dsh-import-agents

dsh-import-agents imports sessions, chat history, and agents from pi, opencode, codex, and claude-code into DeepSeek Harness (dsh). Imported sessions appear in the session list and can be resumed with the full conversation history as context; custom agents and mode prompts become discoverable dsh skills; a one-click Sync button in the composer runs the whole import.

Features

• Four sources, one command. Import sessions from pi (JSONL), opencode (SQLite), codex (JSONL), and claude-code (JSONL) — as real, resumable dsh sessions.
• Truly resumable. Browse the full original history (text, reasoning, tool calls) and continue the conversation — the model gets the complete context.
• Agents become skills. pi agents / mode prompts and opencode agents are converted into dsh skill bundles under $DSH_AGENTS_HOME/skills, with provenance recorded in frontmatter (metadata.source / metadata.kind).
• One-click Sync button. A small control in the composer tool row runs /import-all and shows the result inline.
• Migration prompt on session start. When a new top-level session starts and unimported history exists, the plugin asks whether to migrate — per-project decisions are remembered, so it never nags twice.
• Workspace placement. Imported sessions attach to a workspace matching their original cwd (created on demand); /attach-workspaces retro-fits existing imports.
• Idempotent. Stable ids (pi-<uuid> / oc-<id> / codex-<id> / claude-<id>); re-imports skip what already exists.
• Zero runtime dependencies. Node built-ins (node:zlib zstd, node:sqlite) plus dsh platform modules.

Screenshots

Taken from a clean Docker demo environment (English UI) with sample pi / codex sessions.

The dsh web UI with the Sync button in the composer tool row:

Clicking Sync runs the full import and shows the result inline:

Imported sessions land in a workspace matching their original project folder, with source-tagged titles ([pi], [opencode], [codex], …):

An imported session opens like a native dsh session — text, reasoning, and tool calls are preserved, and you can keep talking:

Tool calls survive the import as real trajectory entries — the Trajectory tab renders a card per call (here a bash call from the imported codex session):

Installation

The plugin is published on npm as dsh-import-agents (latest 0.2.2). Add it to your dsh profile — shown here for the web profile — in three steps: install, configure, restart.

Step 1 · Install the package

cd ~/.dsh/profiles/web

# from npm (recommended)
pnpm add dsh-import-agents
# ...or with npm
# npm install dsh-import-agents

Other sources:

# from git
pnpm add git+https://github.com/Chang-Tong/dsh-import-agents.git
# from a local checkout (development)
pnpm add file:/path/to/dsh-import-agents

Step 2 · Enable it in the profile config

Append an entry to ~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml:

- insert:
    - id: import-pi-opencode
      name: dsh-import-agents

• name — the npm package name you just installed.
• id — the plugin's registered id (keep it as import-pi-opencode; the slash commands and the Sync button bind to it).

Step 3 · Restart and verify

1. Restart dsh web — the host plugin registers its slash commands at startup; the client bundle (the Sync button) is served automatically.
2. Refresh the page — the old page's RPC connection is gone after a restart.
3. Verify: the composer tool row shows the Sync button, and /import-all answers in the input.

# optional sanity checks
npm view dsh-import-agents version     # latest published version
pnpm list dsh-import-agents            # installed in the profile

Disable the session-start migration prompt with config: { offerOnStart: false } on the inserted row. Source paths and defaults are overridable the same way — see Configuration.

Usage

Quick start

1. Refresh the page after a restart.
2. Click Sync in the composer tool row — or type /import-all in the input.
3. Imported sessions appear in the session list (grouped by workspace); imported agents appear as skills.

Everything is idempotent — run it as often as you like; already-imported sessions are skipped.

Slash commands

Command	What it does
/import-pi [options]	Import pi sessions
/import-opencode [options]	Import opencode sessions
/import-codex [options]	Import codex sessions
/import-claude-code [options]	Import claude-code sessions
/import-agents	Convert pi/opencode agents & prompts into dsh skills
/import-all [options]	All of the above (4 sources + agents)
/attach-workspaces	Attach imported sessions to cwd-matched workspaces (retro-fit)

Options: --limit N · --project <substr> · --since <iso|ms> · --no-tools · --tools-as-text · --tool-truncate N

CLI (no dsh needed)

node import.mjs all                # dry-run preview (writes nothing)
node import.mjs all --apply        # write sessions + skills
node import.mjs sessions codex --apply --limit 20   # one source at a time
node import.mjs agents --apply     # agents/prompts → skills only
node export.mjs                    # export sessions as Markdown for any agent to read

• import.mjs defaults to dry-run; pass --apply to write.
• all = pi + opencode + agents; add codex/claude-code explicitly (e.g. sessions codex, sessions claude-code).
• export.mjs writes $DSH_HOME/exports/<source>/<session-id>.md (--source, --project, --limit, --since, --out, --no-reasoning, --no-tools).

