dsh-evolve (old URL redirects). Reason: another community > project (william-jin-cmu/dsh-evolve) > already uses that name for in-session plugin hot-mounting. Different focus: > that project evolves which plugins are mounted; this project evolves which > rules are trusted, with verification gates. The CLI command stays > dsh-evolve for compatibility (dsh-rule-evolve is also available). Agents keep repeating the same expensive lessons: a crash fixed last week gets re-debugged today, a Windows quirk gets rediscovered, an install trap gets re-hit. dsh-evolve turns that loop into a traceable pipeline: text experience (markdown) → learn → rules (AGENTS.md) → verify (real checks) Every rule carries its source and its last verification result — evolution is auditable, and nothing is ever "learned" without being checked. ## Quick start sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs learn --from docs/troubleshooting.md --out experience.jsonl node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs rules --experience experience.jsonl --out AGENTS.md node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs verify --experience experience.jsonl --dir ./my-plugin verify runs the real check pipeline (dsh-plugin-doctor check <dir> by default, override with --cmd) and stamps every entry verified: true/false. ## Self-improvement loop (v0.2.0) Full evolution with reflection, profile installation and an evolution log: sh # 1. reflect on a completed task/retrospective node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs reflect --task "make my plugin pass its own checks" --result retro.md --out experience.jsonl # 2. evolve: verify rules against the real repo, install them into a dsh profile, # and append one round to EVOLUTION.md node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs evolve --experience experience.jsonl --dir ./my-plugin --profile web --log EVOLUTION.md The rules land in <DSH_HOME>/profiles/web/AGENTS.md (previous file backed up), so the next session actually starts with the lessons. Every round is logged: markdown ## Round 1 — 2026-08-15T… - New rules: 5 - Verified: yes ✅ - Sources: examples/doctor-experience.md - Command: dsh-evolve evolve --experience … --dir … --profile web Dogfood: our doctor repo now passes its own check with 5 verified rules installed into a profile (see examples/demo/EVOLUTION.md). ## Learning from failure logs (v0.3.0) extract turns raw failure logs into conditional rules automatically — no manual retrospective needed: sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs extract --task "publish to npm" --from install.log \ --out experience.jsonl --hint "configure the credential and retry" Every ERROR/failed/ERR_ line becomes a rule: When "<error>" occurs, <hint>. Noise lines (progress/warnings/success) are skipped; rules are deduplicated and tagged. audit keeps the rule library healthy: sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs audit --experience experience.jsonl It reports totals, verified/unverified counts, tag and source distribution, and near-duplicate rule pairs (Jaccard ≥ 0.7) so overlapping lessons can be merged. Dogfood: extracted 6 rules from our real npm ENEEDAUTH failure log. ## Tool learning (v0.5.0) tool-verify is the "agent wrote a tool → is it ready?" gate: sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs tool-verify --dir ./my-plugin --out readiness.md \ --experience experience.jsonl It runs the real readiness pipeline (dsh-plugin-doctor check by default), renders a readiness report (checks table, pass/warn/fail, overall READY/ISSUES), and learns: every failing/warning check becomes an experience entry (stamped with the verification result). A tool that ships with failures therefore teaches the next tool how not to ship. Dogfood: our doctor repo reports 8/8 PASS → READY ✅; before v1.10.1 this same gate caught its own lint bug. ## Rule lifecycle (v0.6.0) Rules get a health score and the library self-maintains — no manual cleanup: sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs score --experience experience.jsonl # score + lifecycle table node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs prune --experience experience.jsonl --min-score 3 [--dry-run] node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs merge-duplicates --experience experience.jsonl [--threshold 0.7] [--dry-run] - score: verified count, usage count, recency → active / stale - prune: soft-retires low-score rules (retired: true, reason kept — auditable, never deleted) - merge-duplicates: near-duplicate pairs merge into the higher-scoring rule (mergedInto kept) The library tells you what to keep, what to merge, and what to retire — that is the "memory that forgets usefully" half of long-term agent learning. ## Cross-session reinforcement (v0.7.0) Rules now carry usage and verification history: sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs touch --experience experience.jsonl --id EXP-001 Every successful verify/evolve/tool-verify increments verifiedCount; every touch (or the plugin's evolve_touch tool) increments usageCount. The health score already rewards both — so rules that are repeatedly verified and repeatedly used survive pruning, while stale rules fade. That is cross-session reinforcement: the library