What it does
DeepSeek Harness plugin: make the chain of thought open with We need instead of Let me
Works — verified, early-stage project
DeepSeek Harness plugin: make the chain of thought open with We need instead of Let me It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It's early-stage but functional.
“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.
README
dsh-weneedfirst
English | 中文
A DeepSeek Harness (DSH)
plugin that shapes the model's chain of thought. It registers a global
system-prompt section instructing the model to adopt a role that fits the
conversation, think in English, and open every reasoning block with
"We need".
There is no build step and no extra runtime state — the plugin contributes one
prompt section to the systemPrompt registry and does nothing else.
Install
# from GitHub (works immediately — no npm publish required)
dsh plugin --profile web add git+https://github.com/XiaoWind/dsh-weneedfirst.git
# or from npm, once published
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-weneedfirst
The dsh plugin command forwards to pnpm inside the web profile directory,
then reconciles the profile's dsh.profile.bundles layer list. Because this
package declares dsh.bundle.patch, it joins the layer stack automatically.
Restart the Web app after installing.
The plugin injects the
systemPromptservice, so it activates in every
profile that composes a system prompt — the shippedwebprofile does.
Update
dsh plugin --profile web update dsh-weneedfirst
Restart the Web app after updating — the bundle layer is composed at boot, so a
running Web process does not hot-reload an installed plugin.
Configuration
The opening phrase is configurable in your profile's cordis.patch.yml:
| Config | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
openingPhrase |
We need |
The phrase every chain-of-thought block must open with. |
# your profile's cordis.patch.yml
- id: we-need-first
config:
openingPhrase: "We need"
Development
# syntax check
node --check lib/index.js
The plugin is a single-file ESM Cordis function plugin (lib/index.js). It
exports apply, inject, and name, and the bundle layer cordis.patch.yml
inserts it into the profile composition.
