dsh-open

English | 中文

A standalone DeepSeek Harness Web plugin that adds a compact split Open action to each conversation header, listing dock panels, the platform file manager, and your editors.

What it does

• The main icon opens the last selected available target.
• The chevron lists registered dock panels, the platform file manager, and editors selected by $VISUAL and $EDITOR.
• With one available target, the control collapses to one button.
• Internal tools use ctx.dock.open(panelId) and appear only while their panel is registered.
• Native actions are resolved on the Host. The browser sends only a session id and a closed action id; it cannot choose a filesystem path or executable.
• Same-origin checks, bounded request bodies, environment scrubbing, and a launch timeout protect native invocation.

Install

Requires dsh-dock, the dsh CLI (Node.js 22.19+ or 24), and pnpm 10+.

From npm

dsh plugin --profile web add @mattismegevand/dsh-open

From GitHub

dsh plugin --profile web add github:mattismegevand/dsh-open

Git installs fetch sources, so pnpm runs the package's prepare build on first add. pnpm ≥10 refuses that until you allow it: copy the exact package key pnpm printed into the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml allowBuilds entry, then re-run the same add.

Develop locally

git clone https://github.com/mattismegevand/dsh-open.git
cd dsh-open
corepack pnpm install
corepack pnpm check:all
dsh plugin --profile web add .

The shipped patch inserts the Host row automatically.

Configuration

- id: open
  name: '@mattismegevand/dsh-open'
  config:
    preferredAction: visual
    terminalPanelId: terminal
    maxRequestBytes: 8192
    launchTimeoutMs: 10000

The configured action is the initial preference for a fresh browser profile. Menu selection updates a browser-local preference. $VISUAL and $EDITOR are resolved on PATH and deduplicated. The file-manager action uses Finder on macOS, File Explorer on Windows, and the system opener on Linux.

Related plugins

Model experience

Workspace Open UI

What the model sees

Nothing. The plugin launches UI panels or native applications from a human-operated browser control and registers no prompt, tool schema, or model-visible message.

Token effect

Zero tokens are added to model requests or responses.

KV Cache effect

None. Selecting or launching an Open target does not alter the model input prefix.

Known limitations

• Native capability discovery runs when the client store loads and is not refreshed while that store remains mounted.
• Native launch failures are surfaced as concise errors; platform-specific recovery actions such as revealing Finder permission settings are not implemented.
• Internal targets depend on live dock registrations, and native targets remain local-host only.
