dsh-kanban

English | 简体中文

A DeepSeek Harness (dsh) plugin that turns a Jira Server / Data Center + GitLab board into a kanban the agent can actually work — every DSH workspace is a board project, the model drives the board through tools, and a floating panel in the session header gives you the human view.

Highlights

• One project per DSH workspace. The board derives one project from every workspace: its own Jira connection, GitLab connection, and local-repo config, plus its own cached issues.
• The panel follows your workspace. Open the board from the session-header 「看板」button; the panel tracks the currently selected session and reloads for that workspace's project automatically. Switch sessions → the board follows.
• Auto-sync on open. Each project syncs from Jira once per panel session (cached issues show instantly; the sync runs in the background). After configuring Jira, it syncs once as well.
• Grouped board for narrow panels. Status groups with category accents, collapsible sections, counts, and client-side search. Move an issue via click → detail → transition buttons (keyboard friendly).
• Full issue detail. Rendered description (Jira images proxied through the host so the browser needs no token), attachment links, transitions, comments with paste/attach image upload, and a lightbox.
• Create issues with Jira's own metadata. The form is driven by Jira's createmeta API: required markers, auto-selected issue type, priority beside type, assignee search, chip-style multi-value fields (components/labels), and inline error reporting from Jira.
• GitLab workspace. Issues and merge requests with state filters, search, open-in-GitLab links, create-an-issue from selected Jira issues, link Jira, create an MR (existing/new branch, branch preview, linked issues).
• Send-to-session analysis. From the issue detail, push an analyze-only request into the current session — or a brand-new session in the current workspace — through the official ISession.prompt / workspaces.startSession() entry points. Image attachments ride along as image content parts (base64), so vision-capable models can actually see them; the instruction tells the agent to pull live data with kanban-issue and to analyze without modifying anything.
• Agent-side tools with rich chat rendering. Tool results render as board columns, issue details, project lists, and sync stats directly in the conversation.
• Bilingual UI. Every surface follows the harness locale setting (中文 / English) and re-renders on language switch.

Install as a bundle (for users)

dsh plugin --profile demo add /path/to/dsh-ui-kanban
# or from git
dsh plugin --profile demo add github:you/dsh-ui-kanban

On pnpm ≥10 the first git-dependency prepare is refused; add the package to the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml allowBuilds and retry.

Verify the config layer and boot:

dsh --profile demo --dump-config     # should show a "# == dsh-kanban" layer
dsh --profile demo

For the Web GUI + config card, use the web profile:

pnpm build
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-ui-kanban
dsh web

Configuration

The dsh-kanban settings namespace resolves: schema defaults → cordis.yml base → user document. Common settings are at the top; projects are nested.

- insert:
    - id: dsh-kanban
      name: dsh-kanban
      config:
        dataDir: ''            # empty => ~/.dsh/kanban (env KANBAN_DATA_DIR wins)
        allowSelfSigned: true  # common default for GitLab self-signed TLS
        verbose: false
        jira:                  # GLOBAL Jira host + token, inherited by every workspace
          baseUrl: 'https://jira.example.com'
          apiToken: ''
        gitlab:                # GLOBAL GitLab host + token, inherited by every workspace
          baseUrl: ''          # e.g. https://gitlab.example.com
          apiToken: ''
        projects:              # per-workspace OVERRIDES (keyed by workspace id)
          - id: default        # workspace id
            name: Default      # optional display override (default = workspace title)
            jira:
              projectKey: 'PROJ'
              jql: ''          # `project = <key>` is auto-prepended
            gitlab:
              project: ''      # group/repo or full URL (auto-normalized)
            localRepo:
              directory: ''    # empty => the workspace's own path

The board auto-derives one project per DSH workspace (id = workspace id, name = workspace title, localRepo.directory defaults to the workspace path). Every workspace inherits the global Jira / GitLab host + token; projects only carries the per-workspace overrides the user changes. The "current project" follows the current session's workspace — there is no global activeProject.

Jira tokens and GitLab tokens are role('secret'); the GUI card edits only the global host/token (a blank password keeps the host-side secret), and per-workspace connection overrides are managed with the kanban-configure tool.

