Tianyi Cui 066f94c7e0 docs: unwrap hard-wrapped Markdown to one line per paragraph
Hard line breaks mid-paragraph make docs harder to edit and diff — a
one-word change reflows and re-diffs the whole paragraph. Reflow all
tracked non-vendor Markdown (plus vendor/AGENTS.md) so each prose
paragraph is a single line; soft-wrapping is the editor's job. Fenced
code, tables, and list structure are preserved (wrapped list items fold
to one line per bullet). Documents the convention in AGENTS.md.

dsh-system-prompt

System prompt assembly registry. Plugins contribute ordered text sections and tool-schema providers; the agent loop calls assemble() once per step.

Service: SystemPrompt (ctx key: systemPrompt)

Public API

  • ctx.systemPrompt.section(section: PromptSection): () => void Contribute a section. Disposed with the calling fiber.
  • ctx.systemPrompt.tools(provider: () => ToolSchema[]): () => void Contribute tool schemas (evaluated at each assembly). Disposed with the calling fiber.
  • ctx.systemPrompt.assemble(): Promise<PromptAssembly> Assemble the current prompt. Runs through the system-prompt/assemble waterfall.

Events

Event Mode Purpose
system-prompt/assemble waterfall Mutate/extend the assembly before it reaches the model
system-prompt/change emit A section or tool provider was registered or unregistered

Key types

  • PromptSection{ name, order, text: string | (() => string) }. Sections are concatenated in ascending order.
  • PromptAssembly{ sections: PromptSection[], tools: ToolSchema[] }. Tool schemas are part of the assembly by design: "what the model is told it can do" is one coherent thing, even though adapters transmit schemas as a separate wire field.
  • renderPrompt(assembly) — joins section texts with blank lines.

Merge-extensible: plugins can declare extra fields on PromptAssembly via declaration merging.

Extension points

  • Section providers: AGENTS.md reader, cwd notifier, persona config, etc.
  • Tool schema providers: ToolRegistry registers itself as a tool provider automatically.
  • The system-prompt/assemble waterfall: mutate or replace the assembly (system-prompt configurability, dynamic tool filtering).

What is NOT here

  • Any hardcoded prompt text — every section comes from plugins.
  • Prompt compaction (belongs on the agent/request seam in dsh-agent).
