This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

dsh-prose-standard from zk-andy/dsh-continual-evolve is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

Use when writing, reviewing, restoring, trimming, or auditing prose in the deepseek-harness repo, including deciding where documentation or comments are required across Markdown, JSDoc, code and test comments, prompts, descriptions, diagnostics, and CLI or UI strings.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# DeepSeek Harness Prose Standard

Write enough to preserve the contract, then remove reasoning transcripts, repetition, and decoration. A contract is an obligation, invariant, precondition, postcondition, or compatibility promise that a caller, callee, implementer, producer, or consumer relies on. This skill owns editorial judgment and required prose coverage; use [dsh-doc-standards](../dsh-doc-standards/SKILL.md) for placement, budgets, bilingual pairs, and documentation gates, and [dsh-trim-cot-leakage](../dsh-trim-cot-leakage/SKILL.md) for hunting and fixing reasoning-transcript leakage. It is guidance, not a script.

Treat `contract`, `boundary`, `shape`, `surface`, `seam`, `gate`, and `vocabulary` as terms to check before use, not banned words. First ask whether the exact rule, API, field set, type, validation, timing point, component split, or failure states the fact better. Keep a term when it names the exact technical subject, including caller/callee contracts and security/process boundaries.

Comments describe non-obvious contracts or rationale that code cannot express; they do not restate what code already implies.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zk-andy/dsh-continual-evolve/dsh-prose-standard@sha256:60fb954529bf5388

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.fb7299e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
