Introduction

dsh-ide-context

English | 中文

A DeepSeek Harness bundle that carries what you are doing in your IDE right now into each model turn: the files currently open and the current text selection (file path, zero-based line/character range, selected text).

It reads the Claude Code IDE integration bridge — the same ~/.claude/ide/<port>.lock files and MCP-over-WebSocket protocol the Claude Code CLI uses — so one bundle serves both IntelliJ IDEA and Visual Studio Code.

Install

dsh plugin add github:LSAI2023/dsh-ide-context

Then boot a profile that lists this bundle:

dsh --profile web

Config

Users override any key in their profile's cordis.patch.yml (it applies after every bundle layer):

- id: ide-context
  config:
    refreshIntervalMs: 30000  # optional; omit or 0 to inject on every changed turn
    pollIntervalMs: 5000      # optional; how often opened files / selection are polled
    lockDir: ~/.claude/ide    # optional; where the IDE <port>.lock files live

refreshIntervalMs must be a non-negative safe integer. Omission or 0 injects whenever the IDE state changed since the last injection; a positive value additionally suppresses injections within that many milliseconds of the latest one. pollIntervalMs defaults to 5000. lockDir defaults to ~/.claude/ide.

What the model sees

On each turn whose IDE state changed, one source-tagged context message like:

ide context (turn 1):
ide: IntelliJ IDEA
opened files (2):
- /work/project/src/main/java/com/example/Main.java
- /work/project/pom.xml
The user selected lines 15 to 19 from /work/project/src/main/java/com/example/Main.java:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("hello");
    }

This may or may not be related to the current task.

The selection block uses Claude Code's editor-selection structure: a 1-based inclusive line range, the selected text, and a fixed "may or may not be related" tail. Opened files are resolved by the IDE whose workspace exactly matches the session's working directory, falling back to the newest lock when none matches.

Requirements

  • A running Claude Code IDE session that has written a valid ~/.claude/ide/<port>.lock file.
  • The sandbox must permit reading ~/.claude/ide; when it does not, the plugin logs a warning and injects nothing.

Notes

  • Workspace matching — the bridge prefers the IDE whose workspaceFolders contains the session's working directory (exact or a parent directory), then falls back to the newest lock. With both IntelliJ and VS Code open, the project you launched dsh from wins.
  • Project-scoped results — opened files and the selection are filtered to the session's working directory and the matched IDE's workspaceFolders; files from unrelated projects and virtual documents (git:, output:, …) are dropped so only the current project's context is returned.
  • IntelliJ selection is push-based — a selection made before the plugin connected is not backfilled; VS Code additionally supports polling.
  • The runtime peer dependency @deepseek-ai/dsh-llm and dependency @deepseek-ai/schemastery resolve from the DeepSeek Harness installation.

Development

This repository is self-contained: the TypeScript source lives in src/ and builds to the published index.js (and invariant.js) with esbuild.

npm install         # devDependencies (esbuild, typescript, @types/node)
npm run build       # bundle src/index.ts and src/invariant.ts -> index.js / invariant.js
npm test            # live MCP-over-WebSocket smoke test against a local fake IDE bridge

The build keeps @deepseek-ai/* and node:* external, so the runtime dependencies resolve from the DeepSeek Harness installation exactly as before.

index.js and invariant.js are committed build artifacts: the package is consumed directly from GitHub as compiled JS, so they must stay in sync with src/. After editing src/, run npm run build (or npm run check:build to rebuild and fail if the artifacts drift). A one-time node install-hooks.mjs enables a pre-commit check, and CI enforces the same guard.

Source

The implementation is split into focused modules under src/:

  • src/index.ts — assembly entry point: re-exports the public API and wires the pre-step listener.
  • src/types.ts — domain model (IdeSnapshot, IdeSelection) and configuration schema.
  • src/constants.ts — shared names, defaults, and tunables.
  • src/platform.ts — path/URI handling behind a Platform seam (Windows-ready).
  • src/lock.ts — lock-file discovery and workspace selection.
  • src/ws.ts — zero-dependency RFC 6455 WebSocket client.
  • src/protocol.ts — MCP tool-result parsing.
  • src/bridge.ts — connection lifecycle + snapshot maintenance (IdeBridge).
  • src/format.ts — snapshot rendering behind a SelectionRenderStrategy.
  • src/invariant.ts — the package-owned invariant companion (registered as @deepseek-ai/dsh-ide-context/invariant).
  • tests/ide-context.spec.ts — unit tests ported from the DeepSeek Harness repository's packages/context/ide-context/.
