dsh-obsidian-export
DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin that integrates with an Obsidian vault
(no Obsidian-app dependency — a vault is just a folder of Markdown files),
offering a model-facing toolset: export conversations, plus common vault
operations read / search / list / tags / backlinks.
Tools
| tool |
purpose |
obsidian_export |
export a DSH conversation to the vault as Markdown, with per-session dedupe / create / skip / update / overwrite semantics |
obsidian_read |
read a note; returns body + parsed frontmatter, first H1 title, [[wikilink]] targets, #tags |
obsidian_search |
search the vault — field filename (paths) or content (full-text) — and narrow by tags |
obsidian_list |
list Markdown notes and folders under a vault path (recursive, optional subpath) |
obsidian_tags |
aggregate distinct #tags used across the vault, with note counts |
obsidian_backlinks |
find notes that [[link]] a given target (for graph traversal) |
obsidian_export — export + dedup
- Reads a session from the persistence seam (
ctx.sessionPersistence) — current
session by default, or sessionId, or imports an exported
session.jsonl / session.jsonl.zstd via path.
- Renders a transcript (user / assistant / tool calls) + a
_dashboard.md
overview, and refreshes a vault _index.md.
- Tracks each session's content hash in
<vault>/.dsh-obsidian/manifest.json,
so it can tell whether the target exists and whether content changed.
Export modes (判断"是否重复 / 更新 / 覆盖")
| mode |

auto (default) |

update (rewrite in place) |

Returns { ok, action, reason, changed, note, sessionId, hash, dir }
— action ∈ create | skip | update | overwrite | dry-run | error.
Source resolution order
path — import an exported session.jsonl / .jsonl.zstd.
sessionId — that persisted session (via ctx.sessionPersistence.readRaw/inspect).
- otherwise — the current session (
exec.agent.session.id / DSH_SESSION_ID).
Files
src/engine.js — pure, framework-free export + manifest/dedupe engine (Node ESM).
src/obsidian-tools.js — the vault tools (read / search / list / tags / backlinks) over ctx.fs.
src/index.js — the Cordis plugin: defineTool wiring for all six tools,
ctx.fs / ctx.sessionPersistence use.
cordis.patch.yml — bundle patch that mounts the plugin row.
package.json — declares "dsh": { "bundle": { "patch": "./cordis.patch.yml" } }.
Install into a DSH profile
# from any directory; relative specs anchor to your invoking directory
dsh plugin --profile web add /absolute/path/to/dsh-obsidian-export
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-obsidian-export # or file:/link:
dsh plugin installs the package into the profile's node_modules, detects the
dsh.bundle.patch declaration, and appends it to dsh.profile.bundles in
~/.dsh/profiles/<name>/package.json.
Bundle layers only mount at process boot, so a full restart of the profile is
required to activate the tool:
# stop the running instance, then
dsh --profile web # or dsh web
Watch steps before restarting: confirm composition with
dsh --profile web --dump-config (no restart needed).
The plugin needs its @deepseek-ai/* peer packages resolvable. When installed via
pnpm file:/link: from a directory, provide them in the plugin's own
node_modules (e.g. symlink to the DSH install's fallback dir) or rely on the
profile node_modules hoisting.
Model usage
obsidian_export(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", mode="auto") # current session
obsidian_export(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", path="exported/session.jsonl")
obsidian_export(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", sessionId="session-<id>", mode="dry-run")
obsidian_read(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", path="Inbox/My Note.md")
obsidian_list(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", subpath="Inbox")
obsidian_search(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", query="rag") # filename match
obsidian_search(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", query="embedding", field="content")
obsidian_search(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", tags="pkms#research")
obsidian_tags(vaultDir="/path/to/vault")
obsidian_backlinks(vaultDir="/path/to/vault", target="Welcome")
Model flow for a common workflow: obsidian_list (see what's there) →
obsidian_read (load a note) → obsidian_search (find related notes by
content/tag) → obsidian_backlinks (follow the graph) → obsidian_export
(save a conversation). Combine an export with a dry-run first to preview
whether a target would be created, skipped, updated, or overwritten.
