dsh-subagent-profile

子 Agent 派发方案化插件 —— 用对的人（预设 / 模型 / 推理强度）干对的事

For DeepSeek Harness (DSH).

Thinking, Fast and Slow: System 1 is fast and cheap, System 2 is slow and careful. The built-in subagent gives every subtask the same brain as its parent — no way to tell them apart. dsh-subagent-profile lets you pick per subtask: research with a fast brain, deep work with a careful one, saved as named profiles.

Why the built-in subagent isn't enough

What it solves

• Per-subtask control over the child's brain. dispatch sets, per subtask: which preset (composition), which model, which reasoning effort, which tools, and the token cap. A research subtask and a coding subtask can run with completely different setups — something the plain subagent tool can't do (it only inherits the parent).
• Named, reusable profiles. A profile is one bundle of preset + model + reasoning effort + tool scope + persona. Save "research" as researcher (reasoning off, search-only tools) and dispatch with dispatch(profile="researcher"); two built-ins ship (swap-standard = full standard coding toolkit, researcher), and you can add/edit/remove your own in the settings page.
• Fully observable. Every result reports the effective profile / preset / model / reasoning effort; logs are tagged [dsh-subagent-profile].

Quick start

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-subagent-profile        # published package
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-subagent-profile      # from a local checkout

Restart dsh web. This is a standard bundle plugin: it provides the dispatch tool, the profile provider, the subagent-profiles service, the /subagent-profiles/* loopback management routes, the settings page (「子 Agent 方案」), and the dispatch tool-call card in the web GUI. On startup it also self-installs an agent preset — orchestrator (「编排者模式」) — pick it in the new-session preset picker. The sync is idempotent and re-runs on every startup, so upgrading the plugin updates the preset.

Usage

1. Configure sub-agent profiles

Profiles are managed in the settings page — each one bundles preset + model + reasoning effort + tool scope (and optionally a persona), and can be enabled, disabled, edited, or reset individually.

2. Dispatch per subtask — the dispatch tool

dispatch(
  profile: "researcher",        // preset + model + reasoning effort + tool scope
  prompt: "Survey the DSH plugin ecosystem and compare direct competitors",
  run_in_background: true
)

Profiles

Profiles live in ~/.dsh/subagent-profiles.json and take effect immediately (edits are made from the settings page).

Safety model

Delegation never lets a subagent gain more power than you already have — this is the default, with no configuration:

• Tools only shrink. A child's tool set is the intersection of the profile's tools and the parent's tools, and run_code is always removed.
• Approval is always "never". A child cannot widen its own permissions; operations that need approval are rejected automatically.
• Cost is capped. Model, reasoning effort, tokens, and recursion depth are all bounded; out-of-range values fail loudly instead of silently downgrading.

Data

• ~/.dsh/subagent-profiles.json — the profile registry (edited from the settings page).
• ~/.dsh/subagent-profiles.state.json — the plugin's enable/disable switch (default enabled).
• ~/.dsh/.agent-presets/orchestrator/ — the self-installed orchestrator agent preset (synced from the bundled presets/orchestrator/ on every startup).

DSH_HOME is respected and defaults to ~/.dsh.

Known limitations

• Background one-shot dispatch requires @deepseek-ai/dsh-jobs and @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-jobs to be loaded; otherwise it fails with "background jobs unavailable".
• Continuable mode goes through the DSH standard composition path, so the preset swap and reasoningEffort are ignored (the child inherits the parent preset at the default reasoning effort).
