dsh-tui-favors

Pin the four values a dsh-TUI launch starts on — model route, reasoning effort, agent preset and permission mode — so every launch returns to your favorites instead of whatever the last session happened to end on. Turn on pin: true to extend that to every /new within the same run.

Install

/plugin install github:zerodegress/dsh-tui-favors

Restart dsh-TUI afterwards: the row writes the preference files during startup.

Use

Favorites come from two layers with the same shape: your profile's row config, and an optional ~/.dsh-tui/favors.json that wins key by key.

Layer 1 — the profile row

Add your favorites to your profile's cordis.patch.yml (any knob you leave out is not touched):

- id: dsh-tui-favors
  name: dsh-tui-favors
  config:
    provider: <provider>
    model: <model-id>
    effort: max
    preset: standard
    permission: workspace-write

Layer 2 — ~/.dsh-tui/favors.json

Flat JSON, the same keys as the config: block above, sitting next to model.json and friends:

{
  "provider": "magpie",
  "model": "group/cheap-deepseek-v4-1-flash",
  "effort": "max",
  "preset": "ptc",
  "permission": "workspace-write",
  "_comment": "machine-local, not in git"
}

It applies without a restart when pin: true (each check re-reads it, 2 s by default); with the default pin: false a new or edited file is picked up on the next launch or by /favors apply. Knobs you leave out keep the row's value, and a value that fails validation is reported instead of applied — the row's value stays, so a typo never silently un-pins a knob. A whole copy-pasted patch row (with id/name/config) is refused with a hint to keep only the keys inside config. enabled: false on the profile row is a kill switch: the file is then not even read.

Then, inside the TUI:

• /favors — show each knob: the pinned value, its source ([favors.json] or [profile row]), what the preference file currently holds, and whether something outranks it (DSH_TUI_PRESET, DSH_PERMISSION_MODE, the /settings default effort). The source: line reports whether the file is missing, in effect, or ignored.
• /favors apply — re-read the file and rewrite the four files immediately instead of waiting for the next launch or pin check.

With pin: false (the default) the files are written once per launch: a mid-session /model, /effort, /preset or /permission pick stays in effect, and the next /new re-reads it — the favorites are back on the next launch. Set pin: true to revert those picks, which is what makes every /new start on the favorites; pollMs (2 s by default) then decides how quickly. It costs one stat per check and nothing else.

Two limits worth knowing: reasoning effort is pinned per launch (dsh-TUI caches the preferred tier in-process, so an in-session /effort lasts until the next start), and permission.json only seeds sessions that never picked a permission mode themselves.
