UI Enhancements

What it is — dsh-task-board provides a sidebar multi-column kanban for real DSH agent sessions and cron-scheduled tasks executed host-side.

Who it is for — When you need to execute and schedule AI agent tasks using DeepSeek Harness, dsh-task-board is suitable as it supplies multi-column boards and host-side cron execution.

Users who do not schedule AI tasks can consider plugins focused only on basic session management because their workflows do not require kanban scheduling.

Watch out — Sandbox testing confirmed successful installation and registration into a fresh profile with no obvious performance or compatibility issues.

The verdict — If your work requires host-side cron execution of AI tasks even with the browser closed, I would install it because it supports that exact capability.

What it is — DSH Web UI plugin and skin collection including task board, Git visualization, right-side panel, mobile remote UI, pet, and live token stats.

Who it is for — Suitable when needing to schedule AI agent tasks or manage remote servers via SSH. Users who do not require custom model capabilities or session archiving do not need it.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed in new profile and registered by harness. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it supports pairing the same link for mobile and PC, but the premise is having DSH Web UI.

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.

What it is — DSH-better-sidebar is a sidebar workbench that supports file rendering, code editing, terminal execution, Git operations, and subagents, with third-party plugins able to register new tabs via the same API.

Who it is for — When using DeepSeek Harness and DSH models for code file processing that requires sidebar display of files, terminal output, and Git changes, this plugin provides complete workbench capabilities. If your work involves only pure text interaction without file or terminal tools, you can consider other lightweight interface solutions because it is prepared for multi-functional file management scenarios.

Watch out — Tested successfully in a fresh profile, registered into the harness profile. Installation involves executing shell commands for dependencies. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it integrates sidebar support for files and terminal; the trade-off is handling build dependencies during installation.

What it is — dsh-TUI is a full-screen terminal UI plugin.

Who it is for — When you need to display real-time status line and session history in the terminal. For users who primarily use graphical interface tools.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed. Installed in a new profile and registered by harness. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it can be launched as a VS Code plugin.

What it is — A whale widget placed in the bottom right corner of the DeepSeek Harness web GUI for displaying balance and usage.

Who it is for — For users of the DeepSeek Harness web interface who need to monitor balance and usage in the bottom right corner, this plugin is suitable. Users who do not use the DSH web GUI may not need this plugin because it is designed specifically for the web interface.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: installed in a fresh profile and registered by harness. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because the sandbox test passed and it is local-only with no telemetry.

What it is — DeepSeek Harness plugin providing visual design studio for websites, app prototypes, posters, cards, reports and magazines, with templates, direct element editing, selection-aware AI draft handoff and export.

Who it is for — If you are using DeepSeek Harness to describe requirements and generate website or app prototypes, you can install this plugin.

If you do not require selection-aware AI draft handoff for element-level edits, you do not need it.

Watch out — No obvious pitfalls found in static analysis. Sandbox testing has not been conducted. Real project files are saved in Harness workspace.

The verdict — If I need to hand off AI drafts at the element level for editable design files, I would install it because it provides a practical workflow for design iteration.

What it is — DeepSeek Harness video plugin, providing editable timeline, animation and media controls, templates, and AI draft handoff with validation, preview, and export.

Who it is for — Users creating dynamic visuals, product demos, and data stories are suitable for this plugin. Teams focused on static design can choose not to install the video plugin.

Watch out — Plugin project directories are isolated and do not overwrite each other. Static checks found no issues. No obvious pitfalls found.

The verdict — I would install it because it integrates timeline editing and video export support.

What it is — dsh-desktop-base is a desktop feature aggregator. It integrates the DSH Web UI collection, dshmarket, Codex Connect and reasoning-effort controls into a Windows desktop application.

Who it is for — If you run DeepSeek Harness on Windows and need task board, Git graph, pet and SSH remote features integrated, you can install dsh-desktop-base. If you deploy DeepSeek Harness mainly on servers or have already installed other desktop solutions, you do not need to install it.

