dsh-poke-todo

A DeepSeek Harness Cordis plugin that ports the auto-poke behavior from jcode.

When an agent is about to finish a turn while its session still has incomplete todos, the Host half injects a synthetic continuation:

You have N incomplete todo(s). Continue working, or update the todo tool.

The plugin listens to the DSH agent/turn-stopping serial event, queries the session's current todo projection from sessionProjections, and calls agent.steer() to continue the turn instead of idling.

Install

The plugin declares a dsh.bundle manifest, so a published build is installed with the DSH CLI:

dsh plugin --profile <name> add dsh-poke-todo

For a local checkout, use the repo installer (runs pnpm add link: and registers the bundle):

node scripts/install.mjs --profile desktop --from local

Layout

• lib/index.js — static ES module exporting the Cordis contract (name, inject, apply).
• plugin/host.js — dynamic host function body for cordis_define.
• plugin/client.js — client-side RPC bridge and styles for dynamic installation.
• cordis.patch.yml — bundle layer patch for permanent profile compositions.
• scripts/install.mjs — profile installer.
• scripts/define-payload.mjs — emits the dynamic cordis_define JSON payload.
• test/ — unit tests for the host and static modules.

Safety & semantics

• Up to MAX_CONSECUTIVE_POKES = 3 consecutive pokes per session before the circuit breaker trips.
• The budget resets when a genuine human message is claimed (agent/inbox/claimed).
• completed, cancelled, and canceled are treated as finished.
• Aborted turns (signal.aborted) are ignored.

Publish

npm version patch && npm publish

The bundle manifest in package.json (dsh.bundle.patch) and the root cordis.patch.yml make the published package installable via dsh plugin add.
