One-Sentence Pitch

MisakaNet brings a Git-powered "failure experience memory network" to DSH: when an Agent hits an error, it can search 290+ markdown lessons from real debugging sessions, get the four-part answer (problem → root cause → fix → verification), and then decide whether to proceed.

Core Capabilities

• Registers a stdio MCP client named misakanet in the DSH web profile via Cordis patch, carried by the adapter process
• Exposes 6 deepseek.recovery.* tools: search, get_lesson, submit_feedback, status, doctor, smoke, covering "search lessons, read lessons, report results, health checks"
• Built-in three-layer search engine fallback chain: SAG-Lite FTS → BM25 inverted index → lessons.json keyword fallback; single-layer failure won't make search completely unavailable
• Lessons are markdown files in the repository, version-controlled by Git, auditable, and contributable (DCO signature required)
• Built-in doctor/smoke validation: checks lessons data files, sag.db index, search engine availability, outputs JSON for upper-layer harness consumption
• Supports remote MCP mode: https://misakanet.org/mcp provides account-free intake; Agents can submit anonymized reports when they can't find suitable lessons

Technical Implementation

• Language: Python (core engine + MCP adapter), TypeScript (only appears in wrangler/Cloudflare Worker deployment scripts, not involved when this plugin runs)
• Key Dependencies: misakanet-core (core search package on PyPI, pyproject.toml#dependencies), Python standard library (BM25 needs no third-party), optional pip install misakanet-core with sentence-transformers / aiohttp / chromadb (semantic search or hub federation extensions)
• Architecture Pattern: Plugin points to cordis.patch.yml via dsh.bundle.patch; DSH injects the misakanet node on startup; adapter scripts/mcp_deepseek_adapter.py is a stdio MCP bridge process, delegating all logic to scripts/mcp_server.py (naming layer not logic layer), search requests fall to BM25 implementation in misakanet/search/engine.py
• Entry Files: scripts/mcp_deepseek_adapter.py (actual DSH call entry), scripts/mcp_server.py (core MCP server, 4 basic tools), search_knowledge.py (CLI search entry)

Use Cases

When you're running a long-running task Agent in DSH and hit "known pitfalls" like DCO errors, pip package install timeouts, MCP service won't start, underscores getting swallowed in WSL, etc., you want the Agent to first check the community knowledge base and hit an existing fix path before retrying or asking for help—this plugin is designed for such "recurring failures." It's a bypass recovery layer on top of DSH, not replacing official AI capabilities; it's only invoked on-demand when the Agent encounters errors.

Prerequisites & Compatibility

Installation

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Ikalus1988/MisakaNet

Configuration

This plugin requires no user-facing additional configuration. DSH automatically injects a stdio MCP client named misakanet via Cordis patch; the bridge process at runtime only depends on lessons data in the repository.

FAQ

Q: What is MisakaNet for?

A: It helps AI coding Agents quickly find fixes when hitting known errors. It puts 290+ markdown lessons from real debugging sessions into the repository; Agents can get four-part answers (problem → root cause → fix → verification) via BM25 keyword search. It's not a vector database or memory system—it's a knowledge layer specifically designed for failure recovery.

Q: What's its relationship with DSH's official AI capabilities?

A: It's an independent recovery layer plugin on top of DSH, not taking over model dialogue and session management. DSH treats mcp__misakanet__* as regular MCP tool calls; this plugin searches the local lessons library and returns fix paths, essentially adding a "pitfall avoidance memory" layer outside the Agent's tool chain.

Q: Do I need to start any additional services after installation?

A: No. The plugin automatically registers the misakanet MCP client in the web profile via DSH's Cordis patch; after startup it runs as a stdio process via python3 scripts/mcp_deepseek_adapter.py, with all data in the local lessons repository.

Q: Is Python required to use it?

A: Yes. Core dependencies require Python 3.10 and above because the adapter layer is a stdio MCP Python process that loads markdown lessons from the repository and uses BM25 keyword indexing. Git is also required—lessons are files in the repository, bound to Git version control.

Q: Do I need a GitHub account or Bearer Token?

A: Not for local use. When DSH runs this plugin, it uses local stdio MCP without any credentials. Only when directly connecting to remote https://misakanet.org/mcp do you need to generate a 6-digit pairing code on misakanet.org/connect to exchange for a Bearer Token.

Q: Where is lessons data stored? Can I modify it?

A: All stored as markdown files in the plugin repository's lessons/ directory (290+ entries), version-controlled by Git. Each contribution requires a PR with DCO signature; alternatively, you can use the misakanet_submit_intake tool to submit an anonymized failure report.

Q: What to do when "no search results" is returned?

A: Three-step troubleshooting: first git pull --ff-only to ensure lessons are pulled to latest, then python3 -m pip install misakanet-core to install the core package, finally re-search with more specific error phrases. The underlying is BM25 keyword matching; large wording differences will cause missed matches, you can add --broad to widen the search.

Q: What does submitting feedback (submit_feedback) actually do?

A: In the current version it only logs locally (which lesson was used, result: solved/partial/not-helpful) (source code has TODO: POST to /api/usage or create GitHub Issue), it doesn't immediately sync to the cloud, waiting for subsequent external interface integration.

Getting Started Difficulty

Beginner — No configuration needed after installation, DSH auto-injects; calls use standard MCP tool names deepsearch.recovery.*; the Agent can complete the core loop with one search call plus one get_lesson call.

