Better Dsh

August 30, 2026 · View on GitHub

Dashr (/ˈdæʃ.ɚ/) makes your native dsh ready for serious coding.

Why

$(\text{Tools} \times \text{URL schemas})^{\text{REPL}}$ - a concise, cognitively frictionless setup delivering maximal capacity.
Universal Tools - read, write, grep, glob.
URL schemas - skill://, ctx://, agent://, dvc://, dsh://, an intuitive, unified interface for runtime resources.
Session-persistent REPL Kernel - IPython (compared with the native ephemeral TS REPL).
Context as Variables - full session transcripts are accessible as variables, even cross compactions.
Full Context Revive — full-namespace dill snapshots save and restore kernel state across restarts.

Agent swarm as resources — sub-agents, workflows, and Ralph loops are first-class calls inside a cell (subagent, workflow, ralph, send_message).
Global fallback LLM provider/model which is absent in the native build (safeguard for long range, unattended tasks).
3~4K system prompt usage.
dvc://broswer - browser use ready.

Dashr is an open-source plugin for DeepSeek Harness (dsh) (MIT). It stands on the shoulders of earlier open-source work:

BetaEdit (dsh-better-edit, by Rianico) — the hash-anchored read → edit → undo_last_edit editing model. Dashr adopts this toolchain (itself a lineage of pi-hashline-edit → pi-hashline-edit-lsz → dsh-better-edit) with attribution, and re-wires it natively.
omp-agent (oh-my-pi, by Can Bölük) — the dvc:// device framework and its ast_edit / ast_grep / browser / lsp devices, adopted under its MIT license.
Prime Agent (Prime Intellect) — the Context as Variables paradigm that shapes the persistent-kernel model.

All upstream dependencies carry their original MIT licenses, recorded in the source tree.
