Why DSH Noema

DSH Noema connects DeepSeek Harness with Noema — a local-first, non-vector memory system for coding agents — so an Agent keeps durable knowledge across sessions instead of starting every conversation from zero.

🧠 Durable Recall Memories persist as inspectable Markdown files under NOEMA_ROOT (default ~/.agent-memory/). noema_recall loads relevant context at the start of a session; noema_search, noema_browse, noema_catalog, and noema_recall_graph cover lookup, exploration, and auditing.	📥 Import From Other Tools noema_import reads the memory files of ten other AI coding tools — Codex, Claude Code, opencode, Cursor, Grok, WorkBuddy, Antigravity, Trae, Qoder, Hermes — splits them into sections, and saves each as a durable memory. A content-keyed ledger deduplicates across runs and across tools that share files.
🛠️ Settings-Page Management The Noema Memory settings page configures the server command, memory root, budgets, idle/call timeouts, and the guidance section — and a Manage memories card searches, browses, adds, reviews, and deletes stored memories directly.	🩺 Keep-Alive The memory server stays up: idle timeout defaults to never, and a keep-alive loop restarts the noema-mcp child in the background when it crashes or exits, with a configurable check interval and restart backoff.
🔍 Smart Entity Extraction Noema's extraction engine combines jieba word segmentation with high-precision signals — English proper nouns, CJK names and technical terms, quoted topics, and repetition — with stopword and path filters, so the PageIndex topic catalog stays clean.	⚡ Hot Reload After the first boot, the plugin never needs a restart again: pnpm run build hot-reloads the host plugin through Cordis HMR, and ppnpm run build:client hot-swaps the browser bundle over the client-hmr SSE channel.

Install into DSH

dsh plugin --profile web add @zseven-w/dsh-noema@latest
dsh web

Or, for local development straight from the source tree:

dsh plugin --profile web add link:/path/to/dsh-noema
dsh web

The link: protocol symlinks the profile dependency to this repository, so rebuilds are visible immediately and Cordis HMR can watch the compiled output.

The plugin bundles the noema-mcp binary through per-platform optional npm packages. To build it yourself instead, run cargo build --release -p noema-mcp inside the bundled noema submodule, or point the Server command setting at any noema-mcp build.

Memory Tools

The model-facing tools mirror the Noema MCP surface:

Tool	What it does
noema_recall	Recall relevant memories for a query, with a token budget.
noema_search	Full-text search over stored memories.
noema_browse	Browse the PageIndex catalog for a topic or entity.
noema_catalog	Render the full memory catalog as markdown.
noema_recall_graph	Multi-hop recall through links and shared entities.
noema_neighbors	One graph hop from a memory.
noema_explain	Explain why a memory was or was not recalled.
noema_remember	Save a durable fact, decision, constraint, or preference.
noema_review_list	List pending review candidates.
noema_review_decide	Accept, reject, edit, or merge a candidate.
noema_forget	Tombstone or hard-delete a memory.
noema_policy_get / noema_policy_set	Read or update the write policy.
noema_status	Server and tenant status: counts, index health, storage root.
noema_import	Import memories from other AI coding tools.

Each tool returns a uniform envelope { ok, tool, text } where text carries the full server output.

Import memories from other tools

Source id	Global files	Workspace files
codex	~/.codex/AGENTS.md + the Codex memory pipeline: ~/.codex/memories/MEMORY.md, memory_summary.md, rollout_summaries/*.md, extensions/ad_hoc/notes/*.md (raw_memories.md skipped — it is the uncurated feed)	AGENTS.md, AGENTS.local.md

qoder	~/.qoder-cn/AGENTS.md, ~/.qoder-cn/rules/, the auto-memory roots ~/.qoder-cn/memory/ and ~/.qoder-cn/projects/*/memory/ (plus ~/.qoder variants)	AGENTS.md, AGENTS.local.md, .qoder/rules/
hermes	~/.hermes/memories/ (MEMORY.md + USER.md) and the global ~/.hermes/SOUL.md	.hermes.md, HERMES.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md

• The source argument selects one tool, or omit it to run every source enabled in settings.
• The path argument selects the workspace root for project-scoped files (defaults to the session workspace; workspace files only load when the Import workspace files setting is on).
• Imports are deduplicated through a ledger at $DSH_HOME/storages/dsh-noema-imports.json, keyed by file path + section content — when several tools share one project AGENTS.md, each section is imported exactly once. force: true re-imports everything.
• The settings page exposes per-source checkboxes, an import-on-startup toggle, a file-size cap, and an Import now button with a last-run summary.

Settings

Open Settings → Noema Memory:

Setting	Default	Meaning
Enable memory	on	Master switch for the noema_* tools.
Memory guidance	on	System-prompt section teaching memory usage.
Start server at boot	on	Spawn at DSH start instead of first use.
Auto-accept new memories	on	noema_remember persists immediately.
Server command	bundled	Bundled noema-mcp binary or a custom executable path/command.
Working directory	—	cwd for the server (needed for cargo run).
Memory root (NOEMA_ROOT)	—	Where memories are stored; empty = ~/.agent-memory.
Recall token budget	1200	Default budget_tokens for noema_recall.
Idle timeout (ms)	0	Stop the server after idle; 0 = never.
Keep alive	on	Restart the server in the background when it crashes or exits.
Keep-alive interval (ms)	5000	Minimum delay between background health checks.
Call timeout (ms)	30000	Per-tool-call deadline.
Restart delay (ms)	1000	Backoff between a stop/crash and the next start.

The status card shows server health with restart/stop actions, and the import section manages the nine memory sources.

Hot reload

DSH's HMR machinery is fully usable once the plugin has been loaded once:

• Host plugin — enable the Cordis HMR entry in the profile patch with its watch root pointed at this package's lib/ output, and keep the link: dependency. Run pnpm run build and the running DSH reloads the plugin entry automatically (the Noema server child is restarted by the reload) — no server restart.

  # ~/.dsh/profiles/<profile>/cordis.patch.yml
  - id: hmr
    disabled: false
    config:
      root:
        - /path/to/dsh-noema/lib
  

• Client bundle — ppnpm run build:client rewrites lib/client.js; the client-hmr node half stat-polls every graph bundle (default 500ms) and broadcasts a rebuilt frame over the /plugins/events SSE channel, and the browser hot-swaps the module without a page refresh.

• Settings — every change made on the Noema Memory settings page applies live through the settings service.

The one thing hot-reload cannot do is load a plugin that was never in the booted tree: the running composition neither watches the profile patch layer (the web app does not wire watchUserPatches) nor exposes a loader mutation API (the plugin inventory RPC is read-only). A fresh plugin therefore needs exactly one server restart, after which the loop above is fully hot.

Develop

pnpm install
pnpm run build     # host tsc + client tsdown bundle
pnpm test          # build + node --test tests/

The e2e test runs against noema/target/debug/noema-mcp when present (it is skipped otherwise).
