dsh-minimal-anchor

Every fresh DeepSeek Harness session hands the model the full configured toolset on message one — file edits, bash, subagents, jobs — even when the user simply asks to take a look at this repo and see what is going on. That flood of tool-schema descriptions crowds the context window and nudges the model toward premature action instead of quiet exploration. dsh-minimal-anchor addresses exactly this first-turn overload.

It is a fully passive plugin: nothing to invoke, no commands to run. It hooks the Harness system-prompt assembly pipeline and, on the very first assembly for each new scope, does two things. It trims the tool list down to a configurable whitelist (default: read, glob, grep) and prepends a short structural preamble that frames the session as exploration-first. From the second turn onward, every subsequent assembly passes through completely untouched, and the full toolset is automatically restored.

It is well suited for dsh users who typically boot a session with a single natural-language prompt and want the model to spend its first turn reading and orienting rather than reaching for bash or file-edit tools. Install it and every new session gets a calmer, more focused first turn at zero ongoing cost.
