dsh-anchored-standard

Anchor the first request. Unlock the full stack.

A two-phase agent preset for DeepSeek Harness: bootstrap DeepSeek V4 Pro with the Minimal-aligned prompt and two tools, then expose the complete Standard catalog after the first durable tool call or reply.

The one-line idea

V4 Pro's ability ceiling is high — but which reasoning strategy it uses is decided by what the first API request shows it. The community evaluation at xiaobright/modeltest measured:

Preset	First request sees	Full task sees	Project2 V4.1b (max)
Standard	25 tools + long prompt	25 tools	91 / 92
Minimal	1-line prompt + 2 tools	2 tools only	99 / 96 — but too narrow for real work
Anchored Standard	1-line prompt + 2 tools	all 25 tools	98 / 99

The gain comes from anchoring the first-turn trajectory — not from keeping the tool surface small forever. This preset keeps Minimal's brain and gives it Standard's hands.

How it works

sequenceDiagram
    participant U as User
    participant A as Agent loop
    participant M as DeepSeek V4 Pro

    U->>A: first message (new session)
    A->>M: request #1<br/>task-matched anchor persona<br/>tools: bash + read (± edit/write)
    Note over M: reasoning chain anchors on the task-matched scaffold
    M->>A: first tool/call
    Note over A: promotion signal (durable session event)
    A->>M: request #2<br/>same persona · all 25 Standard tools
    Note over M: full-capability work continues on the anchored trajectory

1. The session's first user message picks the anchor:

   Task	Persona	First-request tools
   spec — fix / maintain / debug	Minimal's exact prompt	bash + read + edit
   react — build / create from zero	hands-on doer prompt	bash + read + write
   weak — ambiguous	model self-picks (Pro: classify instruction)	bash + read

   glob/grep stay out of every bootstrap catalog — measured trajectory boundary for V4 Pro; edit/write are anchor-safe.

2. On request #1 the persona is the ONLY prompt section and runtime contexts are cleared — the cleanest possible opening.

3. After the session records its first durable tool/call, every later request sees the full Standard catalog; the chosen persona stays constant and the remaining sections (plan-mode etc.) return. Nothing is injected after turn one (measured: post-anchor guidance hurts Pro).

Mode and promotion state live in durable session events, so refresh and resume preserve them.

Install

Option A — installer bundle (recommended)

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Jungod1121/dsh-anchored-standard

Restart DeepSeek Harness. The bundle copies the preset into $DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/anchored-standard/ (idempotent — local edits are never overwritten), then create a blank session and select Anchored Standard (experimental). To make it the default preset for new sessions:

# $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml
agent-presets:
  default: anchored-standard

Option B — manual preset directory