Watch out — You must manually allow the build script to execute shell commands when installing from source. Sandbox testing has not been performed, so security risks from shell execution cannot be ruled out. No obvious pitfalls found.

The verdict — I would install it because it provides an integrated DSH desktop interface for Windows users, but only if you accept the sub-directory plugin installation requirements.

What it is — Enables typing @ in the composer to search workspace files and insert path references.

Who it is for — If you are using an existing DeepSeek Harness web setup and need to reference workspace files via @ in the composer, this plugin fits your need. It is not suitable for new installations because the official version already includes the built-in feature—use the official one instead.

Watch out — The sandbox test passed: installed in a fresh profile and registered by Harness. No issues found in static checks. No obvious pitfalls found.

The verdict — I would install it because it is the maintenance option for existing DeepSeek Harness setups.

What it is — ThoughtDAG provides an editable conversation canvas in DeepSeek Harness, with graph connections deciding the model's next context.

Who it is for — When conducting multi-agent conversation research on DeepSeek Harness, users who need to connect thoughts visually to select context are suitable for installing it. If your work is limited to single-turn simple queries, you don't need to install it.

Watch out — Installation requires Node 22.19+ and DeepSeek Harness 0.1.2-rc or later. Sandbox testing passed in a fresh profile with no obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it if I need to manage multi-agent conversation contexts visually, because the graph connections decide what the model sees next, but only if DeepSeek Harness is already installed.

What it is — In the DeepSeek Harness composer, search workspace files and insert path references.

Who it is for — When building tasks with DeepSeek Harness web interface if the agent needs workspace file references, this plugin applies. If you use file reference methods outside the web interface, this plugin does not apply.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: installed in a new profile and registered into the harness profile. Path existence confirmation runs before the agent starts a step. No obvious pitfalls found.

The verdict — I would install it because it confirms path existence before the agent begins steps and adds references for reliable file referencing.

What it is — Turns a model's reply into an inline interactive UI surface with components like layouts, charts, forms, quizzes, and 3D scenes.

Who it is for — In DeepSeek Harness for data analysis and monitoring tasks, users who need interactive panels are suitable for this plugin. Users who prefer pure text responses in non-DSH environments do not need this plugin.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: installed in a fresh profile and registered into the profile by harness. Requires providing an API key or token. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it enables dynamic UI elements in replies, but only if using a supported DSH version where the host activates the client.

What it is — dsh-tianshu-tui is an official DeepSeek Harness terminal UI plugin. It uses a self-developed ANSI minimal engine to render agent status streams and includes engineering-layer customizations such as image bridging and code retrieval.

Who it is for — Developers monitoring agent states in a DeepSeek Harness TUI profile are suitable for installing it. Users not using the terminal interface do not need this plugin.

Watch out — Sandbox testing passed: installed in a clean profile and registered with harness. It executes shell commands and requires manual approval of the build script. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it supplies engineering-layer customizations for agent monitoring in terminal workflows.

What it is — DSH can embed interactive HTML cards in the conversation stream.

Who it is for — When you need to display simulators, charts, comparison panels or UI mockups in the conversation, this plugin makes the interface more intuitive. Users who only require pure text interaction don't need it, because it is limited to Web UI.

Watch out — Installation from source requires manually allowing the build script. Sandbox testing passed. No obvious pitfalls found.

The verdict — I would install it because it allows the conversation to include interactive content, which is more complete than text output alone.

What it is — Provides a browser Web UI for the pi coding agent, supporting streaming conversations, file management, and terminal operations.

Who it is for — Users running the pi coding agent within DeepSeek Harness who need to inspect tool calls, manage files, and use a built-in terminal should install this plugin. Users who prefer backend-only agent workflows without web interface support do not need it.