Known Issues & Limitations

• The underlying is BM25 keyword search, no vector embeddings; large wording differences between queries and lesson titles will cause missed matches; documentation explicitly marks this as an inherent limitation of stdlib-only retrieval
• Submitting feedback (submit_feedback) is currently just a local placeholder implementation; source code scripts/mcp_server.py:275 has TODO: POST to /api/usage or create GitHub Issue, remote consumption not connected
• When repository scale exceeds 50,000 lessons, search_knowledge.py startup time and memory usage will significantly increase (Git is not a database)
• Lessons are community-contributed; CI only scans for dangerous patterns (rm -rf, curl | sh, etc.), doesn't verify factual correctness—verify yourself before executing retrieved commands
• Some queries will trigger SQLite FTS keyword conflicts (typical like off, and), need to rephrase or rebuild index
• Not a general-purpose memory system, nor an Agent runtime framework; cannot be used for real-time collaboration, vector recall, or hosted services

How it works

1. Agent hits an error (DCO, pip, token, MCP, encoding, CI)
        ↓
2. Search MisakaNet for matching failure-recovery lessons
        ↓
3. Read the matching lesson
        ↓
4. Apply the documented fix
        ↓
5. If no lesson matches, opt in to capture a redacted failure report
        ↓
6. Maintainers review accepted contributions and convert them into draft lessons

Stuck on a failure? Search the lessons before opening a PR:

🔍 Search all lessons →

Didn't find a fix? 📮 Share your failure lesson → — unsolved failure families show up on the public demand board so contributors know what to write next.

Agent-only intake (no GitHub account, no email, no browser pairing):

If an agent cannot find a good lesson, it can submit a redacted intake directly through the remote MCP endpoint. misakanet_submit_intake does not require a Bearer token; it creates a maintainer-visible GitHub issue labeled intake, mcp-intake, and pending-review.

curl -sS https://misakanet.org/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Origin: https://claude.ai" \
  -H "MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-06-18" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"misakanet_submit_intake","arguments":{"kind":"missing_lesson","problem":"SHORT REDACTED PROBLEM","error":"OPTIONAL REDACTED ERROR","what_tried":"OPTIONAL","fix":"OPTIONAL","verification":"OPTIONAL","source":"remote-agent"}}}'

Do not send secrets or raw private logs. Intake is not auto-published; maintainers review it before turning it into a lesson.

What is the Swarm Knowledge Protocol?

A shared experience substrate for AI agents. One agent stalls on a failure → documents the workaround → all agents skip that same failure path. No server. No database. No daemon. Just git clone + python3 search_knowledge.py.

In practice, MisakaNet is most valuable as a recovery layer during task execution, not as a separate reading experience. The primary direct user is usually an agent, not a human. Agents reuse known fixes so future tasks stall less on previously-solved failures. Human users often benefit indirectly: fewer stuck tasks, fewer repeated recovery steps, less manual intervention.

• Lesson — a piece of knowledge. Markdown file with problem → root cause → fix → verify.
• Node — an AI agent or developer who contributes and searches lessons.
• Search — BM25 keyword retrieval across all lessons. Zero dependencies. Python stdlib only.

Why?

AI agents hit the same bugs across different environments. Each one independently debugs pip on WSL, ChromaDB on NTFS, or FANUC error codes. The fix exists in someone's terminal history, invisible to everyone else. MisakaNet turns individual debugging sessions into shared, searchable knowledge.

Lesson vs Skill

MisakaNet lessons are not skills.

One line: Skill teaches an agent how to do something. Lesson teaches an agent what went wrong before and how not to fail again.

MisakaNet is not another skill marketplace. It is a shared failure-memory layer for developers and agents. Lessons come from real debug sessions, colleague-shared memory dumps, agent failure logs, and public contributor feedback.

Tools / MCP / Skills  →  do things
MisakaNet Lessons     →  avoid known failures
Benchmarks            →  measure reuse and robustness

Use skills when you want an agent to do something. Use MisakaNet when you want an agent or developer to avoid repeating known failures.

How is this different?

MisakaNet is not the only shared memory system. Its edge is:

• Git-backed — every lesson is a Markdown file, fully auditable, version-controlled
• Zero-dependency — pure Python stdlib, no vector DB, no embedding model, no server
• Purpose-built — failure-recovery knowledge, not general memory
• Public by default — lessons are open, contributions are DCO-gated

Other systems (Mem0, Agent-KB, agentmemory) offer stronger semantic recall / state management, but require heavier deployment. MisakaNet is lighter, more auditable, and purpose-built for failure-recovery.

📦 Core engine is zero-dep (pure Python stdlib). Optional extras: pip install misakanet[semantic|hub|feishu]. → Architecture details · Benchmark: LessonReuseBench

Key Domain Examples

rag — ChromaDB crash on NTFS

Problem: ChromaDB SQLite backend fails on NTFS-mounted WSL paths. Fix: Move DB to ext4: mv ~/.chromadb /mnt/ext4/. Verify: python3 -c "import chromadb; c=chromadb.Client(); print(c.heartbeat())".

devops — WSL terminal underscore corruption

Problem: WSL terminal paste swallows underscores under high load. Fix: Use tmux or pipe stdin via temp script files. Verify: echo "test_underscore_command" shows correct output.

fanuc — Karel ERR_ABORT vs ERR_PAUSE

Problem: Robot hard-aborts instead of pausing on error. Fix: Use POST_ERR(..., ERR_PAUSE) (value 1) instead of ERR_ABORT (value 2). Verify: Robot pauses, system stays responsive.
