dsh-cost

dsh-cost is a plugin designed for DeepSeek Harness to address the issue of missing evidence in token cost tracking. In AI applications, cost calculations based on incomplete data can lead to misleading totals, skewing budget decisions. dsh-cost solves this by analyzing persistent session logs, ensuring every cost is derived from actual assistant message usage records, thus eliminating any guesswork or fabrication.

The plugin's core capability lies in its evidence-first cost calculation approach. It automatically attributes usage records to specific request, header, provider, and model routes, then applies a user-defined price book for accurate computation. It offers two practical tools: dsh_cost_report for detailed cost reports and evidence completeness analysis, and dsh_cost_check for explicit budget check decisions. Users maintain full control over pricing, with no built-in vendor prices, ensuring flexibility and accuracy.

dsh-cost is ideal for administrators, development teams, and any user concerned with token expenditures in DeepSeek Harness. Whether you need to monitor daily costs, set budget thresholds, or ensure billing transparency, this plugin provides reliable support. It is particularly suited for cost-sensitive scenarios where precise management is critical, and avoiding misjudgments due to incomplete data is essential.
