dsh-session-prompt

DSH assembles each session's system prompt from multiple ordered sections, and developers frequently need to slot a custom instruction block at the very top — say, a company security policy, a domain glossary, or a tone guideline — that is neither the built-in identity nor the role definition. DSH's native configuration surface does not expose that layer. dsh-session-prompt fills exactly that gap: it claims the first position in the prompt with order -200, ahead of the built-in identity (-100) and the role setup (0), and it applies to every session and every request.

Everything is managed from the web settings page under the Plugin configuration tab. A single card provides an enable toggle, a multi-line prompt editor, Save / Discard, and a Restore-defaults action. The prompt text is re-read at the moment each request is assembled, so a new save takes effect on the very next request with no process restart. The plugin also guards against a subtle failure mode: at save time it scans the text for complete {{…}} template groups and refuses to persist any that could make the system-prompt renderer throw, ensuring a malformed prompt can never break a request while leaving lone {{ sequences as harmless literal prose.

It is well suited to teams that run DSH with the web UI and want a single, low-maintenance lever for global top-of-prompt constraints without touching role templates; and to prompt engineers who iterate on wording and want to see the effect in the next turn — edit, save, and the following conversation already reflects the change, all without a terminal session or a service restart.
