dsh-worth-check · Worth Check

A DeepSeek plugin that judges task size at the start of a new conversation and asks "is this worth doing?" only for large projects — preventing impulsive kick-offs you can't cleanly abandon.

中文

What it does

At the start of every new conversation, before the first task, the model quickly sizes it up:

• Starts by reading a handoff doc / continuing a previous project → proceed, don't ask (already confirmed).
• Small tasks (chit-chat, lookups, explanations, typos) → just do it, no interruption.
• Large projects → ask "is this worth doing now?" first, then proceed after your answer.

Judged once on the first task only; never re-asked later in the same conversation.

Large-project signals (any one suffices, configurable):

1. Needs a handoff document
2. Needs many context compactions
3. Spans many files or steps
4. Implies "project / system / build from scratch"

Reminder-only, never blocking.

Config

The plugin ships as two components you can toggle independently on the plugin's detail page under "Included components":

Component	Default	Purpose
Worth check	on	Sizes the task, asks only for large projects, skips handoff reads
Fake-need check	off	Extra "fake need / wasted effort" check, off by default to save tokens

The main component also has two optional parameters (set in cordis.yml, not the GUI):

Key	Default	Meaning
askOnLargeOnly	true	Ask only for large projects
largeSignals	4 defaults	Large-project signals, editable
