mineru-parse-dsh-tool
English | 简体中文
A self-contained DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin that registers a global model tool parse_docs: parse local PDF / DOCX / PPTX / XLSX / TIFF and image batches into Markdown with local MinerU.
Features
- Self-contained — bundles its own wrapper script
assets/scripts/parse.ps1; no skill package dependency
- Zero runtime dependencies — Node builtins only
- Global scope — mounted at the profile/host layer, available to every session
- Batched + cached — multiple files in one MinerU call; fresh
<stem>.md outputs are reused
- Sandbox-aware (Windows) — fail-fast with a one-shot escalation hint when MinerU cannot run
parse_docs handles: pdf / docx / pptx / xlsx / tif / tiff / jpg / jpeg / png / bmp.
Plain text (txt / md / json / csv / code) should be read with the built-in read tool, and single images with read_image — parse_docs returns a hint pointing to the right tool.
Requirements
-
DSH with a profile (tested on the web profile)
-
Windows + PowerShell (the wrapper script is .ps1)
-
Node.js >= 18
-
MinerU installed — the parser engine is not bundled. parse.ps1 locates it in this order:
- Env var
MINERU_BAT (recommended)
mineru.config.json — in <plugin>\assets\scripts\ or ~\.config\mineru\ (fields mineruBat / venvPython)
D:\MinerU\mineru.bat (if present)
mineru on PATH
If none is found, parse_docs returns MINERU_UNAVAILABLE.
Installation
For DSH users
# from npm
dsh plugin --profile web add mineru-parse-dsh-tool
# or from GitHub
dsh plugin --profile web add github:83079Vermont/dsh-mineru-parse-plugin
Then mount it in ~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml and restart dsh web:
# - insert:
# - id: mineru-parse-tool
# name: 'mineru-parse-dsh-tool'
Local development
# copy the package into the plugins dir, then add it as a file: dependency
Copy-Item -Recurse <repo> $HOME\.dsh\plugins\mineru-parse-tool
dsh plugin --profile web add file:$HOME/.dsh/plugins/mineru-parse-tool
Usage
Model-invocable tool. Parameters:
| Param |
Type |
Description |
paths |
string[] |
required — absolute file paths (multiple allowed, merged into one call) |
backend |

defaultauto: <10 pages → pipeline, else hybrid-engine |
force |
boolean |
ignore cache and re-parse |
method |
auto | txt | ocr |
parsing method (pipeline / hybrid-engine only) |
lang |
string |

string |
output root; default<workspace>/.mineru-output |

one-sentence reason, required withsandbox_permissions |
Example:
parse_docs({
paths: ["C:\\docs\\report.pdf", "C:\\docs\\fig1.png"],
backend: "auto",
});
How It Works
- Locate the script —
DSH_MINERU_PARSE_SCRIPT env override, else the bundled assets/scripts/parse.ps1 (resolved relative to this module)
- Invoke — call
parse.ps1 through ctx.shell (PowerShell), passing all options through
- Parse markers — interpret
RESULT / CACHED / MINERU_UNAVAILABLE / MINERU_ERROR / NO_SUPPORTED_FILES / NO_MD / WARNING_EMPTY
- Read output — load the Markdown via
ctx.fs and return it (>2000 lines → head excerpt + markdownPath, use read for the rest)
- Output location — default
<workspace>/.mineru-output (sandbox-writable, cache-friendly); pass out_dir explicitly when the source directory is read-only
Sandbox & Escalation (Windows)
DSH's Windows sandbox blocks MinerU's PDF rendering in every confined mode (read-only, workspace-write): multiprocessing named pipes are denied (WinError 5), and MinerU's mkdtemp (mode 0o700) temp dirs get unusable ACLs. Parsing therefore requires an unconfined (danger-full-access) run.
parse_docs behavior:
- PDF-family inputs (pdf/docx/pptx/xlsx) under confinement fail fast with an escalation hint — no doomed parse attempt
- The model retries with
sandbox_permissions + justification → the user approves → only that call runs unconfined (fail-closed; mirror of the pwsh tool)
- Image-only inputs are attempted even when confined (no PDF rendering involved)
- A fresh cached
.md next to the source or under out_dir can be read directly with read — no escalation needed
Configuration
| Env var |
Purpose |
DSH_MINERU_PARSE_SCRIPT |
absolute path to an alternativeparse.ps1; overrides the bundled script |
MINERU_BAT |
consumed byparse.ps1; absolute path to the MinerU executable |
Development
node tests/smoke.mjs # unit smoke test, no MinerU required
After restart, parse_docs should appear in the session's tool list; a real PDF/DOCX call returns Markdown, a README.md call returns the "use read" hint.
Uninstall
dsh plugin --profile web remove mineru-parse-dsh-tool
Remove the mineru-parse-tool insert entry from cordis.patch.yml, then restart dsh web.
