Convert an unknown legacy plugin wrapper such as
{kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'acme'} into {kind: 'plugin:acme'}, retaining the
complete plugin name after one prefix. Keep the existing explicit
first-party producer renames and preserve all non-identity metadata.
A direct source already records its producer in kind. Reclassifying
unknown direct kinds into plugin:source:<name> needlessly changes that
attribution and forces plugin consumers to adopt new identifiers even
though V4 accepts their existing representation. Return every valid
direct source unchanged, including already-prefixed names. Remove the
obsolete direct-kind table and two-category identity helper rather than
adding collision classification or another mapping layer.
Update the source conversion examples, codec/restore regressions, and
native fixture producers together. Refresh only the owning Python
advanced scenario's unshipped V4 outputs; preserve historical V0-V3
recordings and their generation selection. Event names, content tags,
and ToolSchema migration remain separate concerns.

Summary
Use the core packages to build or extend an agent that records durable session history, assembles system prompts, exposes tools, selects a default model, and runs model turns. These packages define the shared APIs used by every composition, while executable product assemblies live under packages/bundle. Choose this group when developing agent behavior or replacing one of those capabilities; start with dsh-base when you need the default runnable composition.
Table of Contents
Packages
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
scope/ |
Scoped registration and event routing that isolate one agent's contributions | library — no ctx key |
session/ |
The append-only session event log every agent's history derives from | ctx.sessions |
system-prompt/ |
System-prompt assembly from ordered sections, tool schemas, and variables | ctx.systemPrompt |
tools/ |
The tool registry and guarded execution pipeline the loop dispatches through | ctx.tools |
agent-tool-presentation/ |
Per-agent tool-presentation selector for presets | no ctx key |
agent/ |
The Agent handle plugins program against, plus its live registry and events |
ctx.agents |
agent-default-model/ |
The deployment default model selection entry points apply to fresh agents | ctx.agentDefaultModel |
agent-loop/ |
The default agent driver: creates agents and runs the turn and step lifecycle | ctx.agentLoop |
scope supplies the shared scoping primitive; agent owns the public Agent contract, while agent-loop is its default implementation, so extension plugins depend on agent and the driver stays swappable. agent-default-model owns the deployment selection an entry point applies when a session has none of its own. Runnable compositions live under packages/bundle; this group owns only the swappable spine pieces.
