Elephant-Goldfish Model for DeepSeek Harness

Ever read a design doc and realized a crucial detail only made sense because you were there for the discussion? That’s the idea behind Elephant-Goldfish.

The Elephant is the DSH session you’ve been working in. It knows the tradeoffs you discussed and helps turn them into a design. The Goldfish are reviewers that each start in a fresh conversation. They get the draft and the files they need to review it, so they can spot gaps your original session might gloss over.

Get started

1. Download the .tgz from the latest release.
2. In DSH, open Plugin Hub → Add, choose the file, and enable the plugin.
3. Open the composer and type /egm to see the commands.

Already have a design doc? Try /egm-review design.md. For example, if you’re designing a background job that retries, see whether the draft explains what happens when a job runs twice or stops halfway through.

EGM works on its own inside DSH. You don’t need any other plugins. The commands were verified on DSH 0.2.2-alpha.3. For Goldfish reviews, use a preset that exposes DSH’s built-in subagent tool with fresh conversations. How reviews run in DSH
