Introduction
dsh-coding-kit
简体中文 | English
dsh-coding-kit@1.6.1 is a bundle plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH), shipping a P0 gate CLI and the G1–G7 process commands. The discipline assets remain ICVO (Inform · Constrain · Verify · Orchestrate).
Loading ≠ injecting. Installing or loading this plugin does not automatically rewrite the system prompt.
apply()only registers tools. Only after you or the model callsapply_coding_standardswill later turns' runtime context contain# Coding Standards.
Which entry to choose
| Who you are | Entry | Do NOT |
|---|---|---|
| DSH session / model calling tools | dsh plugin add dsh-coding-kit | Don't just npm install (without the bundle layer the tools won't appear) |
| Cursor / CI / daily gates on existing repos | npx dsh-coding-kit | Don't treat the plugin init_coding_kit and the CLI init as the same entry |
Both entries ship from the same npm package dsh-coding-kit@1.6.1. The plugin surface and the CLI surface do not replace each other.
The @deepseek-ai/cordis and @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools entries in peerDependencies are the DSH host plugin contract (needed only when the host loads this package as a plugin; not needed for CLI-only use), and are marked optional in peerDependenciesMeta.
Entry A · DSH plugin
Prefer npm (prebuilt, no allowBuilds needed):
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-coding-kit
Fallback: install from GitHub (needs a Node build; pnpm 10+ may require allowBuilds):
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Cyning12/dsh-coding-kit#main
Confirmation layer
dsh --profile web --dump-config
After a successful install, the profile's package.json will show the dsh-coding-kit dependency, and dsh.profile.bundles will contain the package name. Users generally don't need to hand-edit bundles; dsh plugin add maintains them.
Activation and invocation
- Start DSH with that profile (e.g.
dsh --profile web/dsh --profile web web). - Say in the conversation: Please apply the coding standards (or "write code per the coding-kit standards").
- The model should call the
apply_coding_standardstool. - On success, later turns' runtime context contains
# Coding Standards.
Optional parameters: profile=l1|l1+l2|full (default l1+l2); persist=false returns the body only in the current tool result.
Profile tier semantics:
| Tier | Content |
|---|---|
l1 | L1 standards + coding_wiki |
l1+l2 (default) | all standards + coding_wiki |
full | equivalent to l1+l2 in the current version; the enum value is reserved for future bundle extensions (differentiated injected content) |
Override root lookup rule (since 1.3.0): apply_coding_standards probes upward from the current working directory for .coding-kit and .dsh/coding-kit, stopping at the nearest ancestor directory containing .git (the git root) — so starting DSH from a monorepo subdirectory still hits the repo-root override, and directories above the git root are never picked up by mistake. Without .git, lookup continues to the filesystem root. The tool output's source=override|package and root= lines make the actual hit observable.
When injected content exceeds 24k characters it is truncated at file boundaries: the cut only falls between files, never injecting half a file; skipped files can be derived from the full set under root minus the tool output's files list, and truncated=true carries the truncation marker.
Initializing the project template (plugin surface)
Initialization goes through the init_coding_kit tool (not the CLI init).
Conversation: Please initialize the coding-kit templates into this project → the model calls init_coding_kit.
Then edit .coding-kit/ and call apply_coding_standards again (source=override). init_coding_kit never overwrites existing files.
Note (asymmetric read/write roots, made explicit in 1.3.0): the read side (apply_coding_standards) looks up to the git root; the write side (init_coding_kit) still writes into the current working directory. Call init_coding_kit from a repo-root conversation, to avoid initializing in a monorepo subdirectory while the read side hits the repo root.
Some IDEs / yaml-language-server treat the root cordis.patch.yml as an RFC6902 JSON Patch and report missing op / path / value. This is a false positive and can be ignored; the file must keep the - insert form — do not convert it to JSON Patch.
