How to use dsh-output-retention

This article is derived from the plugin's already-indexed fields (wiki / faq / compatibility_json / readme), not freshly generated by AI. Source field is noted at the end of each section.

Quick start

Zero-dependency bounded-retention primitive: ItemRetainer/TextRetainer + neutral notice helpers (what did we keep, what did we omit)

— source: plugins.ai_summary

Install & verify

dsh plugin --profile web add npm:@deepseek-ai/dsh-output-retention

Run the command above in your DSH Web Profile. Then enable the plugin in the plugin list.

— source: plugins.install

Key points

• Item retention supports head only — tail, head/tail, pagination, grouping, and provider-completeness semantics remain tool-owned.
• Text retention is byte-oriented — line and character windows such as read pagination require a separate renderer, and a cut may discard partial UTF-8 boundary bytes to keep returned text valid.

Pitfalls

Review the upstream repo before installing. This guide is auto-derived from indexed fields and may lag the latest release. If anything contradicts the official docs, treat the upstream source as authoritative.
