MIT-licensed DSH preset that trades orchestration features for a fast, direct coding loop — capped search and reads, timeouts promoted to background jobs, and a master-engineer persona that stays conservative on `npm publish`.

01What can it help you accomplish?
Run a fast, low-overhead coding loop in a DeepSeek Harness session
A session on the `awesome` preset with file editing, fast directory search, full bash, background jobs and skill packs — and without `present` delivery, goals, complex plan modes, sub-agents or TODO trackers
dsh users doing day-to-day coding who want fewer orchestration layers and shorter turns
Keep long commands and large files from stalling a session
Timed-out foreground commands promoted to background jobs, glob/grep capped at 50 entries and reads capped at 800 lines / 600 chars per line / 120KB
Developers who let the agent run builds, tests and repo-wide greps
Stop the agent from taking irreversible release steps
A master-engineer persona that acts concurrently on code but treats `npm publish` conservatively: no version mutation, no retry of an in-flight publish because of registry lag or a 404
Teams that let an agent run publish or deploy commands
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- A DeepSeek Harness (`dsh`) install — the preset is added to a dsh profile (the README uses `--profile web`)
- git only for the optional local clone-and-link workflow
Installation steps
- 01
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-awesome-preset` to install from npm, or `dsh plugin --profile web add github:Jaylor-Wang/dsh-awesome-preset` to install straight from GitHub
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-awesome-preset
- 02
For local development, clone the repo and run `dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-awesome-preset`
$ dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-awesome-preset
- 03
Restart or start DeepSeek Harness (`dsh web`) to load the Cordis patch
$ dsh web
- 04
Open a session and select `awesome` from the agent preset dropdown above the prompt input bar
Verify the integration
- Run `dsh plugin --profile web list` — the README's verification step
03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Native DSH agent preset: `dsh plugin add` puts it in a profile and it shows up as `awesome` in the session's agent preset dropdown
Lean tool surface
a dsh session→`fs`, `fs-search`, `tool-bash`, `tool-jobs`, `skill-filesystem`/`tool-skill` and `compaction` — nothing else
the removed tools are simply unavailable in this presetTuned fs and search caps
glob patterns, grep queries, file reads→≤ 50 glob entries, ≤ 50 grep matches (≤ 500 bytes/line preview), reads up to 800 lines / 600 chars per line / 120KB
oversized glob/grep output goes to spill files instead of the context windowResilient bash and background jobs
shell commands→background job support, `promoteOnTimeout: true`, 120s/600s timeouts with a 3s termination grace
a timed-out foreground command keeps running as a background jobthe bash sandbox is enabled and the conflicting `pwsh-sandbox` is disabledMaster-engineer persona with operation boundaries
the coding task in the session→direct concurrent action on code, with irreversible operations isolated behind a stricter rule set
`npm publish` is held to a strictly conservative rule setAgent preset selection
a dsh Web session→the `awesome` preset chosen from the dropdown above the prompt bar
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- dsh users doing day-to-day coding who want fewer orchestration layers and shorter turns
- Developers who let the agent run builds, tests and repo-wide greps
- Teams that let an agent run publish or deploy commands
Not for
- Installing is not enough: restart `dsh web` so the Cordis patch loads, then create a session with `awesome` selected in the agent preset dropdown — otherwise the preset is not in play.
- The preset drops `present` file delivery, goals, complex plan modes, sub-agents and TODO trackers, so any workflow that depends on them needs a different preset.
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- Installing is not enough: restart `dsh web` so the Cordis patch loads, then create a session with `awesome` selected in the agent preset dropdown — otherwise the preset is not in play.
- The preset drops `present` file delivery, goals, complex plan modes, sub-agents and TODO trackers, so any workflow that depends on them needs a different preset.
- The executor tuning targets bash: it enables the Bash sandbox, disables the conflicting `pwsh-sandbox` and ships Windows adaptation, with 120s/600s timeouts and a 3s termination grace.
- The persona never mutates versions and never retries an in-flight publish on registry validation lag or a 404, so version bumps stay a manual decision.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install dsh-awesome-preset into DeepSeek Harness?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-awesome-preset` for the npm release, or `dsh plugin --profile web add github:Jaylor-Wang/dsh-awesome-preset` to install straight from GitHub; a local clone is linked with `dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-awesome-preset`. Confirm it landed with `dsh plugin --profile web list`.
How do I actually use the preset in a session?
Restart or start `dsh web` so the Cordis patch loads, then open a session in the Web UI and select `awesome` from the agent preset dropdown list above the prompt input bar. Nothing changes for sessions that keep another preset selected.
What does the preset take away compared with the default agent?
It removes the heavy orchestration layers: the `present` file-delivery tool, goals, complex plan modes, sub-agents and TODO trackers. Workflows that rely on plan mode or sub-agents have to run on a different preset.
What happens when a bash command times out?
`tool-bash` enables background job support and sets `promoteOnTimeout: true`, so a timed-out foreground command is promoted to a background job instead of killing the task or hanging the UI. The built-in `bash-sandbox` tuning uses 120s/600s timeouts with a 3s termination grace.
Does the preset change how the agent publishes packages?
Yes. The persona is instructed to treat `npm publish` strictly conservatively: never mutate versions, and never retry an in-flight publish because of registry validation lag or a 404.
