dsh-wsl-distro

Working across multiple WSL distributions on Windows often means juggling commands to answer simple questions: which distro am I in right now, what does its os-release say, and which instances are actually running? dsh-wsl-distro bundles those answers into a single structured distro_info endpoint, returning the active distribution name, key os-release fields, and a parsed wsl -l -v listing that clearly separates the default distribution from the current session state.

Part of the dsh-wsl-kit suite, the plugin is intentionally read-only. It does not create, destroy, or switch distributions—its sole job is to surface the metadata WSL users check most often into clean JSON that scripts and AI agents can consume without shell-parsing overhead. This makes it a natural fit for CI environment probes, automation pipelines, and any DeepSeek Harness workflow where the agent needs to know which Linux virtual machine and kernel version it is operating on.

It serves developers, DevOps engineers, and multi-distro WSL users who want a quick, reliable way to confirm system identity without typing wsl -l -v and /etc/os-release by hand every time. If you run Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, or Fedora side by side under Windows, this plugin keeps that context one call away.
