dsh-workspace-hygiene

Long-running agent tasks leave behind a growing pile of logs, failed patches, scratch exports, and intermediate results. These files do not directly consume tokens, but when an agent repeatedly runs glob, grep, and directory reads to reconstruct earlier results, redundant artifacts amplify the search space, multiply tool calls, and inject irrelevant content into context, driving up token costs and degrading reasoning quality. dsh-workspace-hygiene is designed to break that causal chain.

The plugin treats the workspace as an evolving information space and continuously asks whether each file still has value, where it should live, and what it should be called. It classifies files into core materials, final deliverables, reusable intermediates, temporary records, and redundant artifacts. Value assessment is deliberately separated from action: it recommends keeping valuable files with naming and directory suggestions, recommends removing files with no further purpose, and defers uncertain items for user review. In dsh web, it adds a dedicated Workspace tab after Trajectory, with a directory tree, category labels, and cleanliness score on the left, and an independent hygiene-Agent conversation panel on the right. Both manual and automatic organization modes are supported, with full review and rollback.

If you run long, multi-agent tasks in DeepSeek Harness and struggle with cluttered workspaces, rising token overhead from redundant files, or difficulty for both people and agents to understand what has been produced, this plugin is worth exploring.
