dsh-quick-ask
ChatGPT-style side chat for DeepSeek Harness: a floating side panel in the
Web GUI where you can ask small questions about the current topic — answered by
an independent lightweight session that never touches the main
conversation.

Screenshots
Before — the default view. The floating quick-ask button sits on the right
edge of the chat view and stays out of the way:

After — the side panel open. Ask a question about the current topic; it is
answered by an independent side session, and the main conversation is left
untouched:

Features
- Isolated side session — questions run in a separate DSH session driven
through the official
/api RPC (session/create, session/prompt,
session/cancel) and streamed over the /api/remote.mux WebSocket. The main
conversation's history, queue, and agent are never affected.
- Topic-aware — the panel automatically attaches a snapshot of the visible
main conversation (plus any composer draft) as background context, so
answers stay on-topic. Can be disabled per question.
- Lightweight UX — streaming text, collapsible reasoning, tool-call chips,
stop button, queued questions, preset selector (agent presets from the
host), persistent history restore, theme-aware (follows DSH light/dark).
- Zero host logic — pure
client plugin (dsh.client.platform: "web"),
no server-side services, no dependencies.
- No interference — the side session shows up as its own session in the
session list (titled from its first question), exactly like a separate
ChatGPT chat.
Install
From the plugin market
-
Open the DeepSeek Harness plugin market and install dsh-quick-ask,
or from the CLI:
dsh plugin --profile <profile> add dsh-quick-ask
-
Reload the web page (a host restart is only needed if the market could not
hot-mount it).
Manual
pnpm add dsh-quick-ask # into your profile
# add "dsh-quick-ask" to dsh.profile.bundles in the profile package.json
Usage
- Click the floating chat button on the right edge of the chat view (or the
panel opens automatically if it was left open).
- Type a question and press Enter (Shift+Enter for a newline).
- 新话题 starts a fresh side session; 清屏 clears the panel display
only; 停止 cancels the current answer.
- Uncheck 附带主对话上下文 to ask without background context.
Development
node build.mjs # wraps src/client.js + src/style.css into lib/client.js
src/client.js — client plugin body (factory-form bundle body).src/style.css — panel styles (theme-aware via body[data-ds-dark-theme]).lib/index.js — no-op host half (required for the Loader entry).
