Real screenshots from a running DSH desktop app: left = plugin disabled, right = plugin enabled (same machine, only the plugin toggled). The A/B chart comes from a real model-call comparison: 44,067 → 30,068 tokens (−31.8%) with identical answers.

What it is

A Cordis plugin for DeepSeek Harness that answers four questions without touching the model, the reasoning level, the harness core or dsh-mnemon:

1. Where did my tokens go? Per-call four-bucket ledger, per task, session, project, today and all-time.
2. Which calls are wasteful? 11 finding types: repeated file reads, repeated tools, repeated build/test/deploy commands, redundant confirmations, repeated plans/summaries, simple-task step inflation, cache-hit drops, task-cost anomalies and more.
3. What can be compressed safely? Large shell/build/test/log outputs are replaced by structured summaries; the original is always recoverable via token_manager_read.
4. What did it cost and save? Cost per task with your price table, plus estimated tokens and money saved by compression.

Area	Capability
Accounting	Per-call four buckets (uncached input / cache read / cache write / output), deduplicated by (session, turn, step, attempt); totals cross-checked field-by-field against DSH's own tokenUsage projection.
Efficiency analysis	11 finding types with per-type switches and thresholds; 5 task types with same-type historical baselines (median / p80).
Compression 2.0	Shell-output aware (file lists, JSON/JSONL, Markdown, git diff/log, build, test, logs); every error/warning line preserved with its original line number; read results and error results are never compressed; history/prefix is never rewritten.
Recovery	Content-addressed blobs; token_manager_read paginates the original by blob id or reads a file inside the session workspace.
Tasks & projects	Merge tasks, 9-field task summaries, versioned 8-section project summaries, JSON/Markdown/CSV export.
Interface	Chinese-first dark dashboard, live top strip, 1600 / 897 / 390 responsive, help text collapsed into ? icons.

Measured (not marketing numbers)

Scenario	Result
A/B, same command, compression off → on	44,067 → 30,068 tokens (−31.8%), both answers identical
Accuracy check, 1500-line output, ask line count + exact error line	Both modes answered identically and correctly (1500 lines, exact L777 text, 1 ERROR / 1 WARNING)
Real 493k-token session (offline audit of 12 shell outputs)	521,347 B → 169,738 B (−67.4%), error/warning lines preserved 20/20
Historical projects, cumulative tokens avoidable (estimate)	large/long sessions 30%–50%, small projects 5%–15%

Percentages for historical projects are an offline estimate (compressed tokens × how many later calls would carry them). The A/B row is a real model call. Costs depend on your plan; the built-in reference prices are public list prices, not a live bill.

Distribution build

This repository is a distribution build, not an open-source repository:

• lib/ contains the compiled, minified host and client bundles that DSH loads;
• src/ and tests/ contain README notes only — sources and tests are not published;
• scripts/ contains two real, usable helpers;
• the plugin is proprietary (UNLICENSED, all rights reserved).

Path	Content
lib/	index.js (host, 197 KB) and client.js (browser, 188 KB), minified
src/	README only — source not published
tests/	README only — test-suite summary (231 tests), no test sources
scripts/	token-report.mjs (per-call token report), install-sandbox.ps1 (isolated profile install)
locale/	Chinese and English dictionaries
docs/	install, config, troubleshooting, compression 2.0 report, market guide, video script, screenshots
.github/	issue templates

Install

From npm:

dsh plugin --profile <profile> add dsh-token-manager@1.3.3

From GitHub (no market or npm needed):

dsh plugin --profile <profile> add github:zhirai-tech/dsh-token-manager

Then restart the profile. This installs the compiled release (v1.3.3) from this repository.

From this repository (local clone):

# from this repository (linked dev install)
dsh plugin --profile <profile> add "file:<absolute-path-to-this-repo>"

# or from the release zip
#   download dsh-token-manager-1.3.1.zip, unzip, then install the unzipped folder
dsh <profile> --no-open      # restart the GUI

Or in the DSH desktop app: Settings → Plugins → install from local directory.

Verify: the sidebar shows Token 监控 and /token-manager/api/health returns ok: true.

Full steps, upgrade and uninstall: docs/INSTALL.md.

Requirements

DeepSeek Harness 0.2.x (verified on 0.2.1-rc.5), Node.js 24.x bundled with DSH, no network access, no API keys.

Configuration

Everything lives in Token 监控 → 设置: collection switches, 11 analysis toggles and thresholds, price table (4 buckets, currency, unit), compression mode (off / observe / on) and thresholds, cache limits, context analysis (dry-run only).

Defaults are safe: monitoring on, compression in observe mode (records but never replaces), context analysis dry-run only. Auto-compression must be enabled explicitly.

Full reference: docs/CONFIG.md.

Compatibility and safety

• No core changes: no edits to DeepSeek Harness, dsh-mnemon, the model configuration or the reasoning level.
• dsh-mnemon coexistence: messages injected by mnemon (source.kind = "dsh-mnemon") are classified as protected and never compressed, deduplicated or removed (verified with real conversations; message hashes unchanged).
• Local-only data: %DSH_HOME%\dsh-token-manager\ (SQLite + content-addressed blobs); no telemetry, no network calls.
• HTTP boundary: every request goes through DSH's connection fence; token_manager_read validates session ownership and confines path reads to the session workspace.
• Reversible: uninstall removes listeners, routes, tool and UI; data remains until you delete it.

Repository layout

See docs/, .github/ and the table above. Sources are not published; issues about behaviour, compatibility and security are welcome.

Market

DSH's plugin market is a JSON index any static host can serve. This repository ships a ready index:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zhirai-tech/dsh-token-manager/main/docs/market/index.json

Add it under Plugins → Discover → Add index source. See docs/MARKET.md for the format and how to get listed in community catalogs.

Development

The test suite (231 unit tests + real-history cross-check) is maintained privately and run before every release. The public repository intentionally contains no source or test files.