The floating panel

Opened from the session-header 「看板」button (conversation.session.header.utilities → shell.overlay). The panel:

• follows the currently selected session's workspace (falls back to the opening session when none is selected) and reloads when it changes;
• auto-syncs each project once per panel session, then silently refreshes;
• shows a status-grouped issue list: category color accents, collapsible groups, issue counts, and client-side search (key / summary / assignee / status);
• opens the issue detail on click (Enter/Space works): rendered description, attachment links, transitions as action buttons, comments with image paste/attach, and the 「丢进会话分析」action;
• hosts the GitLab workspace (issues / merge requests, create from Jira, link Jira, create MR) and the settings dialog (Jira / GitLab connections).

What it gives the agent

The host half registers 14 model-callable tools. Real Jira/GitLab work (and the on-disk issue cache) stays in the host half — nothing Jira/GitLab ships to the browser, and tokens are role('secret') so the web surface never echoes them.

Tool	Purpose
kanban-projects	List projects (workspaces), their Jira keys, sync state, active one.
kanban-set-active-project	Set which project tools operate on by default.
kanban-configure	Set a project's Jira / GitLab / local-repo connection.
kanban-sync	Pull issues from Jira into the local cache (added/updated counts).
kanban-issues	Read the cached board, grouped by status column.
kanban-issue	Live detail: description, attachments, transitions, comments, canDelete.
kanban-move	Move an issue via a workflow transition.
kanban-create	Create a Jira issue (and cache it).
kanban-comment	Comment on an issue.
kanban-gitlab-issues	GitLab issues (with linked Jira keys + MR).
kanban-gitlab-mrs	GitLab MRs (with issues + Jira keys).
kanban-gitlab-create-issue	Create one GitLab issue from one or more Jira issues.
kanban-gitlab-create-mr	Create a GitLab MR (optionally from a new branch).
kanban-gitlab-link-jira	Link Jira keys to a GitLab issue.

Send-to-session analysis

The issue detail has a 「丢进会话分析」 action. After a confirm dialog (current session / new session in the current workspace):

1. the panel sends a prompt through the official ISession.prompt entry point (new sessions go through workspaces.startSession(), which creates and opens a session in the current workspace);
2. the message carries only the issue key plus an instruction to call kanban-issue for the latest details and to analyze without modifying anything — the agent pulls live data through the tool, and the chat renders it with the same rich toolview;
3. image attachments are fetched through the host proxy and attached as image content parts (base64), so vision-capable models see them; text-only models degrade gracefully (the harness substitutes a text placeholder).

Local development

From a deepseek-harness checkout root, load this repo's source via overlay (host half only, no install):

cp dev/cordis.example.yml dev/cordis.yml   # template -> local file (gitignored)
# edit dev/cordis.yml: set `name` to this repo's absolute path
pnpm dsh web --patch /absolute/path/to/dsh-ui-kanban/dev/cordis.yml

To test the browser-half config card, install into a profile (see above).

Run the checks:

pnpm install
pnpm typecheck
pnpm build
node test/smoke.mjs

test/smoke.mjs verifies the host module loads and registers the tools, the settings-namespace wiring, the backend resolving projects offline, and that the browser lib/client.js executes its __ModuleLoader__ handshake.

How the browser half works

• package.json declares dsh.client: { platform: "web" } + exports["./client"]; dsh's client-modules loads lib/client.js as a browser plugin.
• src/client/index.ts registers the surfaces — the config card (settings.plugin.item), custom tool-result views (tool.call.toolview keyed by the kanban tool names), and a session-scoped floating panel opened from the session header "看板" button (conversation.session.header.utilities → shell.overlay), the only entry to the interactive board. See docs/ui-surfaces.md.
• The board renders from the structured output.presentationMeta the host half emits for each tool call; no arbitrary RPC to the host is needed.
• Runtime client deps: react only; everything else (icons, modals, toasts) is inlined. All colors ride the host theme variables (--dsw-alias-*), so light and dark themes adapt automatically.

Making it your own

Rename the package consistently across package.json name, src/index.ts name/NAMESPACE, cordis.patch.yml id/name, the client bundle id in tsdown.config.ts, and src/client/constants.ts. Add/remove fields in src/config.ts (Config + schema) and mirror scalar fields in the config card.

Publishing

• npm: pnpm publish
• tarball: pnpm pack, then dsh plugin add ./dsh-kanban-0.1.0.tgz
• git: dsh plugin add github:you/dsh-ui-kanban
