Agent config packer for DeepSeek Harness: pack local agent assets (skills/sessions/profiles/settings/memory) into a zip for migration or sharing, with privacy scanning, diff-based restore, pack management, and a settings panel.
Install
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:KLRSL/dsh-packer
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. Only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).
README
dsh-packer is a configuration packer plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH). It packs your local Agent assets into zip archives, module by module, for two purposes:
- Migration — move your whole setup to a new machine or after a reinstall.
- Sharing — hand your Skills (and other assets) to other people.

Two built-in presets
- Migrate — every module checked (the default).
- Share — only
skillsis checked; sessions and memory data are automatically excluded. Personal skill subdirectories are also excluded when sharing.
Core capabilities
- Privacy & security scan — before packing, automatically detects local absolute paths, user-profile directory paths, suspected credentials, and personal nicknames. In share mode a hit hard-blocks the pack (returns an error); in migrate mode it is reported only.
- File-level operation manifest — previews every file before packing; before a restore it produces a diff report (added / changed / same / skipped).
- Package management — lists generated packages (time / size / modules / note), delete, rename.
- Restore — import zip → validate
manifest.json(schemaVersion + SHA-256 fingerprints) → diff report → pick a conflict strategy: overwrite / skip / merge (merge appends, never overwrites). - Share packs ship with a README — a generated
README.mdexplaining the pack contents is attached automatically. - Package notes — write a usage note when packing.
Installation
Install as a local bundle from the project directory:
dsh plugin add . # add the local bundle
# or, during development
pnpm link
Then add dsh-packer to the dsh.profile.bundles list of your profile. Restart DSH and open the Settings → "Config Packer" tab (or use the /pack command).
Usage
Packing flow
- Open the Settings → "Config Packer" tab, or run
/pack create. - Pick the modules — or use a preset (Migrate = everything, Share = Skills only).
- The privacy scan runs automatically before packing; in share mode it hard-blocks on any hit.
- Confirm the file list (use
--dry-runto preview without generating a zip). - The zip is written to the packs directory (default
~/.dsh/packs); share packs get an automaticREADME.md.
Restore flow
- Import the zip (pick the file in the Settings tab, or
/pack restore <zip>). manifest.jsonis validated (schemaVersion + SHA-256 fingerprints).- Review the diff report: added / changed / same / skipped.
- Choose a conflict strategy: overwrite / skip / merge (merge appends text content without overwriting).
- Apply, and restart DSH if needed.
/pack command reference
/pack list # list existing packs (time/size/modules/note)
/pack create [--modules skills,memory] [--mode migrate|share] [--note note] [--dry-run]
/pack create --share # --share is shorthand for --mode share
/pack restore <zip-path> [--strategy overwrite|skip|merge]
/pack scan # privacy-scan every packable module
Details:
list— shows generated packs with creation time, size, modules and note.create— without--modules, modules are chosen by the mode preset (migrate = all; share = Skills only).--dry-runonly previews the file list and scan results; no zip is generated.restore— import zip → validate → diff report → apply with the chosen strategy. Files identical to the pack are skipped automatically under every strategy.scan— runs the privacy scan over every packable module and reports sensitive traces.
Package notes are written at pack time and shown in the package list. In the Settings tab you can also delete or rename packages.
Privacy & security
- Never packed:
.credentials.yamland.anonymous-user-idare skipped in every module's file walk. - Scan rules (text files only):
- local absolute paths (drive-letter style)
- user-profile directory paths (paths under the OS user profile)
- suspected credentials/tokens (
api_key,secret,password,token,bearer,authorizationassignments) - personal nicknames
- Windows user-name paths
- Share mode: any hit returns an error and the pack is blocked.
- Migrate mode: hits are reported only — inspect them with
/pack scanor--dry-run. - Every file's SHA-256 fingerprint is recorded in
manifest.jsonfor integrity checks on restore. - Packs are built with the system bsdtar (libarchive), producing standard zip files with zero native dependencies.
Compatibility
- Node.js >= 22.19.0
- DSH packages
@deepseek-ai/dsh-*0.1.0-rc.5 or later (peer deps:@deepseek-ai/cordis^4.0.1,@deepseek-ai/dsh-tools,@deepseek-ai/dsh-session) - bsdtar: Windows 10+ ships
tar.exe(bsdtar/libarchive); macOS ships bsdtar astar. No npm native modules are used.
FAQ
The zip won't open / looks corrupted?
Packs are standard zip archives created by the system bsdtar — Windows Explorer and common unzip tools can open them. If a pack fails validation, do not hand-edit its contents (that breaks the SHA-256 fingerprints in manifest.json); regenerate it with /pack create. Check ~/.dsh/packs (or your DSH_PACKS_DIR) with /pack list to see what is there.
Manifest validation fails on restore?
Usually one of: the zip was not created by dsh-packer (no manifest.json inside), manifest.json is missing or its schemaVersion is incompatible with the current version, or the pack was modified after creation. Redistribute the original pack or regenerate it.
My share pack got blocked — what now?
Share mode is deliberately strict: any hit (absolute path, user-profile path, suspected credential, nickname, …) aborts the pack with an error. Run /pack scan to see which files match, clean or replace the sensitive content, then retry. For personal backups you can use migrate mode (report-only), but never distribute such packs to others.
How does the merge strategy work?
For text files, the pack's content is appended to the target file behind a separator comment — existing content is never overwritten. Non-text files fall back to overwrite. Files already identical to the pack are skipped under every strategy.
Where are packs stored?
~/.dsh/packs by default, overridable via the DSH_PACKS_DIR environment variable.
