them.

Where the files live

~/.dsh/memory/
  user.md              You, across projects: identity, tone, standing preferences
  agent/MEMORY.md      Hot rules for almost every session (keep this short)
  agent/topics/*.md    Topics, read when the description matches

On Windows that is C:\Users\<you>\.dsh\memory\. Open the files in Notepad to check, edit, or delete.

How the model writes

One tool, named memory:

Operation	Use
read / search / list	Read
append / edit / write	Write a layer
create / delete	Manage topics

Appending to user requires a one-sentence reason: why this still holds on a different project.

Caps: user 8KB, hot rules 12KB, one topic 20KB. Long material goes in a topic.

Turn it off

On by default. In ~/.dsh/settings.yaml:

md-memory:
  enabled: false

Later turns in this process stop injecting and stop offering the tool. Restarting dsh web is the simplest way.

Other memory plugins

DSH has no official long-term memory product. The community already has KV stores, auto-extract, persona files, and heavier “evolve” suites. This plugin only covers one narrow need: the model writes markdown, a human can open it.
