Plugin Overview & Capabilities

AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.

source-grounded

dsh-better-edit is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that replaces scoped read/edit behavior with hashline tools. It addresses file lines by stable three-character hashes, verifies served ranges before writing, supports atomic batches, and persists undo state.

Key Capabilities

Provides hash-prefixed file reads with offset and limit paging.
Edits line ranges using hash anchors instead of echoed old text or line numbers.
Rejects stale, unserved, unverified, and ambiguous edit ranges before writing.
Supports up to 32 edits in one atomic batch_edit call.
Provides undo_last_edit when the file still matches the stored post-edit state; undo history persists across restarts.
Stores snapshots, served-state records, and undo history in a per-workspace SQLite store.
Integrates through a Cordis bundle patch and shadows built-in read/edit tools on the agent scope.

Useful For

Making repeated or structural code edits while retaining stable references to previously read lines.
Reducing replacement-text transcription in agent-driven file edits.
Preventing edits from silently applying to stale or incorrectly resolved file ranges.
Applying several dependent file modifications atomically.
Reverting the most recent hashline edit after a restart when the file has not changed.

Who It Fits

DeepSeek Harness users working with coding agents.
Developers making multi-step edits to source files.
Users who need verified, content-addressed edit ranges.

Documented Limitations

Requires Node.js ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0 and a DSH profile.
Hashline editing applies only to readable, writable UTF-8 text files; directories, binary files, and non-UTF-8 files are rejected.
Files over the plugin's hashline line ceiling are rejected for editing.
A file must be read in the session before it can be edited, and ranges must have been served to the model.
batch_edit is limited to 32 edits per call.
Undo is unavailable if the file changed or was deleted after the edit, and earlier shared-home undo history is not migrated to the per-workspace layout.
The README notes DSH is in developer preview and the plugin is pinned to DSH 0.1.0-rc.6, with future breaking changes possible.
