This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

A task-completion chime for the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Web GUI.

The moment a root agent turn finishes, it rings — even while the tab is in the background. Stop watching the task list; it will tell you the second you're done.

Quick Start

Option 1 — npm

dsh plugin --profile web add @hto404/dsh-chime

Option 2 — local folder

dsh plugin --profile web add link:C:\path\to\dsh-chime

Option 3 — manual

Place dsh-chime under node_modules/@hto404/ in your web profile, then append to ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml:

- insert:
    - id: chime
      name: '@hto404/dsh-chime'

Restart DSH (start-dsh.bat).

Using DSH Desktop? Install into the desktop profile instead:

dsh plugin --profile desktop add @hto404/dsh-chime

Settings are stored host-side (~/.dsh/dsh-chime/prefs.json), so your volume, mute state and chosen sound are shared across every environment — switch between the Web profile and DSH Desktop without re-configuring.

Usage

![Settings panel](docs/panel.svg)

Live demo — try the controls yourself: [docs/demo.html](docs/demo.html)

![Demo animation](docs/demo.gif)

1. Restart DSH and open the Web GUI. 2. Go to Settings → Plugins →「🔔 任务完成提示音」. 3. Pick a preset, import your own sound, drag the volume, or mute — all applied and saved instantly. 4. From then on, every finished task rings — even in a background tab.

> Didn't hear anything the first time? Click 测试声音 once to unlock the browser's autoplay policy — everything works after that.

How It Works

![Flow](docs/flow.svg)

RoleWhat it does
Host lib/index.jsListens to agent/status; queues a notification when a root agent turns idle; serves /dsh-chime/poll, /dsh-chime/presets, /dsh-chime/preset-audio
Client lib/client.jsPolls /dsh-chime/poll every 2s; plays the selected sound with Web Audio; the control panel lives in the settings.plugin.item slot

Rule of thumb: only root agents (main sessions) trigger the chime — intermediate subagent completions don't. A long task with a dozen subagents won't ping you mid-way; you hear it only when the final result lands.

Presets

Preset directory: $DSH_HOME/dsh-chime/sounds (default ~/.dsh/dsh-chime/sounds). The 10 bundled sounds are seeded there on first run. Drop any mp3/wav/ogg into that folder and restart the plugin to add your own.

PresetVibe
01-欢快铃声 · Cheerful BellLight and pleasant, like good news arriving
02-双声蜂鸣 · Double BeepClassic electronic, no-nonsense
03-消息弹出 · Message PopShort and light, presence without noise
04-确认音 · ConfirmationSteady and assured, the ritual of finishing
05-数字短音 · Quick ToneOne crisp note, unmistakable
06-快速叮咚 · Fast DingBright and loud, hardest to miss
07-气泡通知 · Bubble PopPlayful, a little cute
08-清亮提示音 · Clear ChimeAiry and mellow, for softer tastes
09-吉他通知 · Guitar AlertA warm chord, like someone calling you
10-游戏成功 · Game WinA rising sense of victory — task done!

Bundled sounds come from Mixkit Free Sound Effects under the Mixkit License (free for commercial use).

FAQ

<details> <summary><b>The task finished but nothing rang — why?</b></summary>

Check, in order: 1. Is Mute on, or the volume dragged to 0? 2. Was it a subagent? dsh-chime only rings for root agents (main sessions). 3. Did the browser block autoplay? Click 测试声音 once to unlock it.

</details>

<details> <summary><b>Can I hear it while the tab is in the background?</b></summary>

Yes. Web Audio playback doesn't depend on page visibility — that's the whole point of dsh-chime.

</details>

<details> <summary><b>How do I use my own sound?</b></summary>

Two ways: click 导入声音 in the panel and pick a local audio file, or drop an mp3/wav/ogg into the preset directory — it appears in the dropdown after a plugin restart.

</details>

<details> <summary><b>Do I need to re-enable it after a DSH restart?</b></summary>

No. dsh-chime is a static, composition-mounted plugin — it starts automatically with DSH, and your sound settings persist.

</details>

<details> <summary><b>My settings don't carry over between the Web profile and DSH Desktop?</b></summary>

They do — since v0.1.2 the plugin keeps its preferences host-side in ~/.dsh/dsh-chime/prefs.json (exposed via /dsh-chime/prefs), so volume, mute and the chosen sound are shared by every environment that mounts the plugin. If an old page still shows defaults, reload the page (or restart DSH Desktop).

If it saved you from one extra glance at the task list —

give it a ⭐ so more people who've been walked around by their agents find it.
