dsh-kernel-minimax

DSH runs on one simple idea: everything is a plugin. Models, tools, subagents — plug them together however you like.

So we did exactly that: we turned MiniMax's Mini-Agent into a DSH plugin. The mini-agent tool surface you already know — read_file, write_file, edit_file, bash, bash_output, bash_kill, get_skill, list_skills, record_note, recall_notes — is now a set of native DSH tools. Same names, same schemas, same behavior.

The payoff is simple: use Mini-Agent's tools natively inside DSH — no different from opening Mini-Agent itself. Every model stays in the environment it knows best — main agent or subagent, it feels like coming home.

Distilled from MiniMax-AI/Mini-Agent d76a4f6 (2026-02-14). No new model-facing tools since then.

The minimax-kernel model route needs a MiniMax API key in ~/.mini-agent/config.yaml:

api_key: "sk-..."

System prompt

lib/system-prompt.js carries the upstream Mini-Agent system_prompt.md (skill metadata adapted to DSH); apply() registers it as the agent's sole system-prompt section (complete: true + suppressRuntimeContext()).

Mini-Agent has no subagent tool upstream, so this package ships no L2 subagent recipes.

Install

1. Install the plugin into your profile with the official plugin command:

   dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-kernel-minimax
   

   GitHub also works (dsh plugin --profile web add github:oppnc/dsh-kernel-minimax) because lib/ ships in the repository.

   This package is a plain plugin (no dsh.bundle declaration), so dsh plugin installs it as an inactive dependency — that is expected: the preset row below references it by name.

2. The minimax-kernel agent preset ships in dsh-kernel-mesh's presets/ directory. Copy it into the official user-preset root (or, if you run without the mesh, get the preset directory from the mesh repo):

   dsh_home="${DSH_HOME:-$HOME/.dsh}"
   cp -r "$dsh_home/profiles/web/node_modules/dsh-kernel-mesh/presets/minimax-kernel" "$dsh_home/.agent-presets/"
   

   The preset already includes the minimax-surface row; if you author your own preset, add it:

   - id: minimax-surface
     name: dsh-kernel-minimax
   

Usage

Pick the minimax-kernel preset and the minimax-kernel / MiniMax-M2.5 model route. Your main agent runs on the Mini-Agent tool surface.
