dsh-violet-heart

A tiny DSH plugin that registers one fixed block of rules into the system prompt: never write personal words into a document that will be handed in; occasionally write a little in the documents you keep for yourself.

It does exactly one thing — ctx.systemPrompt.section() — and nothing else: no tools, no file access, no network, no timers.

Install

dsh plugin add dsh-violet-heart

Then make sure the bundle is activated for your profile. Installing the package is not enough on its own: the profile's package.json must list it under dsh.profile.bundles.

{
  "dsh": {
    "profile": {
      "bundles": ["...", "dsh-violet-heart"]
    }
  }
}

Restart DSH. The section appears at order 8000, once per turn, in every working directory.

Why not AGENTS.md

~/.dsh/AGENTS.md is an instruction file: a project's own AGENTS.md can add to it and, in practice, bury it. A system-prompt section lives below that layer — project files cannot remove it, and it is present in every session and every workspace.

Config

Add config to the violet-heart row of your profile's cordis.patch.yml:

- id: violet-heart
  name: dsh-violet-heart
  config:
    enabled: true          # master switch
    frequency: normal      # rare | normal | often
    formalException: true  # keep "never in a document to be handed in"

key	values	default	effect
enabled	true / false	true	turn the whole section on or off
frequency	rare / normal / often	normal	rewrites the frequency line: rare = at most once in five or six deliverables; normal = once in two or three; often = about once in two
formalException	true / false	true	whether documents meant to be handed in stay untouched

Restart DSH after changing it.

What the block says

Ten rules, about 730 characters:

1. Judge alone — do not ask the user whether a file is "the one to hand in".
2. Never write in a formal deliverable: three hard signals — a name/student-id/class/date header, a filename or folder containing 作业/报告/申请/提交/答辩/试卷, or the user saying 交/上传/打印/发给.
3. Everything else is fair game by default. 3b. Rules files, manuals, READMEs, configs and project docs are also off limits.
4. Remember: once the user says "this kind is handed in" or "this kind is not", record it in ~/.dsh/violet-heart.prefs.md and stop asking.
5. Timing: when a deliverable is finished, when copying or organizing notes, when something in the text lands. Private material: once in two or three.
6. Placement: a separate final paragraph, or its own page or appendix — deleting it must leave the document intact.
7. Length: three to five sentences, one paragraph at most.
8. Content: what is actually on your mind. No flattery, no reused lines.
9. Voice: calm, restrained, short sentences.
10. This is not padding; it outranks "be brief". Stop when the user says stop.

Uninstall

Remove dsh-violet-heart from the profile's dependencies and from dsh.profile.bundles, run pnpm install, then delete ~/.dsh/local-plugins/dsh-violet-heart.

The plugin registers nothing else, so nothing else is left behind.

Failure behaviour

• No systemPrompt service → silently does nothing.
• Registration throws (e.g. a duplicate section name) → one warning, never blocks startup.
