dsh-worktable 🖥️

English · 简体中文

An agent-project workbench for DeepSeek Harness — a sidebar app drawer that turns every project into dockable windows, plus a built-in control room that watches them all in real time.

	🖥️ Control room — the built-in default project: a live card grid watching every project (working / needs you / done) with glassmorphism cards on a blueprint grid
	🧩 Worktable sidebar — the app drawer: projects, shortcuts and the pinned control-room entry
	🪟 Our projects — every project opens as a dockable split workspace (resident apps like Travel Atlas included)

✨ Feature tour

🧩 Sidebar app drawer

• Collects your self-hosted projects (and resident plugins like dsh-travelatlas) in one place
• Rename / icon / reorder / hide each project; per-project folder; project ↔ conversation binding — opening a project switches the chat pane to its bound conversation
• Collapse the sidebar and every project becomes a tappable square tile (icon only)

🪟 Dockable split workspace

• Declarative layout presets (left column / top row / main grid + right chat pane)
• Draggable dividers, per-pane tabs, per-layout width persistence
• Built-in panes: file explorer, terminal, browser, animation site, custom window
• Custom window: send a requirement to a new or existing conversation; the agent builds it and the result auto-mounts into the window (locked)

🖥️ Control room (built-in default project)

• A pinned, undeletable first project — bind one management conversation on first open
• 3-column card grid mirrors every project: working / needs you / done with live runtime, subagent counts and a cleaned message preview
• Event-driven host snapshot mirroring — zero polling, zero tokens
• Glassmorphism cards, dark / light / system theme, neon status glows and a rotating comet on busy cards

At a glance

🧩 Plugin type	Cordis plugin — host routes + web client, pure additive (no official plugin replaced)
🪟 Workspace engine	Self-built split engine rendered into the host shell overlay seat
💬 Chat pane	Reuses the host conversation — the plugin only selects sessions (sessions.open)
📡 Status data	Mirror of the host session runtime snapshots (subscription-driven)
💾 State	localStorage only (dsh.worktable.*); no workspace files touched
🎨 UI	TypeScript + React (host externals) + vanilla CSS, dark-first with light theme

Quick start

1. Install: dsh plugin --profile web add "link:<repo>/01_content" and register dsh-worktable in the profile bundle list
2. Restart the DSH web process, refresh the GUI
3. Open the control room: click the pinned 🖥️ control-room card → bind one conversation (join existing or create new) → you get the live card grid
4. Create projects: sidebar ＋ → pick a layout preset, set a project folder

Architecture

One package ships the host Cordis plugin and the web client:

• host: /api/worktable/* routes — health, file system, git, file read/write, site serving, mkdir, workspaces, native skin template; WebSocket /api/worktable/term for the terminal pane (PowerShell on Windows)
• client: injected into the sidebar and the shell overlay via the slot protocol; the split engine, tab model, drag/drop and persistence are self-built
• control room: reads the host session list snapshot (running / pending / completed, jobs, subagent catalogs) — an event-driven mirror, no model involvement
• window tasks: the agent writes widget-result.json into the project folder on completion; the client mounts the artifact into the addressed window and locks it

---

Development & testing

cd 01_content
npm install
npm run build     # lib/index.js + lib/client.js
node --check lib/index.js

• Build must run inside 01_content — building from the repo root writes lib/ to the wrong place while the host keeps loading the old bundle
• The client bundle keeps the window.__ModuleLoader__.load handshake; react and @deepseek-ai/* stay external
• Regression: 04_test/functional-diag.cjs (20 steps) plus targeted probes (control room, bind panel, collapsed rail, model inheritance)

---

Known limits

• State lives in the browser (localStorage) — projects, bindings and views do not sync across machines
• The terminal pane is a plain PowerShell host on Windows (no PTY feature parity with the native terminal app)
• Auto-mount requires the agent to actually write widget-result.json in the project folder
• The control room monitors projects that are bound to a conversation; unbound projects show as idle

---

Privacy

No telemetry, no network calls beyond the host APIs and the plugin routes. All user state stays in localStorage.
