What it doesAI
Audits the token cost of agent context — instruction files, skills, MCP tool schemas, memory — flagging duplication and enforcing budgets in CI.
- Breaks down context cost per source: instructions, skills, MCP schemas, memory
- Flags duplicated content across sources
- Separates always-on vs on-demand cost and enforces a CI budget
Capability tags are AI-inferred or rule-extracted from the README (see badge) — vocabulary-limited, not install-verified. AI = inferred; README = literal keyword from the readme.
Installation
dsh plugin --profile web add github:liyixuan201211/ctx-budgetInstall method: GitHub · runtime test inconclusive (L5 unknown)
Verification & Compatibility○ Ecosystem plugin
Grouped by plugin version: each card lists the dsh versions actually tested against that artifact version and their install verdicts (L5 wins). Untested combinations are omitted — absence means untested, never assumed compatible. L1–L3 are a plugin-level static archive (independent of the dsh version — the same verdict on every dsh row): they sit in each row's level grid next to L4/L5, marked "static", while their evidence is stored once per plugin inside that row's "checks & evidence" instead of being duplicated per version.
External credentials (plugin-level): none detected
○ The author declares no dsh version requirement — install is not blocked by version.

Security Report
Two automated layers, neither a manual review: a static scan (per-plugin rule checks) and a model-driven dynamic security audit that covers only the subset static-flagged at warn or above and never executes plugin code.
Static low; dynamic medium (authoritative when present) → overall medium.

package.json:8The harvest reports 14 files and NOT_HARVESTED: (none), yet the three artifacts that define the plugin's runtime behaviour are not present: src/cli.js is the actual executable (argument parsing, the JSON serialiser that is asserted to strip source text, exit codes), src/dupes.js is imported by audit.js and consumes node:crypto, and skills/ctx-budget/SKILL.md is the prose that is injected into the agent and instructs it to shell out to the CLI — the one place in a DSH plugin where prompt-injection would live.

- lowAudit objects retain raw file text; redaction happens only in the human-render path
src/sources.js:57Every measured file's full contents (including any live credential inside AGENTS.md/MEMORY.md) are stored on the returned Audit.sources[].text, and audit()/the Audit shape are publicly exported from src/index.js. redactSecrets() is applied only by previewLine() during human rendering; the JSON output is stripped by logic in the unharvested src/cli.js (asserted, but unverifiable here). Any library consumer that JSON.stringify()s the result, or any future renderer that prints source.text, emits file contents unmasked, defeating the masking demonstrated by the secret test in examples/demo.sh.
Static scan's two criticals are false positives; the visible code is strictly read-only, but the CLI entry point, dupes.js and the agent-facing SKILL.md are missing from the audited corpus.
Rule (2026-10-28): when a dynamic conclusion exists it is authoritative (it may raise or lower the level); the static scan tier (vet primary, dsh backstop) applies only when there is none (not queued / audit failed / withdrawn). The audit never writes the exemption list (exemptions are manual only); a wrong conclusion is withdrawn by human review and the tier falls back to the static scan tier.
Disclaimer: the static scan and the dynamic security audit are both automated analysis, not a security guarantee. Always review what you install.

Frequently asked questions
What is ctx-budget?
ctx-budget is an ecosystem plugin listed on dsh.so: it installs with dsh plugin add but declares no dsh.bundle and mounts no plugin capability, so installing it adds no plugin functionality — use its source repository directly.
Is dsh.so or this plugin page official?
dsh.so is an independent community registry and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by DeepSeek AI.
How do I install ctx-budget?
Run dsh plugin --profile web add github:liyixuan201211/ctx-budget in a DeepSeek Harness (dsh) environment. Note this is an ecosystem plugin: it declares no dsh.bundle and mounts no plugin capability, so installing it adds no plugin functionality — use the source repository directly. The security scan still runs.
How does the security scan relate to a manual audit?
Both layers are automated, not a manual audit. The static scan is heuristic analysis of the repository source, so it can produce false positives and miss context. The model-driven dynamic security audit only covers plugins static-flagged at warn or above, never executes plugin code, and its conclusion is authoritative when there is one (it may raise or lower the static tier); exemptions stay manual. Neither layer is an endorsement: review the repository and the permissions it asks for before installing, together with the verification level and health signals.
How fresh is the data on this page?
The data on this page is as of 2026-10-29 (UTC) — the most recent valid timestamp among the registry refresh, install verification, security scan and dynamic audit. Build time is never used as a data date.
