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.

dsh-chat-customizer

中文

A client plugin for the DSH (DeepSeek Harness) web profile that turns the sidebar into a dual-mode navigation and adds deep chat appearance customization.

Features

  • Dual-mode sidebarSessions (the stock workspace/session tree) and Contacts (agent presets as a chat-app contact list) tabs, with a New Session button in sessions mode.
  • Contacts mode — one row per agent preset (avatar placeholder + name + status). A single session opens directly, multiple sessions expand into a chooser, and none starts a new session bound to that preset through the host flow (agentPresets.select), so the binding survives refresh.
  • Session-row agent tag — the workspace browser labels each session with the agent preset it runs (needs the optional ui-workspace patch, see below).
  • DIY panel — a sidebar footer "DIY" button opens an appearance panel:

- Accent / button / chat text colors (presets + custom pickers). - Per-agent wallpaper sets: local images (multi-select), image URLs, and gradient presets; immersive translucent bubbles; auto-advance interval.

  • Wallpaper carousel — a floating control bar on the conversation (prev / count / next / auto toggle) whenever the current agent owns two or more wallpapers. Switching sessions swaps to that agent's set.

Requirements

  • A DSH checkout at 0.1.0-rc.5 with the web frontend built (pnpm run build:web).
  • Node ≥ 22, pnpm ≥ 10.

Install

From the directory where you keep this repository (absolute paths work too):

dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-chat-customizer

or from a DSH checkout:

pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-chat-customizer

The plugin joins the web profile's bundle stack, disables the stock ui-sidebar, and mounts the dual-mode shell. Restart the web server (dsh web) for the plugin set to take effect.

> The repo ships a prebuilt lib/, so installation works without building.

Build from source

pnpm install
pnpm build

Building needs the @deepseek-ai/* peer types resolvable — install version-matched peers, or run the build inside a DSH checkout that has them linked.

ui-workspace patch (optional, enables the row agent tag)

The session-row agent tag rides a generic row-level slot (sidebar.workspaces.row.agent) that stock ui-workspace does not declare. Without the patch the tag simply doesn't render; everything else works.

patches/ui-workspace/ holds the five modified stock files. Copy them over your checkout's packages/client/ui-workspace/src/... (back up the originals first), rebuild ui-workspace (tsc -b + tsdown --env.DSH_BUILD_FACE client), and restart dsh web. See patches/PATCH.md.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-chat-customizer

Restart dsh web to return to the stock sidebar.