remembers what works. ## Local recall (v0.8.0) recall is a zero-dependency BM25-lite retrieval over the rule library — the retrieval half of #1881's Layer 2 without needing an embedding model: sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs recall --experience experience.jsonl --query "windows bash" --limit 5 # [3.28] EXP-003 ✅ — Never rely on /bin/bash as a default shellPath on Windows… Verified and frequently used rules rank higher. Works offline, no model, no network — and it is the seam where a real embedding provider can plug in later. ## Agent Growth Dashboard (v0.10.0) Turn the rule library into something you can see and share: sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs dash --experience experience.jsonl --evolution EVOLUTION.md --out agent-growth.html One self-contained HTML page (no dependencies, opens offline): rule growth curve, library health, what the agent learned, most-used rules, evolution timeline, and a shareable Agent Growth Report card. Bilingual. Live example: examples/marathon/agent-growth.html — the actual growth diary from the self-evolution marathon. One command for the whole loop: sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs loop --from docs/troubleshooting.md --out experience.jsonl --dir ./my-plugin ## Evolution badge (v0.11.0) One command turns the rule library into a README-ready SVG badge: sh dsh-evolve badge --experience experience.jsonl --evolution EVOLUTION.md --out badge.svg 
Tiers by verified-rule count: starting (0) · learning (1-4) · building (5-9) · growing (10-19) · legend (20+). Add --json for the machine-readable summary plus the SVG payload. ## How rules get into the agent The generated block is plain AGENTS.md — drop it into your repo root or dsh profile rules, and every future session sees it: markdown ## Self-evolution rules > Auto-generated by dsh-evolve. Rules are traceable to their source and to the last verification run. - [EXP-001] Never run recursive directory listings through node_modules; prefer Glob/Grep. _(source: docs/troubleshooting.md · ✅ verified)_ - [EXP-002] allowBuilds entries are required before git installs can run prepare scripts. _(source: docs/troubleshooting.md · ○ unverified)_ ## Design - Zero runtime dependencies, Node ≥ 18. - Experience entries are JSONL: { id, rule, source, tags, addedAt, verified, lastVerifiedAt }. - Dedup by rule hash; tags are inferred heuristics (install/crash/windows/test/memory/security/performance). - The verify step is pluggable: point --cmd at any command that exits 0 on success. ## Why this fits dsh Official discussion #1881 proposes triple-layer persistent memory; its Layer 1 is Git-tracked Markdown rules. dsh-evolve is the production and validation half of that layer — where rules come from, and how they stay honest. The ecosystem already has plenty of memory engines; it has no verification-driven rule evolution loop. ## License MIT --- # 中文说明 面向 DeepSeek Harness 的、带验证的智能体自我进化循环。 > 项目已从 dsh-evolve 改名 dsh-rule-evolve（旧地址会跳转）。CLI 命令仍保留 dsh-evolve 以兼容。 智能体会反复踩同一个坑：上周修好的崩溃这周又 debug 一遍，Windows 的怪癖被重新发现，安装陷阱被再次触发。这个项目把这个循环变成一条可追踪的流水线： text 经验（markdown）→ learn → 规则（AGENTS.md）→ verify（真实检查） 每条规则都带着来源和最近一次验证结果——进化全程可审计，没有经过检查的东西永远不会被「学到」。 ## 快速上手 sh node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs learn --from docs/troubleshooting.md --out experience.jsonl node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs rules --experience experience.jsonl --out AGENTS.md node scripts/dsh-evolve.mjs verify --experience experience.jsonl --dir ./my-plugin verify 会跑真实的检查流水线（默认是 dsh-plugin-doctor check <dir>，可用 --cmd 覆盖），并把每条经验盖上 verified: true/false。 ## 核心命令一览 | 命令 | 作用 | | --- | --- | | learn | 从 markdown 经验文档提取规则 | | rules | 把规则库渲染成 AGENTS.md | | verify | 用真实检查验证每条规则 | | reflect | 对完成的任务/复盘做反思 | | evolve | 验证规则 + 装进 dsh profile + 追加进化日志 | | extract | 从失败日志自动提取「当 X 出错时做 Y」的条件规则 | | audit | 规则库健康报告（去重、来源分布、近重复）| | tool-verify | 「agent 写了个工具 → 它能用吗？」就绪门禁 | | score / prune / merge-duplicates | 规则打分、软淘汰、合并近重复 | | touch | 记录规则被使用（跨会话强化）| | recall | 零依赖 BM25 检索规则库 | | dash | 生成可分享的 Agent 成长报告 HTML（双语）| | badge | 把规则库生成 README 用 SVG 徽章 | | loop | 一条命令跑完整循环 | ## 规则怎么进入 agent 生成的是纯文本 AGENTS.md，放到仓库根目录或 dsh profile 规则里，以后每个会话都能看到： markdown ## Self-evolution rules - [EXP-001] Never run recursive directory listings through node_modules; prefer Glob/Grep. _(source: docs/troubleshooting.md · ✅ verified)_ ## 设计要点 - 零运行时依赖，Node ≥ 18。 - 经验条目是 JSONL：{ id, rule, source, tags, addedAt, verified, lastVerifiedAt }。 - 按规则哈希去重；标签是启发式推断（install/crash/windows/test/memory/security/performance）。 - 验证步骤可插拔：用 --cmd 指向任意「成功即退出 0」的命令。 ## 为什么契合 dsh 官方讨论 #1881 提出了三层持久记忆；其中第一层是 Git 托管的 Markdown 规则。dsh-rule-evolve 就是这一层的生产和验证半边——规则从哪来，以及它们如何保持诚实。生态里已经有很多记忆引擎，但还没有一个带验证驱动的规则进化循环。 ## 许可 MITNot by stars — picked by hand, one at a time.
A visual settings dashboard for DeepSeek Harness: every registered settings namespace — including third-party plugin ones the official UI never covers — rendered as editable, schema-driven forms. Early, but the right direction: stop hand-editing YAML.
A DIY trajectory visualizer for DeepSeek Harness: watch the agent’s plan and execution unfold as a graph instead of scrolling raw logs. Early, but it fills a real gap — understanding at a glance what the agent is doing.
