Install

Add DSH-better-sidebar to DeepSeek Harness

via npm

Resolves a published tarball rather than cloning the repository, and installs without any extra setup. Swap `web` for your profile name if you run another one.

via GitHub · npm package

Installing from GitHub runs the project's build script, which pnpm blocks until you allowlist it — run the command once and pnpm prints the exact key to add under `allowBuilds` in ~/.dsh/profiles/web/pnpm-workspace.yaml.

Due diligence

Before you install DSH-better-sidebar

  • Source of record: omdsh-dev/DSH-better-sidebar — present in the community registry that DSH's own plugin market installs from.
  • Licensed under MIT.
  • Detected: terminal surface. Read the source before granting these.
  • A listing here is not a security review. Plugins run with your agent's permissions.

The AI take

What it is — DSH-better-sidebar is a sidebar workbench framework providing file rendering and editing, real terminal, Git panel and subagent support.

Who it is for — When you need to display file resources and perform code editing, terminal operations and Git panel in DeepSeek Harness tasks, users are suitable for installation if they require terminal tools. If your work only involves the default sidebar without real terminal, you can skip installation.

Watch out — It passed sandbox testing in a new profile and was registered into the profile by DeepSeek Harness. No obvious issues were found. The shell command execution is for the real terminal feature.

The verdict — I would install it because it exposes the sidebar capabilities as a service allowing third-party plugins to register new tabs equally.

Generated by grok-4.6, and a starting point rather than a verdict. Where it says a plugin installs or does not, that is from a real run in a clean profile — everything else is read off the repository. Trust the source over this.

What DSH-better-sidebar does

Abstract flow of files, processes, shell access and extensions into split workspaces.

DSH-better-sidebar is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that adds a service-backed workbench to the sidebar and bottom panel. It includes a file explorer with lazy-loaded directories, CodeMirror editing, inline rendering for images, Markdown, HTML and PDF, an embedded browser, a Git panel, background-task and subagent views, and a real shell terminal. Tabs can be moved, split and merged across the two work areas, with layouts and tabs persisted per session.

The plugin is mounted through the package's dsh.bundle.patch, using cordis.patch.yml; it does not modify DSH source. Its shared ctx.betterSidebar service lets built-in and third-party plugins register tabs and file viewers through registerTab and registerFileViewer. The service also exposes capability detection, state subscription, tab lifecycle callbacks, targeted opening, persistent meta, plugin settings, and external-link handling. The workbench writes its session layout and tab state to the DSH profile's persisted state.

It suits agents that need files, Git, web content and task supervision in one work area, and plugin authors that need to add sidebar surfaces. It is the wrong choice when a separate sidebar is unnecessary or when granting the agent a shell is unacceptable: the terminal reaches a real shell through xterm.js and node-pty, and terminal_* tools can optionally be exposed to the model. Node.js ≥ 20, pnpm ≥ 10, and a working DSH web profile are required; Windows may need VS Build Tools if a matching node-pty binary is unavailable.

DSH-better-sidebar documentation

Requirements

The README requires an existing DSH installation where dsh web runs successfully, plus Node.js ≥ 20 and pnpm ≥ 10. The web profile is expected at ~/.dsh/profiles/web; running dsh web initialises it if it does not exist. On Windows, the terminal depends on a compatible prebuilt node-pty binary. If none exists for the installed Node version, VS Build Tools may be required.

Installation scripts and package mounting

The repository provides scripts/install.sh for macOS/Linux and scripts/install.ps1 for PowerShell. The scripts prepare pnpm settings, register the package through the DSH plugin mechanism, detect dsh.bundle.patch, and mount the bundle through dsh.profile.bundles. They also remove an old manual better-sidebar mount from cordis.patch.yml to avoid duplicate sidebars. The scripts support a version argument, --restart, and --dry-run; PowerShell uses -Version, -Restart, and -DryRun.

Configuration and behaviour

Settings are exposed as independent cards, with secondary options in a gear dialog. HTTP links open in the sidebar and HTTPS links in the system browser by default; these destinations can be adjusted separately. Position compatibility mode is off by default and can reserve 0–120px above the sidebar for a Windows native title bar. The interface follows the DSH zh/en language and loads heavy terminal and editor dependencies on demand.

Plugin service API

Third-party plugins use ctx.betterSidebar. The documented service includes registerTab, registerFileViewer, getSnapshot, subscribeState, updateTab, activateTab, and openFile. Tabs support onOpen, onActivate, onClose, badges, meta, urlTarget, and plugin-owned settings through pluginToggles and render. The terminal is a real shell backed by xterm.js and node-pty; reconnection can replay disconnected output, and terminal_* tools are optional.

dsh-web

What it is — Aggregates plugins for DeepSeek Harness Web GUI, providing performance engine, task board, mobile remote control, and SSH operations.

Who it is for — Developers using DeepSeek Harness Web GUI for multi-session AI tasks and performance monitoring are suitable for this plugin. Users relying solely on pure text model interactions without image understanding can do without it.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: installed in a new profile and registered into the profile by harness. Installation requires sourcing from GitHub. Static checks indicate shell command execution.

The verdict — I would install it because it decomposes features into independent plugins for selective use without modifying official code.

dsh-web-ui-all

What it is — This is a plugin and skin collection for the DeepSeek Harness Web UI, including Liangshen mode, task board, Git graph, right panel, mobile remote UI, SSH operations, whale girl pet, and skin center.

Who it is for — If you are using DeepSeek V4 Pro for agent tasks and need multi-column task board and Git graph to track changes, this plugin is suitable for you. If you primarily operate DeepSeek Harness in non-Web UI interfaces, you don't need this collection.

Watch out — Installation from the source subdirectory requires manually approving the build script. No sandbox testing was conducted. No obvious issues were found.

The verdict — I would install it because it provides the whale girl pet and SSH remote operations.

dsh-task-board

What it is — Sidebar multi-column kanban plugin for DeepSeek Harness web GUI whose cards run in real DSH agent sessions and support cron expressions executed host-side even with the browser closed.

Who it is for — Scenarios requiring multi-column task tracking while using DSH for agent sessions suit this plugin for those lacking sidebar kanban capability. If your workflow focuses on real-time file operations or SSH connections rather than task scheduling, you need not install this plugin.

Watch out — No obvious pitfalls found. From source installation you need to manually allow its build script first since the plugin will execute shell commands.

The verdict — I would install it because it supports cards running in real DSH agent sessions and cron expressions for host-side execution even when the browser is closed.
