Recommended — verified working and popular
Imports history messages from Claude Code, Codex, Reasonix and other agent tools to continue the conversation in DSH. It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. With 202+ stars it's a community-endorsed, low-risk pick.
“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.

These screenshots also use the author's other theme plugin, DSH Claude Style: it recreates the look and feel of Claude Code Desktop inside DSH. If the default theme is not quite your taste, give it a try.
- Import via Agent tool calls
# Example call formats
import_chat({ format: "claude", path: "~/.claude/projects" })
import_chat({ format: "chatgpt", path: "~/Downloads/chatgpt-export/conversations.json" })
import_chat({ format: "local-jsonl", path: "D:\downloads\session.jsonl" })
Configuration
For TUI compatibility, plugin-provided tools are injected into context by default. You can configure the import tools in Settings to not inject into context or inject partially, which saves a significant amount of tokens.
For full tool / command usage, see docs/USAGE.md.

When to use it
Give the agent a memory, a knowledge base, or a retrieval layer so it stops forgetting context between sessions.
Who it's for
Users running long projects who want the agent to remember decisions, docs, and preferences without re-explaining.
For developers — extending it
The memory/retrieval backend is the seam — plug a new store, tune what gets distilled, or add citation and audit trails.
