01What can it help you accomplish?
Write and compile LaTeX papers inside DeepSeek Harness
Overleaf-style LaTeX studio: edit → compile → PDF preview, one-click AI fix; figures upload/organize/insert into the paper
Researchers who draft papers in LaTeX and want agent-assisted writing, compiling and previewing without leaving dsh
Track literature across arXiv and the web
arXiv + web search with AI relevance scoring, fullscreen PDF reader, per-project literature
Researchers managing references, related work and citation audits
Turn experiments, meetings and progress into deliverables
Metric charts → one-click paper figures; one-click group-meeting PPT from real paper figures; GPU fleet probes + remote jobs; growth-record timeline + one-click progress report
Lab groups and research teams that track experiments and produce group decks and progress reports
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- Node.js ≥ 22 (README prerequisites)
- The official dsh CLI — install via `npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh`
- A `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` for agent sessions
- Optional: a LaTeX engine (`brew install tectonic`) for paper compilation, a SearXNG server via `bash scripts/setup-web-search.sh` for web search, and Zotero API keys (`zotero.apiKey` / `zotero.userId`)
Installation steps
- 01
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mimir@latest` — installs and self-activates
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mimir@latest
- 02
Run `dsh web`, then open http://127.0.0.1:3080
$ dsh web
- 03
Click **Mimir** in the sidebar footer
- 04
If an old version was installed (e.g. 0.11.x/0.12.x), pin it: `dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-mimir && dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mimir@0.14.1`
$ dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-mimir && dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mimir@0.14.1

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Native plugin via the official dsh CLI: `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mimir@latest` installs and self-activates the bundle, then `dsh web` opens the eight-view workbench at http://127.0.0.1:3080
Eight-view web workbench
sidebar toggle → overlay, dark/light, 中/EN→Overview (pipeline & stats) · Paper (LaTeX studio) · Library · Experiments · Figures · Meetings · Servers · Ledger
Agent tools & slash commands
natural-language instructions in dsh sessions→`/research-idea` `/research-plan` `/research-review` `/paper-write` `/paper-compile`, plus `arxiv_search`, `web_search`, `wiki_note`, `figure_save`, `latex_compile`, `meeting_deck`
Nine bundled research skills
none — skills ship with the package→literature review, novelty check, experiment planning, citation audit, rebuttal workflows — no setup needed

04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- Researchers who draft papers in LaTeX and want agent-assisted writing, compiling and previewing without leaving dsh
- Researchers managing references, related work and citation audits
- Lab groups and research teams that track experiments and produce group decks and progress reports
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- Node.js ≥ 22 and the official dsh CLI are required; the bundle runs inside dsh's plugin store, so it only works where dsh itself runs.
- LaTeX compilation needs a LaTeX engine — `brew install tectonic` is recommended, or point `latex.engine` at an absolute path; the first tectonic compile downloads packages and may need `latex.timeoutMs` raised.
- arXiv search can fail behind a proxy — export `HTTPS_PROXY` before starting dsh; web search requires a SearXNG server (via `bash scripts/setup-web-search.sh` or `sxng init`) and a dsh restart.
- dsh's plugin store uses pnpm, which holds back freshly published releases by default — pin the exact version (e.g. `dsh-mimir@0.14.1`) if an old one was installed.
- dsh resolves plugin names from the profile directory — install with `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mimir@latest`, not from your cwd.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install Mimir into DeepSeek Harness?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mimir@latest` — it installs and self-activates — then run `dsh web` and open http://127.0.0.1:3080, and click **Mimir** in the sidebar footer. Prerequisites are Node.js ≥ 22, the dsh CLI and a `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` for agent sessions.
How does Mimir integrate with DSH?
Mimir is a single npm package (`dsh-mimir`) that plugs into dsh as a native bundle (`self-activating dsh.bundle`), built on the DeepSeek Harness plugin platform. Agent sessions get slash commands (`/research-idea`, `/paper-write`, …) and agent tools (`arxiv_search`, `latex_compile`, `meeting_deck`, …).
What do I need for paper compilation and web search?
Paper compilation needs a LaTeX engine — `brew install tectonic` is easiest, or set `latex.engine` to a binary path. Web search ships with the sxng CLI: run `bash scripts/setup-web-search.sh` for a local SearXNG, or `sxng init` against your own instance, then restart dsh.
Where are my research files stored?
The wiki persists at `~/.dsh/storages/research_wiki.json`; artifacts land under `./.research` (configurable via `workspaceDir`). Scheduled wiki snapshots are controlled by `backup.enabled` / `intervalMinutes` / `keep`.
Why did I get an old version, and how do I fix it?
dsh's plugin store uses pnpm, which holds back freshly published releases by default. Pin the exact version: `dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-mimir && dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mimir@0.14.1`.
