Expert-mode agent preset for DeepSeek Harness (v0.9.2, npm dsh-expert-mode, bilingual EN/ZH): a chief coordinator plus 17 domain-expert subagents with automatic task delegation. Features: taskboard scheduler (file-system task state machine pending/ready/running/done/failed, dependency DAG, atomic claim, retry, crash recovery), quality gates (5-stage pipeline for high-risk tasks: requirement clarity, implementation, verification, independent review, integration, with 2-round rework limit), Five-Anchor constraint (review/convergence/anti-drift/collaboration-check/resource-awareness per turn), Near-distance Guidance (identity/task/output template per expert), progressive disclosure (~28% token savings), expert persistence, inter-expert file message bus (direct P2P comm, zero coordinator relay), cross review, experience pool, fast-track for simple tasks, fault recovery with auto-retry. Experts: data analyst, copywriter, legal review, product manager, frontend, UI/UX, architect, social media ops, growth hacker, quant finance, finance, backend, DevOps, database, QA, security.
Install
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Asher-2000/dsh-expert-mode
Any plugin you install runs third-party code with your own permissions — it can read your files, use your credentials, and reach the network, and tool approvals don’t sandbox it. GitHub-sourced plugins also run build scripts at install time — pnpm blocks those until you allow them, so an install can stop with ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED or ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS; dsh prints the exact key to add under allowBuilds in your profile’s pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install works on the next run. Allowing a build is a trust decision: only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).
README
✨ What it does
Install this preset and DSH automatically becomes a "Chief Coordinator" mode:
| Scenario | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Receives task | Identifies domain → delegates to the best expert |
| Complex tasks | Dispatches multiple experts in parallel |
| Simple tasks | Coordinator handles directly — no forced delegation |
| Task complete | Experts stay online for follow-up modifications |
No custom prompts to write. No multi-config to maintain. Just install and use.

📦 Installation
Option A: npm one-click (recommended) 🚀
The package is published on npm as dsh-expert-mode. You can install it with the DSH plugin manager or npm directly:
# In DSH workspace — via plugin manager
dsh plugin add dsh-expert-mode
# ...or install the npm package directly
npm install dsh-expert-mode
ℹ️ How agent-presets work: this is an agent-preset plugin, not a Cordis service plugin. Installing the npm package pulls all files into your
node_modules— but the preset only activates once its files are mounted into DSH's preset discovery directory. The preset ships a copy step (below) that makes this one command.
Option B: One-command preset mount (recommended for activation)
After installing the npm package, mount the preset into DSH's preset discovery directory:
# 1. Find where npm put the package
# (usually ./node_modules/dsh-expert-mode in your DSH workspace, or globally)
# 2. Mount the preset into DSH's agent-presets directory
mkdir -p ~/.dsh/.agent-presets/expert-mode
cp -r node_modules/dsh-expert-mode/agent.cordis.yml \
node_modules/dsh-expert-mode/preset.yml \
node_modules/dsh-expert-mode/cordis.patch.yml \
~/.dsh/.agent-presets/expert-mode/
# If you want the full methodology docs (methods/, experts/, comm/ bus, taskboard):
# cp -r node_modules/dsh-expert-mode/.expert-mode ~/.dsh/.agent-presets/expert-mode/
# 3. Restart DSH web, then select "专家模式" in the workspace preset selector
dsh web
Note:
~/.dsh/.agent-presets/is DSH's preset discovery directory. Each subdirectory = one preset. The preset name comes frompreset.yml'snamefield.
Option C: Manual install from GitHub
Clone the repository, then copy the preset into DSH's agent-presets directory:
# 1. Clone anywhere
git clone https://github.com/Asher-2000/dsh-expert-mode.git
cd dsh-expert-mode
# 2. Copy the preset into DSH's agent-presets directory
mkdir -p ~/.dsh/.agent-presets/expert-mode
cp -r agent.cordis.yml preset.yml cordis.patch.yml ~/.dsh/.agent-presets/expert-mode/
# If you want the full methodology docs (methods/, experts/, comm/ bus), copy the whole tree:
# cp -r .expert-mode ~/.dsh/.agent-presets/expert-mode/
# 3. Restart DSH web, then select "专家模式" in the workspace preset selector
dsh web
Note:
~/.dsh/.agent-presets/is DSH's preset discovery directory. Each subdirectory = one preset. The preset name comes frompreset.yml'snamefield.
Then select "专家模式" in the workspace preset selector.
Optional: Cross-session memory (recommended)
The expert-mode preset itself does not register the cross-session memory service — it is a HOST-PLANE plugin, and registering it inside a preset conflicts with the host composition (causing preset mount failure). To enable cross-session memory, install dsh-memory-connect separately into the host composition:
# 1. Clone the memory plugin
git clone https://github.com/Asher-2000/dsh-memory-connect.git
cd dsh-memory-connect
npm install github:Asher-2000/dsh-memory-connect#v0.4.0 # or place it into the dsh dependency tree manually
# 2. Register it in the host composition (e.g. append to ~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml):
# - id: cross-session-memory
# name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-memory-connect'
# config:
# path: ~/.dsh/memory.db
# openAt: startup
# 3. Restart DSH web
dsh web
⚠️ Important: Do NOT add
@deepseek-ai/dsh-memory-connectinto this preset'sagent.cordis.yml. It is a HOST-PLANE plugin (injectssessions+systemPrompt); registering it inside the preset throwsservice has been registered at <cross-session-memory>, which makes the expert-mode preset fail to mount and the UI fall back to the default preset. This preset ships with an explanatory comment about it.
