vshulcz/deja-vu#extensions/dsh
Reads the session files forty-two other coding agents on this machine already wrote (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code Copilot Chat, opencode, OpenClaw, Hermes, Kimi, Cline, Zed and more), including sessions from before it was installed: six tools (deja_recall, deja_session, deja_blame, deja_fix, deja_how, deja_remember), a /deja command, and optional automatic recall added to the runtime context. Local BM25 index, no LLM, no embeddings, no network (dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-deja).
Install
via npm
Resolves a published tarball rather than cloning the repository, and installs without any extra setup. Swap `web` for your profile name if you run another one.
The desktop app keeps its own profile, desktop, and only the dsh command it ships may change it — the npm-installed dsh refuses that profile. Install the command from the app menu (Manage dsh Command…), open Desktop once, quit it fully, run the line below, then reopen Desktop.

Our install check ran in a web profile on npm's dsh, not in the desktop app.
What happened when we ran it
Installed cleanly when we ran it
Every command here is run in a throwaway container against a clean profile, and the result is whatever the harness recorded — not a guess from the source. Last run 6d agoon DeepSeek Harness 0.2.1-rc.5.

For maintainers: the badge serves this listing's latest sandbox verdict, so a re-run updates it on its own — and it links readers to the full result here.
Due diligence
Security
No build script was blocked in our run.
Source: our sandbox install on DeepSeek Harness 0.2.1-rc.5, 6d ago.
package.json declares no preinstall, install or postinstall script.
Source: package.json on GitHub, read at our last sync. prepare is not recorded; it runs only on a GitHub install, and shows up under build scripts when pnpm blocks it.
shell commands (bash, exec, spawn …)
Source: a keyword match on the README — a hint about what the plugin touches, not an analysis of its code.
Not an audit. These are the record of one install and two text scans; nobody has read this plugin's code on your behalf. Plugins run with your agent's permissions.
What it is — deja-vu indexes session files written by 42 other coding agents, providing six tools and a /deja command with optional automatic recall to the runtime context.
Who it is for — If you run multiple coding agents in DeepSeek Harness and need to share repair history across agents, this plugin fits your scenario. If you operate with a single coding agent without cross-agent memory requirements, you do not need to install this plugin.
Watch out — Sandbox test passed: installed in a fresh profile and registered to harness. The plugin will execute shell commands.
The verdict — I would install it because it halves token usage compared to agentmemory on tasks the machine had already solved and survives over 43 compactions while keeping 77% of decisions.
Generated by grok-4.6, and a starting point rather than a verdict. Where it says a plugin installs or does not, that is from a real run in a clean profile — everything else is read off the repository. Trust the source over this.
deja-vu is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that searches session history written by coding agents on the same machine and returns relevant decisions, fixes and unfinished work to the agent working now.
DeepSeek Harness loads deja-vu's six tools: deja_recall, deja_session, deja_blame, deja_fix, deja_how and deja_remember. The plugin can also expose a /deja command and optionally add automatic recall to the runtime context. deja-vu reads session files from agents including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code Copilot Chat, opencode, OpenClaw, Hermes, Kimi, Cline and Zed, including sessions created before installation. It builds a local BM25 index rather than using an LLM or embeddings, and does not connect to a network. The standalone deja command provides a terminal search and can resume or hand off sessions; DEJA_TUI=0 switches to text output, also available as deja brief.
This is for developers who work across multiple coding agents or need earlier debugging decisions and project context. The automatic mode can recall information at session start, before edits or commands, and after a command fails. It is a poor fit where relevant session files are not present on the machine, or where exposing those files to an agent with terminal access is unacceptable. The terminal surface means deja-vu reaches locally stored session history and creates a local index; the README says keys and tokens are stripped as the index is built.
DeepSeek Harness installs deja-vu as a plugin. The plugin exposes six tools: deja_recall, deja_session, deja_blame, deja_fix, deja_how and deja_remember. It also provides the /deja command. Automatic recall is optional and can add search results to the runtime context. Recall can occur at session start, before a file is edited or a command runs, and after a command fails.
deja-vu reads session files written by supported coding agents on the local machine, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code Copilot Chat, opencode, OpenClaw, Hermes, Kimi, Cline and Zed. The index includes sessions from before installation. Search uses a local BM25 index; the README states that deja-vu uses no LLM, no vector embeddings and no network connection. The README also says keys and tokens are stripped while the index is built.
Running deja without arguments opens an interactive search over indexed history. It initially searches sessions related to uncommitted changes, then recent sessions in the current project. Search filters include an agent prefix such as codex:, time filters such as today, yesterday, week and month, and in:<project>. deja brief prints a text summary. Setting DEJA_TUI=0 disables the interactive interface and selects text output.
The terminal search can open a session at a match, move between matches, resume it in its original agent, or continue it in another agent. It can also show deleted sessions retained by deja-vu and restore one. The README documents deja sync ssh laptop for moving an index between machines and deja handoff --to codex for continuing work in another agent.
The README describes the standalone Go binary as available on macOS, Linux and Windows. deja-vu reads local agent history and exposes that indexed material through DeepSeek Harness tools and terminal commands, so installation grants those surfaces access to the session data available on the machine.
