The DeepSeek Harness (DSH) ecosystem emphasizes pluginization and layering. When processing rigorously structured classical texts (such as the Zhouli), common challenges include difficult retrieval, unsupported citations, and a lack of structured interaction. The dsh-zhouli plugin provides a dedicated agent preset and retrieval tools for the Zhouli, aiming to make both the agent’s conversational process and its citation basis traceable to source coordinates.

Core Features

This plugin consists of two main parts: a preset that enforces the agent to act according to the institutional rules of the Zhouli, and a toolset providing full-text retrieval and collation capabilities.

  • Zhouli Mode (Preset): Provides an agent preset that enforces a three-stage session process. When taking on a task, the agent first performs “Opening · Establishing Officials and Dividing Duties”; at in-task checkpoints, it performs “In-Process · Citing the Codex” (eight self-check methods); at the end of the session, it performs “Closing · Year-End Assessment” and self-reports the “Six Assessments” (integrity with goodness, integrity with competence, integrity with reverence, integrity with uprightness, integrity with law, and integrity with discernment).
  • zhouli tools: Provides full-text retrieval capability for the Zhouli, supporting paragraph retrieval by coordinate, official-title research, paragraph listing, collation comparison, statistics, and more.
  • Data support: Includes two Kanripo copies for mutual collation and an index of official titles and quotas.

Installation and Enablement

Before installing, make sure pnpm is installed locally. The installation command is:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-zhouli

Or install from GitHub source:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:SCP-CN-1059/dsh-zhouli

After installation, the plugin is automatically added to that profile’s layer stack; no manual modification of composition is required. After completion, you can select the “Zhouli Mode” preset when creating a new session.

Tool Usage

The tool entry point is zhouli, with functionality distinguished by the action parameter.

Action Capability Requirements
search Full-text search, with Traditional Chinese preferred and Simplified Chinese as fallback query required; chapter, limit optional
para Retrieve one source paragraph by coordinate, showing Traditional and Simplified Chinese side by side coordinate required, in the form 1.1
zhiguan Research an official title’s quota and duties query is the official title; if omitted, list all
list List official titles in a chapter (or all chapters) chapter, limit optional
chapter List source paragraphs of a chapter chapter required; limit optional
jiaokan Check textual variants between the base text and the Zheng Xuan annotated edition coordinate or query or chapter; if all omitted, report counts by chapter
stats Report corpus size and source of the base text None

Examples:

# Retrieve paragraph by coordinate
zhouli(action:"para", coordinate:"1.1")

# Research an official title
zhouli(action:"zhiguan", query:"大宰")

# Full-text search
zhouli(action:"search", query:"六計", chapter:"天官冢宰")

Coordinate System

Every paragraph has a coordinate of the form chapter index.office index.

  • Chapter index: 1–6, corresponding to Tian Guan Zhuang Zai, Di Guan Si Tu, Chun Guan Zong Bo, Xia Guan Si Ma, Qiu Guan Si Kou, and Dong Guan Kao Gong Ji.
  • Office index: .0 is the chapter’s official roster (listing all official quotas); .1 and subsequent values are the duty clauses of individual offices.

The citation format is Zhouli · Tian Guan Zhuang Zai 1.1. For example, 1.1 refers to 〈Da Zai〉, and 1.0 refers to the Tian Guan official roster.
