About this plugin
When you use DeepSeek Harness to work through your codebase or look up internal APIs, a quiet concern lingers: the agent might fabricate details, or grab a stale web result that does not match your actual project. dsh-ref-lib takes a straightforward approach. You register local directories (project source, internal docs, API specs) as a read-only reference library, and the agent is required to consult those directories before answering. Only when the answer cannot be found locally may it fall back to external sources, and it must say so explicitly. Every response now has a traceable ground truth.
Each session owns its own set of reference libraries in isolation; forked sessions inherit a snapshot from the parent at creation and then evolve independently. Adding a directory can be done through the in-app browser, the OS-native picker, or by pasting a path. An optional one-line note on each library helps the agent route the current question to the right source. Cross-session import provides item-by-item conflict comparison so nothing is overwritten blindly. The reference directories are strictly read-only for the agent: the sandbox enforces this at the process level, and the injected context adds a second soft constraint for a two-layer guarantee.
If you maintain multiple codebases, internal wikis, or API specifications and want every agent answer anchored in material you actually own rather than a plausible-sounding invention, dsh-ref-lib is the plugin that makes the agent open the book before it speaks.
Use Cases
- Make the agent consult your source tree before answering code questions
- Ground Q&A in internal wikis or API specs instead of generic web results
- Reuse and independently evolve a shared set of reference libraries across sessions
Best For
- Solo developers maintaining multiple codebases
- Small teams that rely on internal docs for daily Q&A
- Engineering leads who want traceable, non-hallucinated AI output
