Yogacara (Consciousness Only) Self Model Plugin
DeepSeek Harness's Yogācāra (Consciousness Only) Self Model Plug-in: Eight Consciousnesses, 51 Mental Factors, Aromatic Seed Bank, and the Measurable Self - Written back in Agent's Own Prompt.
Project overview
A self-model plugin for DeepSeek Harness, built on the Yogācāra (唯识) account of mind: eight consciousnesses, the 51 mental factors, a store of seeds perfumed by what happens, and a self that is measured rather than assumed — written back into the agent's own system prompt each turn. Why Yogācāra and not a mood variable
An agent that only ever knows the task has no way to notice that it is churning, that it is defending a position, or that this is the fourth time it has run the same failing command with a small variation. Bolting on mood: frustrated does not fix that, because a mood is not actionable.
The plugin contributes a system-prompt section (order 300). A quiet mind renders nothing at all, so the section disappears.
