DSH Chat Import

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that imports conversation history from 17+ 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 19 agents: Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, Reasonix, opencode, MiMo Code, ZCode, Grok Build, OpenClaw, Pi Coding Agent, Hermes, Kimi CLI / Kimi Code, Qoder CLI, WorkBuddy, Qwen Work CN (千问办公) and DSH session logs.

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

Install

bash
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

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.

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

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.
