dsh-character-profiler

中文说明

DSH writing plugin: character personality profiling + appearance-weight statistics + behavioral-drift detection. Quantified consistency monitoring for long-form fiction — every character's personality stays grounded, verifiable, and drift-free.

Features

How it works

• Profile cards are written to lore/profiles/<character-key>.md under the project. That directory lives under lore/, which the writing engine auto-injects into later drafting context — while drafting, the model keeps seeing each character's consistency red lines, reducing drift at the source.
• Appearance stats auto-derive short names from character card titles ("玛丽安娜·霍斯顿" → 玛丽安娜 / 玛丽 / 霍斯顿); after a profile is generated, LLM-extracted aliases are merged in, getting more accurate with use.
• Drift detection compares against the profile card by default; it falls back to the character card when no profile exists and suggests running novel_profile first.

Installation

Recommended: one-line install via the DSH plugin command dsh plugin --profile web add github:MlittleFriend/dsh-character-profiler, then restart dsh web (equivalent to the local script below, without manually copying the directory).

1. Put this directory (dsh-character-profiler/) somewhere convenient (e.g. next to your project).
2. Run install.ps1 (right-click → Run with PowerShell; or powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1).
3. Restart dsh web (close the current window and re-run your launch command). After restart, a tool:character-profiler prompt section should appear in the console.
4. In a new session you can call novel_profile / novel_appearance / novel_deviation / novel_profiler_status.

The install script automatically: installs the package into ~/.dsh/profiles/web, adds the plugin to bundles, and registers the plugin row in the profile's cordis.patch.yml. API config (apiKey/baseURL/model) is inherited at runtime from the dsh-tool-writing row — the key lives in one place only (the tool-writing patch config or an environment variable), no duplication.

Suggested workflow

Start of each volume:  novel_profiler_status   → see who lacks a profile, whose share looks off
New character:         novel_profile           → create a profile card
Routine check:         novel_appearance        → is any character's weight/share imbalanced?
After a few chapters:  novel_deviation         → check for behavioral drift
Arc shift:             novel_profile           → update the profile (old card is overwritten)

FAQ

• Character names not matching? Add a line like - 别称：玛丽 / 老头子 to the character card, or run novel_profile once to have the LLM extract aliases.
• Drift detection always says "consistent"? Profiles are distilled from the text, so self-consistency is expected; detection is meaningful after new chapters change behavior. Use perChapter/maxParagraphs to tune granularity.
• Characters without a card (like "卡尔" in the text) are not counted or checked; novel_appearance will prompt you to add a card.

Development & verification

test-local.mjs drives the engine directly without restarting the GUI (needs DSH_WRITING_API_KEY or reads the key from the profile patch):

node test-local.mjs --stats --root "project-directory"
node test-local.mjs --profile <character-key> --root "project-directory"
node test-local.mjs --deviation <character-key> --root "project-directory"
