dsh-fish-shell
A DSH profile plugin that routes model-facing bash tool commands through Fish.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add "$PWD"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.
Key Capabilities
- Runs foreground and background bash-tool commands with `fish -c`.
- Changes the inner sandboxed command from `bash -c` to `fish -c` when DSH mounts its shell executor.
- Preserves the public `bash` tool name, schema, approval flow, output, timeout, and background-job contracts.
- Adds a system-prompt note directing the agent to use Fish-compatible syntax.
- Optionally preprocesses standalone Bash assignments with Babelfish.
Useful For
- Using Fish syntax for commands generated through DSH's model-facing bash tool.
- Running DSH shell-tool commands in an environment where Fish is the preferred shell.
- Translating limited Bash assignment forms to Fish when Babelfish is configured.
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness users who prefer Fish for model-issued shell commands.
- DSH profile maintainers able to configure Fish and optional Babelfish executable paths.
Documented Limitations
- The README explicitly says “do not use” because syntax rewrites can cause more retries.
- Persistent PTY terminal sessions are not changed.
- Babelfish is optional; without `babelfishPath`, Bash syntax is not rewritten.
- It is not a general Bash compatibility layer.
- Complex Bash syntax, inline environment assignments such as `NAME=value command`, and unsupported Babelfish semantics must be written directly in Fish.
- Babelfish translation failures stop the tool call rather than executing untranslated Bash.
- Tested only against DSH `0.1.0-rc.6` and requires the local bash-compatible shell executor with `runArgv` and `startArgv`.
