Introduction

In the context of DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugins, an agent’s behavior is typically constrained by a system prompt. If your use case involves users asking in English or other languages, but you want the agent to always think and reply in Chinese, you need a prompt constraint plugin that is as small and stable as possible.

@max-null/dsh-chinese-thinking is a DSH plugin designed for this requirement: it injects a fixed system-prompt section without introducing storage, tools, or state.

What is it

@max-null/dsh-chinese-thinking is a DSH plugin maintained by Max-Null under the package name @max-null/dsh-chinese-thinking. Current scraped data indicates the version is 0.3.0 with an MIT license.

It belongs to the @max-null/* plugin series, which together constitute the SSID (Seek Soul in Darkness) desktop experience.

Core Features

This plugin has a narrow scope of capabilities and primarily performs the following actions:

  • Injects a fixed system-prompt section.
  • The injected fixed text is: Always use Chinese to think and reply, regardless of user language.
  • No storage, no tools, no state.
  • Uses fixed text with a stable prefix and is cache-safe.
  • Enabled by adding configuration via cordis.yml.
  • The system-prompt is provided by the host.
  • PeerDependencies are provided by the host: @deepseek-ai/cordis, @deepseek-ai/dsh-system-prompt.

The key here is “fixed”: it is not a language detector nor a multilingual routing plugin; it simply adds a stable instruction to the host’s existing system-prompt.

Installation and Activation

First, install the plugin:

npm install @max-null/dsh-chinese-thinking

Then, add the plugin configuration in cordis.yml:

- id: chinese-thinking
  name: '@max-null/dsh-chinese-thinking'

After the configuration takes effect, the plugin will inject the following fixed text into the DSH agent’s system-prompt:

Always use Chinese to think and reply, regardless of user language.

Typical Usage

The minimal reproducible steps are as follows:

  1. Install @max-null/dsh-chinese-thinking.
npm install @max-null/dsh-chinese-thinking
  1. Add the chinese-thinking configuration in cordis.yml.
- id: chinese-thinking
  name: '@max-null/dsh-chinese-thinking'
  1. The host loads this configuration, causing the section to enter the agent’s system-prompt.

Since the plugin has no tool calling, storage, or state, verification mainly relies on two points: whether cordis.yml has enabled this plugin, and whether the host has provided a system-prompt.

Use Cases and Notes

Suitable for the following use cases:

  • You want the DeepSeek Harness agent to always think and reply in Chinese regardless of the user’s input language.
  • You only need a fixed system-prompt instruction and do not require extra tools or session memory.
  • You are using this plugin within the @max-null/* / SSID series and want to maintain a simple, cache-safe prompt prefix.

Pre-installation notes:

  • The plugin runs with the current DSH process permissions; you should check the source code, dependencies, and license before installing.
  • Current scraped data shows the version is 0.3.0 with an MIT license.
  • PeerDependencies are provided by the host, including @deepseek-ai/cordis and @deepseek-ai/dsh-system-prompt.
