Why
The model often assumes a Windows shell (C:\, PowerShell) even when the agent runs in Linux/WSL. This plugin adds a short system-prompt section so it prefers Linux paths, understands /mnt/c, and knows about Node 24 proxy quirks.
What gets injected
Kept short on purpose:
- Distro name and Linux user
- Linux path mapping (
C:\Users\...→/mnt/c/Users/...) - CRLF / git caveats on
/mnt/c - Prefer Linux home over the Windows mount for day-to-day work
NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1when Node 24 must useHTTP(S)_PROXY
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add github:173787247/dsh-wsl-env
# or:
dsh plugin --profile web add /absolute/path/to/dsh-wsl-env
Restart dsh web. Open a new session (existing sessions keep the old prompt).
Verify
- Send any message.
- Trajectory → SYSTEM → System Prompt (not the Tools tab).
- Search for
Windows Subsystem for Linux.
You should see the distro name and path mapping. The UI concatenates sections, so the internal id runtime:wsl-windows may not appear as a heading.
Non-WSL hosts skip injection by default (when: wsl).
Config
Later profile layers that set config replace the whole object—restate every key you keep:
- id: dsh-wsl-env
name: dsh-wsl-env
config:
when: wsl # or: always
order: 15
extraNotes: "Prefer /home over /mnt/c for new files."
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|-----|---------|---------|
| when | wsl | Inject only in WSL, or always |
| order | 15 | Prompt section order |
| extraNotes | "" | Extra operator notes appended to the section |
