dsh-session-categories
English | 中文
Organize your DeepSeek Harness sidebar into custom session categories. Each workspace gets its own folder tree — drag sessions into folders, create sessions right inside a category, and keep related work together.
Highlights
- Zero-config takeover — the bundle patch automatically disables the official workspace browser and mounts the category tree. Install, restart, done.
- Per-workspace categories — every workspace keeps its own independent folder structure.
- Drag & drop — move sessions between categories, reorder categories by dragging.
- Full official experience preserved — built on a fork of the official UI: search, rename, fork, archive, and workspace actions all still work.
- Folders are cheap — create a session directly inside any category (reuses the workspace blank session, one less drag).
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add @zizaiwo/dsh-session-categories
Restart DSH. No further configuration — the patch disables the official ui-workspace and the category tree takes over the sidebar.
Manual profile registration:
{
"dependencies": { "@zizaiwo/dsh-session-categories": "^0.1.0" },
"dsh": { "profile": { "bundles": [ "...official bundles...", "@zizaiwo/dsh-session-categories" ] } }
}
Quick start
- Install and restart — every existing session appears under an Uncategorized group per workspace.
- Click ＋ New category, type a name, press Enter.
- Drag a session onto a category folder — it moves in. One session, one category.
- Hover a category for ✎ rename / 🗑 delete (two-click confirm; sessions return to Uncategorized).
Features
- Category management: create, rename, delete (delete keeps your sessions, just ungroups them)
- Category ordering: drag folders to reorder (per workspace; drag to "Uncategorized" = move to end)
- Move sessions: drag sessions between categories
- Create sessions in place: hover a folder and hit ＋
- Per-workspace isolation of category config
- Official capabilities preserved: rename / fork / archive, workspace rename / delete / new session, search
Compatibility
- Targets the current dsh prerelease plugin APIs (
0.1.0-rc era). dsh is in developer preview and does not promise pre-release compatibility — upgrade dsh and this plugin together.
Data
Category data lives in {workspace}/.dsh/session-categories.json (falls back to {workspace}/session-categories.json when .dsh is absent). Shape: { version: 1, categories: [{id, name, createdAt}], sessionCategory: {sessionId: categoryId} } — sessions without a record are uncategorized. Writes are atomic (tmp + rename).
For maintainers
Architecture
- Client (
client.js): fork of the official dsh-client-ui-workspace; the WorkspaceBrowser grouping layer is replaced by a CategoryTree (reusing official ProjectRowItem / SessionNodeItem and CSS modules).
- Host (
index.js): webServer route at /api/dsh-session-categories (loopback-only) persisting category data with node:fs (atomic write: tmp + rename).
- Data channel: plain HTTP via the official web server — see "Why not harness.handle" below.
Why not harness.handle / host.call
Those are dynamic-plugin-only private RPCs that die on process restart — unavailable to regular repository plugins. This plugin uses the official webServer route instead (same pattern as dsh-ssh).
Why the plugin disables the official ui-workspace
This plugin forks the official client and registers the same slot. Slot rules allow sidebar.workspaces.directoryFlow to be declared by only one entry, and renderSlot only injects into the occupant that declares the child slot — so the official entry must be disabled for this plugin to take over. The patch does this automatically (id: ui-workspace, short name).
Development
- No build step: plain JS host (
index.js) + bundled client (client.js)
- Validate:
