`dsh` shipped two config trees that were 43 rows the same: apps/cli/cordis.yml composed web as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins behind a twenty-key pass-through Config. Neither file was what its location claimed — apps/cli hardcoded the "example" as the product default and the "demo" bundle was the application — and every capability change had to be made twice. - apps/cli/base.cordis.yml holds the 43 shared rows; tui.cordis.yml and web.cordis.yml are patch lists stating only what differs per surface - overlays apply as SIBLING patch lists at one include level, because include patches never cross an include boundary. Precedence: base < surface < (--config | personal ~/.dsh/config.yaml) < launcher flag/profile patches - `--config` now applies an overlay INSTEAD OF the personal one, so a demo or test tree never inherits the user's route; new `--config-replace` boots a file as the entire tree (the old `--config` behaviour). Both survive /resume - vendor/include: index each `insert`ed row as it is added so a later patch can configure or disable it. Upstream built the id index once before the patch loop, leaving every surface-only row — the whole TUI front door — silently unpatchable from user config. Logged as local modification 8 - session identity moves to dsh-agent-loop's CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY; dsh-tui's MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY is deleted (only the bundle read it) - delete examples/tui-agent, examples/cordis-agent, packages/examples/tui-demo; TUI tests → apps/cli/tests, cordis e2e → packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests, examples/code-mode survives as an overlay leaf - `dsh web` gains --config, threaded into AppCLIEntry as an extra overlay Three latent defects surfaced and are fixed here: the TUI captured the optional sessionQuery service once at construction and could permanently disable /resume when it won the mount race; the session-store root silently reverted to a project-local ./.sessions; --config-replace was dropped by the resume handoff. Verified by booting each tree through the real Loader (TUI 55 entries, web 75, zero unsettled) rather than reading YAML. All eight terminal snapshots replay byte-identically; 14/14 PTY smoke, 112/112 snapshots, 25/25 doc-sync, hygiene and lint clean.

# Agent Note: `dsh migrate`/`dsh upgrade` seed the first turn with a skill

## Problem
|
|
|
|
Two recurring flows begin with the user manually invoking one skill and answering its questions: migrating from another coding agent, and upgrading this checkout. Both require the user to know the skill exists and to type `/skill:dsh-migrate` or `/skill:dsh-upgrade` as the session's first turn. A dedicated entry command that drops the user straight into that guided session removes the discovery step.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
`dsh migrate` and `dsh upgrade` boot the ordinary TUI as a fresh session whose first turn auto-invokes a bundled skill (`dsh-migrate`, `dsh-upgrade`), exactly as if the user typed `/skill:<name>` and pressed Enter.
|
|
|
|
The seed reuses the existing TUI skill path, not a new one. `createTuiChat` already has `invokeSkill(name, instructions)` — the code a typed `/skill:<name>` runs, including the "Unknown skill" notice. The launcher passes the skill name to the TUI through a new boot-context slot `INITIAL_SKILL_KEY` (`tuiInitialSkill`), mirroring `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY`/`TUI_GOODBYE_MESSAGE_KEY`: `ctx.provide` is the only channel from launcher argv into a Loader-mounted plugin. The TUI's `apply()` reads the slot and folds it into `config.initialSkill`; after `ui.start()` succeeds, `createTuiChat` fires `invokeSkill(config.initialSkill, '')` once when set.
|
|
|
|
**Freshness is gated in the launcher, not the TUI.** `runSkillSession` always mints a fresh session and provides the slot only when `resumeSessionId === undefined`, so a later `dsh --resume <id>` of that session is an ordinary TUI session with no re-injection. The TUI stays generic: it invokes whatever skill it is handed, once, at startup.
|
|
|
|
**`migrate`/`upgrade` take no options.** Unlike `meta`, they carry no `--resume`, `--config`, or `-p`; a guided fresh-session entry has nothing to resume or reconfigure. Any leaked default-surface option fails loud, matching the `web`/`meta` rejection pattern in the Commander adapter. The two modes share one `SkillSessionInvocation` discriminant (`mode: 'migrate' | 'upgrade'`); `bin.ts` maps the mode to `dsh-${mode}`.
|
|
|
|
The `dsh-migrate` skill is bundled under `skills/` (shipped through `DSH_BUNDLED_SKILL_DIR`, like `dsh-upgrade`). It asks which source agent (opencode/pi/Claude Code/Codex) if unstated, then maps each capability — workspace instructions, personal overlay, skills, hooks, MCP, API/env — to its DSH equivalent, grounded in the actual repo surfaces (the `hooks-claude`/`hooks-codex` bridges, `~/.dsh/{config.yaml,.env,AGENTS.md,skills/}`, `AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md`, `mcporter`), and states plainly when a capability has no equivalent.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
`apps/cli/tests/args.spec.ts` gains routing for `migrate`/`upgrade` (bare discriminant) and exit-1 for every leaked option on either side of each subcommand.
|
|
|
|
`packages/ui/tui/tests/tui.spec.ts` gains two fake-terminal cases in the existing skill describe block: `config.initialSkill` set delivers the rendered skill body as the first turn with no user input, and an unknown initial skill reports a notice without sending. `runSkillSession` itself is composition inside the module's `v8 ignore` block, like `runTui`/`runMeta`.
|
|
|
|
No keyless PTY snapshot: per the maintainer's scope call for this change, unit coverage plus interactive verification suffices, and the seed rides the already-snapshotted `/skill:` render path. Both commands were verified interactively in tmux from a scratch cwd: `dsh migrate` loaded `dsh-migrate` and asked which source agent; `dsh upgrade` loaded `dsh-upgrade`, which pulled in `dsh-customize` and began checkout discovery.
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives considered
|
|
|
|
**Prefill the input and let the user press Enter.** Rejected: needs a new editor-prefill seam and still requires a keystroke. Auto-submit reuses `invokeSkill` and delivers the intended one-command entry.
|
|
|
|
**Seed a natural-language instruction ("use the dsh-migrate skill…") instead of `/skill:<name>`.** Rejected here: the literal skill-invocation path renders the skill body into the first turn deterministically, identical to the manual command, rather than depending on the model choosing to load the skill.
|
|
|
|
**Support `--resume` on `migrate`/`upgrade`.** Rejected: these are one-shot guided entries. A resumed session is an ordinary TUI session reachable through the default surface's `dsh --resume <id>`; re-injecting the skill on resume would duplicate the first turn.
|
|
|
|
**Read `INITIAL_SKILL_KEY` outside the TUI (as `CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY` is read by `agent-loop`) rather than in the TUI's `apply()`.** Not needed: `initialSkill` is a TUI `Config` field consumed in `createTuiChat`, so folding the slot into config at the TUI entry keeps it beside the other launcher-owned runtime reads (`tuiResumeHost`, `tuiGoodbyeMessage`) and touches no other plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
Migrating or upgrading is one command from anywhere, with the guiding skill already invoked. The launcher→TUI initial-skill slot is reusable by any future guided-session command; the TUI's contract is "invoke this named skill once at startup," and freshness/resume policy stays with the launcher that owns session identity. The [TUI skill slash command](2026-07-21-tui-skill-slash-command.md) remains the mechanism; this note adds a launcher-driven auto-invocation of it and does not supersede it.
