dsh-anchored-standard: A Two-Phase Agent Preset for DeepSeek Harness, Anchoring the First Turn Then Unlocking Full Tools
jungod1121/dsh-anchored-standard
Two-phase DSH plugin preset: minimal bootstrap on first turn, then full Standard tools, balancing reasoning quality and capability.
This DSH plugin lets DeepSeek V4 Pro see only a Minimal-aligned prompt and a few tools on the first request, anchoring its reasoning trajectory, then automatically unlocks all 25 Standard tools for full capability.

dsh-anchored-standard Repo Summary
dsh-anchored-standard is a DeepSeek Harness (DSH) agent preset plugin (DSH plugin) maintained by Jungod1121, licensed under MIT, and last updated in 2026-08. It addresses a critical issue: DeepSeek V4 Pro's capability ceiling is high, but the reasoning strategy it adopts is determined by what the first API request shows it. Community evaluations (xiaobright/modeltest) show that the Minimal preset achieves high scores but is too narrow for real work, while the Standard preset offers full tools but suffers from a long initial prompt. This plugin employs a two-phase strategy: the first request exposes only the Minimal-aligned prompt and two tools (bash and read, optionally edit or write depending on the task), and after the session records its first durable tool call, it unlocks the full 25 Standard tools while keeping the persona constant. This anchors the first-turn trajectory while retaining full capability, achieving 98/99 on Project2 V4.1b.
How does the dsh-anchored-standard DSH plugin choose the first-turn anchor persona?
The plugin automatically selects an anchor persona based on the session's first user message: for spec tasks (fix/maintain/debug), it uses Minimal's exact prompt with tools bash, read, and edit; for react tasks (build from scratch), it uses a hands-on doer prompt with bash, read, and write; for weak tasks (ambiguous), the model self-classifies with only bash and read. glob and grep are deliberately excluded from every bootstrap catalog, as measured trajectory boundaries for V4 Pro. On request #1, the persona is the only prompt section and runtime contexts are cleared, ensuring the cleanest possible opening.
How do I install dsh-anchored-standard and set it as the default preset?
Installation is recommended via the official bundle command:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:jungod1121/dsh-anchored-standard
After restarting DeepSeek Harness, the plugin copies the preset into $DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/anchored-standard/ (idempotent, never overwriting local edits), then create a blank session and select Anchored Standard (experimental). To make it the default for new sessions, configure $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml:
agent-presets:
default: anchored-standard
How does dsh-anchored-standard handle promotion and state persistence?
Mode and promotion state live in durable session events, so refresh and resume preserve them. The promotion signal is the session's first durable tool call; after that, every later request sees the full Standard catalog while the persona stays constant, and the remaining sections (plan-mode, etc.) return. Measured results show that post-anchor guidance hurts Pro, so nothing is injected after turn one.
Which DeepSeek Harness versions and platforms does dsh-anchored-standard support?