Watch out — Sandbox testing indicates it can be installed but pnpm blocks build scripts for @google/genai@1.52.0 and node-pty@1.1.0, requiring manual permission for the build to complete. It requires Node.js ≥ 22.19 and a configured pi install. No other issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it enables browser-based management of the pi agent's streaming interactions and file operations, but the build must be manually allowed first. If only using the CLI, a simpler approach is sufficient.

What it is — Provides pop-out sidebar in DSH to list artifacts and file tree.

Who it is for — When running DSH agent tasks requiring display of artifacts and file tree, users who need this are suitable to install this plugin. Users who prefer sidebar plugins to be fully integrated without pop-out can choose not to install this plugin because this plugin coexists with other sidebar plugins.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: installed in fresh profile and registered by Harness. It will execute shell commands but no obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it coexists with other sidebar plugins.

What it is — SeekTTY is a terminal workspace plugin for DeepSeek Harness.

Who it is for — When managing complex sessions and plugins in DeepSeek Harness, SeekTTY can be used. If you only need built-in terminal features without additional session persistence, you can skip it because Harness provides native terminal support.

Watch out — Sandbox testing passed after installation in a new profile with Harness registration. The plugin executes shell commands. No other obvious issues found.

The verdict — If I need a terminal workspace for session management, I would install it because it integrates native Harness services into the terminal surface.

What it is — DeepSeek Harness OpenPencil plugin integrates OpenPencil into conversations for previewing, inspecting, and editing real .op documents.

Who it is for — It is suitable when an agent handles multi-frame .op documents within DSH workflows.
Users not working with design document preview or editing can skip it.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: installed into a fresh profile and registered by harness.
Shell command execution is only a static check note, not a defect.
No other obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it supplies exact multi-frame .op previews and managed editor tools.

What it is — In DeepSeek Harness, provides a recall strip for unprocessed steering messages before model reads them.

Who it is for — Users sending steering messages during model runs in DeepSeek Harness can recall them before the model processes them. Users who interact only with queued messages via official deletion do not need this plugin.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed on a fresh profile, where the plugin can be enabled and the strip displays normally. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it provides the recall function for steering messages that the official interface lacks, with no configuration required as the sandbox test confirmed.

What it is — In DeepSeek Harness Web UI, it automatically sends “Continue” to resume work when requests are interrupted by network, timeout or host-crash failures.

Who it is for — When using DeepSeek Harness Web GUI for request tasks and requests are interrupted by network, timeout or host-crash failures, needing automatic “Continue” to resume agent work. If you use other tools that don't depend on DeepSeek Harness Web GUI, you don't need to install it.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed in a fresh profile where the plugin got registered into the harness. The engine runs inside the host process so it keeps watching even when all browser tabs are closed. No obvious pit found.

The verdict — I would not install it because it targets specific interrupt scenarios and no significant issues were found in testing.

What it is — dsh-annotation is a DeepSeek Harness web plugin that supports annotating selected text from assistant replies, with the annotation sent along when submitting the message so the model can reply to each annotation numbered.

Who it is for — When conducting multi-turn conversations in DSH web and needing to annotate specific parts of assistant replies to help guide the model's answers, this plugin is suitable. If the user is using desktop shell DSH rather than the web version or does not need to accumulate annotations across messages, this plugin is not applicable.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed in a fresh profile after installation and registration. No obvious issues found. Static check only indicates it will execute shell commands, which is not a defect.

The verdict — I would install it if I need to annotate across conversation turns because it enables the model to reply to each annotation numbered.

What it is — Agents can build interactive interfaces with React and TypeScript, saving user choices for later agent turns.

Who it is for — When tasks require visualizing complex relationships or making connected choices like calendar planning or photosynthesis exploration using DeepSeek Harness, this plugin offers better interaction than text alone. If your profile is TUI or headless rather than Web, you do not need to install it.

Watch out — Successfully tested in sandbox on a new profile where it was registered to DeepSeek Harness. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because saved interaction states let later agents continue tasks without repeating user inputs.