Entry B · CLI (Cursor / CI)
P0 gates and G1–G7 (delivered in 1.2.0):
npx dsh-coding-kit init [--preset NAME] [--yes] # NAME vocabulary: harness-only (the only legal value)
npx dsh-coding-kit upgrade --yes
npx dsh-coding-kit refresh-ide-blocks [--target PATH] [--dry-run] [--yes] [--json]
npx dsh-coding-kit check

npx dsh-coding-kit verify --spec <SPEC.md> # SPEC-to-00 review-existence gate (mutually exclusive with --task)
npx dsh-coding-kit gate-check --task <task.md>
npx dsh-coding-kit audit --task <task.md>

init / upgrade / sync index / skills build never overwrite the S2 process domain (docs/tasks/, reviews/, invokes/by-task/).
Since 1.6.1 the graph-facing behavior of graph yaml export / graph yaml check is corrected: ① export writes graph_id from the yaml-declared value (data.graph_id, e.g. 00_main) as the single source of truth into graphs/nodes/edges, no longer the path-namespaced id (e.g. l0/00_main) — path ids remain input-compat only (--graph-id / file discovery); ② check --all filters graph.json slices with the same declared-value source as export output, so kit-produced root graph.json and check mutually recognize each other; ③ export preserves edge labels for every mark type (?> / ~> / ::… / […]) — topology-protocol marks are carried as edge attributes instead of dropping the label text; ④ the Mermaid class block emitted by compile is driven by nodes[].kind (flow/struct/external → phase/doc/infra), with id-based inference kept as a fallback for nodes without kind. Exit codes are unchanged. Consumer note: consumers depending on the old export output (namespaced graph_id / dropped labels) must re-run graph yaml export.
check compares manifest.version against the package version three ways (up-to-date / upgradeable / higher). Since 1.5.2, when the manifest carries a non-null from_version (i.e. it was migrated from the old @cyning/harness product line), a "higher" comparison reports a cross-product-line migration (@cyning/harness X → dsh-coding-kit Y — version numbers are not comparable across product lines) and suggests npx dsh-coding-kit upgrade --yes, instead of a misleading "possible downgrade" warning; since 1.6.1 this criterion is narrowed so only a from_version in the old product line's vocabulary (the 2.x series) takes the migration wording — a kit-line (1.x) from_version and from_version: null both keep the original three-way wording. The exit code is unchanged (always 0).
refresh-ide-blocks (R-07 · literal refresh of stale commands in existing IDE blocks)
IDE blocks embedded by the wizard marker merge in the old @cyning/harness era (<!-- cyning-harness:begin --> … <!-- cyning-harness:end -->) may still hold stale command literals. refresh-ide-blocks performs whitelisted literal replacement only inside such product marker block bodies:
-
Dry-run by default: with no flag (or an explicit
--dry-run) it only scans + reports — zero writes, exit 0; only--yeswrites to disk. -
Discovery surface (frozen whitelist): repo-root
AGENTS.md,CLAUDE.md,.cursor/rules/*.mdc(single level). Files outside the discovery surface are not processed even if they contain markers. -
Mapping table (frozen · effective only inside block bodies):
Group Rule Behavior A1 npx @cyning/harness→npx dsh-coding-kitauto-replaced; subcommand and arguments preserved verbatim A2 npx @cyning/harness@<version>→npx dsh-coding-kitauto-replaced; the version pin is dropped entirely (report records dropped_pin) A3 npx --yes @cyning/harness[@<version>]→npx --yes dsh-coding-kitauto-replaced; --yeskept, pin droppedA4 bare-bin forms harness skills build/harness skills check→npx dsh-coding-kit skills build/npx dsh-coding-kit skills checkauto-replaced (re-run guard when the line prefix already contains npx dsh-coding-kit)B1–B5 CYNING_HARNESS/--with-scripts/wizard/paths /harness:<name>script names / other bare@cyning/harnessreferencesreported as "manual only", never replaced -
Discipline: marker lines and out-of-block content stay byte-untouched;
<!-- cyning-harness-local:begin -->blocks are never rewritten;docs/tasks/,docs/harness/reviews/,docs/harness/invokes/by-task/(S2) are always write-refused. -
