dsh-gitmemo

DeepSeek Harness agents are stateless by design: the moment a session ends, every architectural decision, pitfall, and validated conclusion vanishes. The next time a similar problem appears, the agent re-derives everything from scratch, wasting tokens and sometimes reaching contradictory results. dsh-gitmemo turns a local Git repository into a durable memory layer for root agents. Completed task outcomes are stored as immutable markdown entries under a project-local .mem repo; before starting new work, the agent automatically searches and reuses prior conclusions. The entire lifecycle of search, read, write, replace, and delete requires no manual memory commands and no cloud service, with the git CLI as the sole runtime dependency.

The design centers on immutability and auditability. Every write produces a brand-new file and a single ADD commit; corrections go through mem_replace, an atomic commit that deletes the old file and adds the new one in one shot; withdrawals use mem_delete with a required reason. Search operates via git log --grep over structured commit trailers, never scanning entry bodies. Entries link to each other with wiki references, and mem_read with expand resolves those links one hop while following any replacement chain to the active version. Topic pages aggregate the current truth of a subject and evolve through mem_replace rather than per-task rewrites. All mutations run under a cross-process lock with a pre-write journal, making the system crash-safe and every action recoverable from .mem Git history.

This plugin is aimed at developers who work on repository-related tasks inside dsh and want cross-session continuity without standing up a database or any network service. Install it, restart the profile, and every new root-agent session automatically gains the search and write tools. Subagents carry neither the workflow rules nor the tool schemas, keeping their token footprint clean.