The importer is a pure converter: lib/ parses each source format into a normalized message stream, then emits the exact dsh JSONL event layout (checksummed zstd frames, project-dir encoding) — byte-for-byte the format the dsh persistence backend reads back with its own list / load / prepare.

Sessions. Each user message opens a turn (turn/start + user/message); following assistant messages join it with increasing step numbers; every turn closes with turn/end. pi thinking → dsh reasoning blocks. pi toolCall, opencode tool, claude tool_use, codex tool_use → tool-call content blocks plus paired tool/call + tool/result events: the trajectory UI renders call cards, and the placeholder tool/result answers every tool_calls so OpenAI-compatible APIs accept resumed requests. --tools-as-text switches to plain text (no trajectory cards); --no-tools drops tool calls. Mechanical records (step-start, patch, compaction, …) are skipped.

Agents & prompts → skills. Written to $DSH_AGENTS_HOME/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (default ~/.agents/skills/), discoverable via ctx.skills.list(). Name conflicts are renamed <name>-<source> (e.g. k3-reviewer-opencode); existing bundles are only completed, never clobbered; identical content is skipped; frontmatter records metadata.source / metadata.kind.

Configuration

Key	Default	Meaning
offerOnStart	true	Ask about migration when a new top-level session starts
piRoot	~/.pi/agent/sessions	pi session root
piAgentRoot	~/.pi/agent	pi agents & prompts root
opencodeDb	~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db	opencode SQLite path
opencodeConfig	~/.config/opencode	opencode agents root
codexRoot	~/.codex/sessions	codex session root
claudeRoot	~/.claude/projects	claude-code projects root
skillsRoot	$DSH_AGENTS_HOME/skills	skills output root
toolTruncate	1000	tool-call arguments truncation (chars)

The migration prompt only fires for brand-new top-level sessions (startup, not subagents) that have a cwd and unimported history. Per-project decisions and the global agents decision are stored in $DSH_HOME/import-pi-opencode-state.json; headless environments without a UI provider silently skip the prompt.

Testing

• verify.mts — mounts the real dsh JSONL backend + skill provider on staged output (node --import tsx/esm ../dsh-import-agents/verify.mts <sessions-root> <skills-root> from the dsh checkout) → expects SESSIONS ALL PASS / SKILLS ALL PASS.
• plugin/plugin-test.mts — end-to-end: loads the plugin on a real cordis context, runs the commands and the session-start migration offer, asserts idempotency and state persistence.
• tests/ — Vitest component tests for the Sync button (sync-button.spec.tsx, sync-button-hide.spec.tsx), plus opencode-reader.spec.ts and attach-workspaces.spec.ts.
• CI (GitHub Actions, macos-latest, Node 22): pnpm install → pnpm run build → npx vitest run.

pnpm install          # devDependencies (esbuild, vitest)
pnpm run build        # rebuild lib/client.js (Sync button bundle)
npx vitest run        # component tests

FAQ

Why does Sync say "new imports 0, skipped N"? Idempotency working as intended: those sessions were imported before, so they are skipped. Nothing is duplicated.

Tool call results are missing — why? The source formats do not store tool results, only the calls. Imports keep the calls as tool-call blocks with placeholder tool/result events, so the trajectory renders cards and resumed requests stay API-legal.

Will it keep asking me to migrate? Only while unimported sessions exist, and only per project. Once you decline or an import completes, the decision is remembered in $DSH_HOME/import-pi-opencode-state.json.

Why do I need to refresh after a dsh restart? The old page's RPC connection is gone after a restart; commands (and the Sync button) fail until you refresh.

Node version requirement? Node ≥ 22.19 — same baseline as dsh (node:sqlite, zstd via node:zlib).