preflight (--yes-only fail-fast, exit 2, zero writes): a dirty git tree / mixed old-and-new literals in one file (MIXED) / malformed marker pairing (MALFORMED) / any S2 assertion gate hit → refuse to write. The dirty-tree check follows
git status --porcelainsemantics — untracked files count as dirty, so commit orgit stash -ubefore--yes. -
Backup and rollback: before
--yeswrites, the original bytes are backed up to.cyning-harness/backups/refresh-ide-blocks/<UTCts>/(keeping the latest 5 generations); for rollback prefergit checkout -- <path>, or copy back from the backup in non-git repos. Backups are for local rollback only — consumers should add.cyning-harness/backups/to.gitignore(do not commit them). -
Marker-less files (report-only, never rewritten): discovery-surface files with 0 product blocks are scanned read-only with the same A/B rule set; hits appear in a "无 marker 检出(仅报告,不刷写)" human-report section and in the top-level
plain_mentions: [{path, rule, count}]JSON field (schema stays@1— additive, backward-compatible). They never trigger the preflight fail-fast and never change the exit code. -
Idempotent: re-running on already-refreshed files yields 0 group-A hits,
files_written=0, unchanged bytes, exit 0. -
--jsonprints a single-line machine report (schemadsh-coding-kit/refresh-ide-blocks-report@1; since 1.5.2 it additively includesplain_mentions/totals.plain_mentions).
D5 test-artifact detection boundary (audit / verify · test_strategy=required)
When a task declares test_strategy=required, audit / verify run the D5 hard check: the target repo must contain real test artifacts, otherwise exit 2. D5 is artifact detection — it does not execute test commands. Detection scope (tightened in 1.3.0):
Strong-signal probes (presence = PASS)
- Directories:
test/tests/spec/specs/__tests__/ - Config files:
jest.config.{js,ts}vitest.config.{js,ts}playwright.config.{js,ts}cypress.config.jspytest.ini - Test file names (within 3 levels of the repo root):
*.(test|spec).(js|ts|mjs|cjs),*_test.py,test_*.py
CI detection: every *.yml|*.yaml under .github/workflows/ is read as text; CI counts as having tests only if it hits one of these test-step patterns: pytest vitest jest npm (run )?test pnpm (run )?test yarn test node --test go test cargo test tox unittest, or a step name: containing test.
Known false positives and the escape hatch
pyproject.toml/setup.pyare no longer treated as test artifacts (every modern Python repo has them, regardless of whether tests exist).- Pure lint / pure deploy workflows (no test step) no longer pass.
- Detection depth is 3 levels from the repo root; for deeper monorepo layouts or custom test commands (e.g.
make test) that miss the whitelist, drop any strong-signal file into the repo (e.g. atests/directory,*_test.py). - WARN transition hardened (1.5.0): the transitional branch from 1.3.0–1.4.0 — "new detection fails but the old heuristic passes →
D5: WARN transitionexit 0, non-blocking" — has been removed; since 1.5.0 that situation is always a FAIL (verify BLOCKED / audit FAIL, exit 2). Before upgrading, add real test artifacts to the repo (e.g.tests/,*_test.py,*.test.ts, or CI with a test step).
Migrating from @cyning/harness
After pinning dsh-coding-kit@1.6.1 you can drop @cyning/harness. Minimal path, three steps (required, in order):
- Replace the
devDependency@cyning/harnesswithdsh-coding-kit(pin1.6.1). - Run
npx dsh-coding-kit upgrade --yesat the repo root (reads the old.cyning-harness/manifest.json;versionpinned at 1.6.1,from_versionrecords the old number). - In CI / scripts, replace
npx @cyning/harnesswithnpx dsh-coding-kit.
Skill installation is recommended, not required (the minimal path does not depend on DSH scanning skills). Commands are always npx dsh-coding-kit.
FAQ · pnpm peer
If pnpm install still fails on the peer chain (e.g. resolving to an unpublished host package): set auto-install-peers=false at the repo root (or one-shot pnpm add -D dsh-coding-kit --config.auto-install-peers=false). Even though 1.2.2 already marked cordis / dsh-tools as optional, keeping this fallback is recommended.
