DSH Chat Import

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that imports conversation history from 18+ AI coding tools, so you can continue right where you left off.

All sessions, continued in DSH.

Intro

DSH Chat Import imports conversation history with full context from other agents, turning it into a seamlessly resumable DeepSeek Harness session.

Now covers import from 20 agents: Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, Reasonix, opencode, MiMo Code, ZCode, Grok Build, OpenClaw, Pi Coding Agent, Hermes, Kimi CLI / Kimi Code, Kilo Code, Qoder CLI, WorkBuddy, Qwen Work CN (千问办公) and DSH session logs.

Export back to: Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code.

Supported Agents

Claude Code	Codex	ChatGPT	Cursor	Gemini CLI
Reasonix	OpenCode	MiMo Code	Kilo Code	ZCode
Grok Build	OpenClaw	Pi Coding Agent	Hermes	Kimi CLI
Qoder CLI	WorkBuddy	Qwen Work CN	DSH

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-chat-import                    # npm package
dsh plugin --profile web add -w link:/path/to/dsh-chat-import   # local checkout (symlink)

Usage

1. Import — pick the conversations to import from the "Import sessions" panel in the bottom-right of the GUI and import with one click, or have your agent call the context tool:

import_chat({ format: "claude", path: "~/.claude/projects" })
import_chat({ format: "chatgpt", path: "~/Downloads/chatgpt-export/conversations.json" })
import_chat({ format: "local-jsonl", path: "D:\downloads\session.jsonl" })

Reasonix directory imports conservatively collapse only recovery ancestors proven by both a strict semantic prefix and an explicit parent_id lineage. Ambiguous or divergent files remain separate; use lineageMode: "physical" for one session per JSONL.

2. Resume — refresh the session list, open the imported session, and keep chatting from where the source left off.

3. Sync (optional) — the panel's "Sync" tab offers bidirectional incremental sync, off by default. Sub-agent conversations are filtered out by default in both directions.

4. Tool injection (optional) — the "Session Import" settings section exposes three injectTools levels: Minimal (default, keeps only the import_chat entry tool resident; low-frequency management tools stay out of context), Full (all 13 tools), and Off (invisible to the agent; the GUI panel still works). Tool descriptions are slimmed down to selection-time essentials; behavioral details ride along in execution results and error text, only when needed.

Full tool / command usage (parameters, examples, edge cases) lives in docs/USAGE.md.

Companion tool: config migration

Only need to migrate configuration (skills, hooks, global settings) rather than conversation history? dsh-movein handles config migration and complements this plugin -- DSH Chat Import only handles conversation history, and each tool works standalone. Its first-migration guide (中文) walks through a preview-first, apply-second, verify-each-step flow.

The combined flow of the two tools has not been jointly validated, and cross-linking is not a mutual endorsement; check sources, targets, duplicate-import and retraction boundaries for each tool separately.

This plugin's import_agents is a lightweight asset mover (it persists pi/opencode/Claude/Codex agents, prompts and skills as DSH skills); for full config migration (hooks, permission rules, settings), use dsh-movein.

Features

One documented exception to full fidelity: failed ghost retry steps. When a tool call never received its result and the very next step re-emits the same call id verbatim, the dead step is dropped at import — the result already pairs with the re-emitted call. Duplicate call ids in the imported log would hard-fail DSH's conversation folding (a second start for the same id), swallowing the whole trajectory after the first duplicate. See the droppedRetrySteps counter on the converter result.
