dsh-claude-compat

Reuse your entire Claude Code setup in DSH — zero migration. skills, commands, rules, agents, hooks, MCP — install and they just work. Nothing to reconfigure.

The 10-second pitch

You've already built up a solid .claude/ in Claude Code — skills, slash commands, rules, agents, hooks, MCP servers. Moving to DSH (DeepSeek Harness) shouldn't mean rebuilding all of it.

dsh-claude-compat is that bridge. It carries your .claude/ directories verbatim into DSH — everything works immediately. Install once, and both sides share one config: change it in one place, it updates in both.

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-claude-compat@latest
dsh web

Done. Your skills show up in the / menu, rules inject into every new session, and you can invoke agents with /agent-name — all inside DSH, exactly like Claude Code.

Or let DSH install it itself (recommended): copy this line to DSH — it reads the skill, installs, and verifies:

Read https://github.com/biedongbin/dsh-claude-compat/blob/main/.claude/skills/install-dsh-compat/SKILL.md and install the dsh-claude-compat plugin following its steps.

What it brings over — at a glance

Both the project .claude/ and the user-level ~/.claude/ are read. Same-name entries dedupe by fixed priority: project .claude > DSH native > ~/.claude — a project skill always wins over other copies, and a user skill never overrides a DSH-native one. CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md are handled by DSH's built-in dsh-agent-instructions — this plugin never touches them.

What it does (implementation detail)

The same directories are also read from the user-level ~/.claude/ (skills, commands, rules, agents, and ~/.claude/settings.json hooks). Same-name skills/commands/rules/agents are deduped with a fixed priority:

project .claude > DSH native (.dsh) > ~/.claude

• Project .claude entries carry rank 50; DSH's own skills — project .dsh roots, .agents roots, and bundled skills (ranks 100–600, BUNDLED_SKILL_RANK) — sit in between; ~/.claude entries rank 700. So a project skill always overrides the DSH-native and user copies, and a user skill never overrides a DSH-native one.
• Rule files with the same basename in ~/.claude/rules are skipped when the project already provides one.

CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md are not touched — DSH's built-in dsh-agent-instructions already handles those.

Built-in commands

Installing this plugin adds three management skills to the catalog:

Typical loop: /cc-plugin install ralph-loop@claude-plugins-official → /reload-cc-plugins → new skills visible immediately. Plugin-shipped MCP servers still require a DSH restart (process-lifetime mount).

Requirements

• DSH with a profile (e.g. web)
• A project using Claude Code conventions: .claude/skills/, .claude/commands/, .claude/rules/, .claude/agents/, .claude/settings.json, and a project-root .mcp.json (all optional; ~/.claude/ equivalents are also picked up)
• pnpm on PATH — dsh plugin is a thin pnpm forwarder

Install / Update

One command — the package declares dsh.bundle, so DSH activates it automatically (no manual cordis.patch.yml editing). Install or update to the latest release:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-claude-compat@latest

Or from GitHub:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:biedongbin/dsh-claude-compat

Restart DSH (dsh web). Done — skills show up in /, rules are injected into every new session.

Configuration

Notes

• Skill naming: DSH requires kebab-case skill names. Nested skill directories are flattened (gitnexus/gitnexus-guide → gitnexus-gitnexus-guide); invalid frontmatter names fall back to the directory name.
• MCP lifecycle: .mcp.json is read once at DSH startup from the launch workspace — not per session — and each server mounts for the process lifetime. Restart DSH to pick up edits.
• Hooks scope: a deliberately small subset of Claude Code hooks: PreToolUse / PostToolUse / UserPromptSubmit. Matchers support exact names, * wildcards, and | alternation; commands run with stdin carrying the Claude-style JSON payload. Exit code 2 = deny (Pre) / block (Post); other non-zero exits and timeouts allow through with a warning.
• Rules granularity: rules are read per new session (cached per session cwd). Editing a rule mid-session takes effect in the next session.
• Rules content: rules are injected verbatim as instructions to the model. Only commit rules you want the model to follow — same trust level as CLAUDE.md.
• Catalog snapshot timing: the skill catalog is snapshotted when a session is created. Skills installed or edited mid-session surface after /reload-cc-plugins (hot reload) or in the next session.

Troubleshooting

Known limitation: /cc-resume via the skill tool

In some DSH runtime configurations the skill tool resolves in an agent-scoped layer where globally registered providers are not visible — the invocation returns skill "cc-resume" is unknown or no longer available even though the catalog lists it. This is a DSH runtime layering behavior, not a plugin bug. The skill body only instructs the model to run the CLI, which is always available:

node node_modules/dsh-claude-compat/scripts/cc-resume.mjs list
node node_modules/dsh-claude-compat/scripts/cc-resume.mjs import <sessionId>

DSH won't start back up after a restart / port 3080 stuck. Old process still holding the port (symptom: EADDRINUSE in logs). Use the bundled restart script — it waits for a clean stop, falls back to SIGKILL, and verifies the port before reporting success:

npx dsh-claude-compat-restart        # bin alias (installed with the package)
bash node_modules/dsh-claude-compat/scripts/dsh-restart.sh   # direct
bash scripts/dsh-restart.sh --no-patch   # skip the prompt patch, restart only

The script also re-applies the idempotent dsh-terminal-bash prompt patch, which npx/npm updates silently revert. DSH_RESTART_PORT overrides the port (default 3080).

Installed a plugin via /cc-plugin but its skills don't show. Run /reload-cc-plugins. Still missing → restart DSH (plugin-shipped MCP servers always need a restart).

/cc-resume import fails on compression. The importer needs the zstd binary (macOS: brew install zstd; most Linux images ship it).

/cc-plugin reports "claude CLI unavailable". The fallback engine handles install/enable/disable; for marketplace add/update, install Claude Code (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code) or manage marketplaces from Claude Code directly.