Copy-paste Prompt (for agents maintaining existing repos)
Paste the whole block:
You = the maintenance agent of this repository. Migrate this repo from @cyning/harness to dsh-coding-kit@1.6.1.
Minimal path (required, in order):
1. package.json devDependency: delete @cyning/harness, replace with dsh-coding-kit (pinned at 1.6.1).
2. Run at the repo root: npx dsh-coding-kit upgrade --yes
(reads the old .cyning-harness/manifest.json; version pinned at 1.6.1, from_version records the old number; never overwrites docs/tasks, reviews, invokes/by-task.)
3. Replace every npx @cyning/harness in CI and scripts with npx dsh-coding-kit.
Commands are always npx dsh-coding-kit. Never write npx @cyning/harness skills build again.
Recommended (not required · skill installation):
- In-repo: npx dsh-coding-kit skills install
Copies the pre-generated skills from the npm package (excluding 30/40 by default) into this repo's .dsh/skills. Existing files are not overwritten by default; add --force to overwrite.
- User-level: npx dsh-coding-kit skills install --global
Writes to $HOME/.dsh/skills (HOME is expanded; do not treat ~ as a relative path).
Path reference (never mix them up):
- .dsh/skills or $HOME/.dsh/skills = skill installation target (this command).
- .claude/skills or ~/.claude/skills = Claude Code's skill directory (this command does not write there by default; if you use Claude, copy separately or use --out).
- .dsh/coding-kit or .coding-kit = standards override (apply_coding_standards / init_coding_kit), NOT a skill directory.
Verified (against DSH upstream source): the DSH runtime automatically scans this repo's .dsh/skills and $HOME/.dsh/skills and loads them on demand. A skill is a <name>/SKILL.md directory package or a flat <name>.md file; frontmatter must include name/description; evidence anchors are in the README "Scan verification" section.
Do NOT: GitHub Archive; npm publish / deprecate; make apply auto-inject at load time; install 30/40 by default; copy skills into .dsh/coding-kit.
Path reference
| Path | Purpose | Written by |
|---|---|---|
Product package assets/skills | source of truth for generated artifacts; the comparison root of skills check | maintainer skills build (G5 freeze) |
<repo>/.dsh/skills | consumer skill installation target | skills install |
$HOME/.dsh/skills | user-level installation target | skills install --global |
<repo>/.claude/skills or ~/.claude/skills | Claude Code skill directory | user copies separately or uses --out; not written by default |
<repo>/.dsh/coding-kit or .coding-kit | standards override (standards / wiki) | init_coding_kit; forbidden as a skill dest |
Scan verification (checked against DSH upstream source)
Verified (2026-08-22 · against DSH upstream source deepseek-harness@141eb6f, i.e. dsh 0.1.0-rc.8): the DSH runtime automatically scans <repo>/.dsh/skills and $HOME/.dsh/skills and loads them on demand — these are exactly the two installation targets of this package's skills install. Evidence anchors:
packages/skill/skill-filesystem/src/index.ts:246— scans<projectRoot>/.dsh/skills(source=project-dsh, rank 100); same file:253— scans<dshHome>/skills($DSH_HOMEor~/.dsh, source=user-dsh, rank 400).docs/subsystems/skills.md"Local discovery priority" table says the same (the rank 100/400 rows); loading mechanism: skill summaries are injected into the session catalog, and the model pulls the full body on demand via theskill({ name })tool (the "Session catalog and tool contract" section of that document).
Structure and frontmatter requirements (same source): directory package <name>/SKILL.md or flat <name>.md (index.ts:724-728); frontmatter must include name/description, and name must be kebab-case (index.ts:810-816); projectRoot = the nearest ancestor directory containing .git (index.ts:937-947).
Note: scanning/loading is a behavioral contract of the DSH runtime and evolves with upstream versions; the anchors above correspond to 0.1.0-rc.8. This package's responsibility ends at writing skills to the correct target and keeping frontmatter valid (skills check).
