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
Steno is an installable DeepSeek Harness plugin for YAML-backed text snippets. It expands #tag triggers through a message.beforeSend hook and provides tools and a CLI for searching, previewing, editing, and managing snippet libraries.

Key Capabilities

  • Expands configured #tag triggers before a message is sent.
  • Loads multiple YAML snippet libraries with ordered priority and duplicate warnings.
  • Supports aliases, {{variable}} placeholders, and default placeholder values.
  • Expands nested snippets with loop, depth, and total-expansion guards.
  • Avoids expansion in fenced and inline code regions by default.
  • Provides steno.list, steno.search, steno.expand, steno.save, and steno.remove tools.
  • Includes a dsh-steno CLI for library initialization, search, preview, expansion, and editing.

Useful For

  • Reuse prompt instructions, review checklists, or recurring message templates through short tags.
  • Maintain separate project-level and user-level snippet libraries.
  • Preview or search reusable snippets from the command line or DSH tools.
  • Compose prompts from nested snippets while limiting recursive expansion.

Who It Fits

  • DeepSeek Harness users who repeatedly type prompt templates or instructions.
  • Developers maintaining YAML-based prompt or text snippet libraries.
  • Hosts that support DSH hooks, tools, and optional skill loading.

Documented Limitations

  • Requires Node.js 22.18 or later.
  • Writing libraries through tools or the CLI re-serializes YAML and removes comments.
  • Tags must begin with a letter, cannot contain spaces, and are limited to 64 characters.
  • Expansion is capped by configurable depth and total-expansion limits; guarded tags remain literal and emit warnings.
  • Code-fence protection is evaluated per pre-expansion text segment when a fence crosses an expansion boundary.
