Cross-session memory for DeepSeek Harness (DSH).
The idea: every workspace keeps a structured memory database (.dsh-meow/memory.db,
SQLite via node:sqlite). The static tool manual (seven layers + every memory_* tool's
usage) lives in the system prompt as a fixed section — constant text, so your LLM
provider's KV/context cache stays untouched. Dynamic content (soul/user in full, design
principles, memory guide) is injected as a prefix of the first user message, and the
first turn injects long-term memory only — no keyword hits. From the second user message
on, every message gets a keyword hit (top-2). The model deep-dives into the rest on demand
with memory_search / memory_project. Each window's own agent consolidates its memories
at night ("dream"), and only its own memories — with the window's knowledge frozen at the
last conversation timestamp.
✨ Features
- Seven memory layers (
soul= the AI itself /user= user basics & preferences /project= per-project info withsubcategory(overview/structure/decisions/quotes/ops/todo) /fact= atomic facts /lesson= mistakes & corrections /topic= ongoing discussion arcs with a goal sentence /rules= design principles & behavioral rules). One SQLite table per layer, UUIDs are time-prefixed so id order == creation order. - First-turn injection (long-term memory block): before the first user message, a fixed
format is injected:
===== 长期记忆 =====→【关于你】(all soul entries) →【关于user】(all user entries) →【设计原则】(global rules with importance ≥ 2 — few, imperative guidelines) →【记忆导引】(usage note + the dynamic "all your projects" list formemory_project) →===== 长期记忆结束 =====+本轮用户prompt:. No keyword hits on the first turn (hits start from the second message). Even when the first user message arrives batched with a plugin notice (e.g. an approval-policy change notification), the snapshot still lands on the real user message and hits never fire early. - Per-message keyword hits: from the second user message on, every real user message is matched against fact/lesson/rules/topic (scope = global + current-project anchor), top-2 hits are injected under a "可能相关的记忆,仅供参考:" prefix. Matching is based on entry keywords (LLM-extracted or auto bigram) — not full text, which is noisy. Scoring = intersection × idf × coverage × Ebbinghaus decay (by memory timestamp) × importance weight × title bonus.
- Current-project anchor: any
memory_remember/search/update/projectcall with aprojectparameter anchors the session's current project; unanchored sessions only hit global entries (casual chat stays unaffected). - Cache-friendly by design: the static
meow-memory:guidesection (order 130, right after thetool:*guidance sections) is registered in the system prompt once — constant text, KV-cache friendly. Already-seen memories (injected+searched) are recorded per session (.dsh-meow/sessions/<id>.json) and never re-injected or re-searched; a session-compaction signal (compaction/*) releases the seen records so compressed-away memories can be hit again. - Toolset:
memory_remember(write, dedup merge, returns read-back confirmation: keywords/project; accepts akeywordsparameter — reflection/dream turns have the LLM summarize 5–10 content words, auto bigram extraction as fallback) /memory_search(BM25 × recency, filters: level/project/status/days, sorted by memory timestamp) /memory_project(whole-project injection paragraph: grouped by subcategory, all non-stale entries, todo section with latest 5 done + to-do list, plus memory-db & session-history pointers) /memory_find_similar(duplicate & conflict detection) /memory_read/memory_update(incl. status active/archived/stale, importance, goal, manual keyword fixes) /memory_dream(manual trigger). - Memory timestamp (
updated_at= last update time): refreshed by dream stamping or anymemory_update. Search results are re-ordered by it, hits/injections show relative time (e.g. "2 days ago"), with a "conflict → newest wins" hint. - Per-window dream: at night (00:00–07:00 in the configured
timeZone, default Asia/Shanghai, idle) every window whose last chat is newer than its last dream gets consolidated by its own main agent — one project group per turn — using its full conversation context. Old windows (no live agent, >24h) and archived sessions are left alone. - Reflection: after ≥7 consecutive tool steps within one task the plugin asks the
model whether anything since the last consolidation is worth remembering. A turn whose
last tool is a
memory_*tool counts as already having consolidated (no re-reflection); cancelled turns never trigger it. - Injection-fold UI (client): first-turn long-term memory / per-message keyword hits collapse into a slim "injected memory" bar (same width as the user bubble) — click to see the full injected text; the user prompt shows as a bubble, keeping the flow clean. Only plain-text messages are folded (attachment-bearing ones stay untouched).
- Reflection-fold UI (client): reflection/dream turns (prompt, think, tool calls and the report) collapse into a slim bar (collapsed by default, showing "N memories added" / "dream task"); clicking expands it into a card — Think / tool calls / context injections inside the card are expandable for details.
- Dream anti-repeat: DB-atomic 60s check gate + atomic start claim (
dream_pending) + interrupted-dream auto-recovery + orphan finalization (a finished dream turn always landslast_dream_time, even across hot-reload instances); plugin-turn events don't refresh window activity — an already-dreamed window is never re-dreamed. - Zero runtime dependencies:
node:sqlite(default-enabled on Node ≥22.13; 22.5–22.12 needs--experimental-sqlite) + self-contained esbuild bundle (lib/index.js). No native modules.
📦 Install
Via npm (published package)
# 1. Install into the profile's node_modules (the loader resolves plugins there)
cd $DSH_HOME/profiles/web # default home: ~/.dsh/profiles/web
npm install meow-memory
# 2. Add the package to the profile's assembly bundles in package.json (recommended since v0.9.0):
# "dsh": { "profile": { "bundles": ["@deepseek-ai/dsh-base", "@deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app", "meow-memory"] } }
# (the package ships a dsh.bundle.patch; bundle assembly inserts it. Profile-patch
# `insert` entries address existing ids — a new plugin not in the tree reports
# "entry not found", so new plugins go through the bundles array.)
# 3. Restart dsh web. New sessions pick up the plugin automatically.
By hand (any DSH install, no npm needed)
- Copy (or symlink) this package into the profile's
node_modules:
(On Windows:mkdir -p ~/.dsh/profiles/web/node_modules ln -s /path/to/meow-memory ~/.dsh/profiles/web/node_modules/meow-memoryNew-Item -ItemType Junction ...— NTFS junction, no admin needed.) - Add
meow-memoryto the profilepackage.json'sdsh.profile.bundles(same as above). - Restart
dsh web. New sessions pick up the plugin automatically.
⚙️ Configuration
All fields are optional (profile patch or cordis.patch.yml):
- id: meow-memory
name: 'meow-memory'
config:
enabled: true # master switch
projectDir: '.dsh-meow' # memory directory, relative to the workspace
hitTopK: 2 # max keyword-hit entries injected per user message (fact/lesson/rules/topic)
reflect: true # auto-reflection after ≥reflectTurns tool turns
reflectTurns: 7 # consecutive tool turns before reflection triggers
dream:
enabled: true
windowStart: 0 # night window hours, computed in timeZone (below)
windowEnd: 7
idleMinutes: 30 # no session events for this long before dreaming
checkMinutes: 15
timeZone: 'Asia/Shanghai' # the user's machine clock is US time; the night
# window must follow this fixed zone instead
🧠 How it works

🛠 Development
npm install
npm run build # esbuild bundle → lib/index.js (self-contained)
npm run test # 144 logic tests: db / bm25 / migrate / inject / reflect / dream / tools / apply
The @deepseek-ai/* packages live in the dsh-meow pnpm workspace, not in this package's
node_modules. On Windows, npm run link-workspace (or scripts/link-workspace.ps1)
creates junction mirrors of the workspace packages so esbuild can resolve them;
build.mjs uses nodePaths to pick them up. The links are build-time only.
