Preface

In DSH (DeepSeek Harness), a common request for personal accounting isn’t to put data in an external service, but to complete recording, querying, summarizing, budgeting, and exporting directly within the conversation. dsh-tally is a DeepSeek Harness personal accounting plugin designed for personal income and expense recording scenarios. It stores data in a local JSON file while maintaining zero dependencies and no network requests.
