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-chrome-app-launcher

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that creates a Windows desktop shortcut which launches dsh web in a Chrome app-mode window (no address bar / no tabs).

What it does

On every boot (Windows only), the plugin:

1. Writes a small launcher .bat into %LOCALAPPDATA%\dsh-chrome-app-launcher\launch-dsh.bat 2. Creates a Desktop shortcut DeepSeek Harness.lnk pointing at it

Double-clicking the shortcut:

  • auto-detects Chrome (registry App Paths first, then common paths, then Edge as fallback)
  • starts dsh web --no-open in the background
  • waits for the port to become ready
  • opens the Web GUI in a Chrome app-mode window (with a fresh --user-data-dir so it is a real standalone app window even when Chrome is already running)
  • closing that terminal window stops the service

Configuration

Configure via settings.yaml (or the bundle patch):

chrome-app-launcher:
  shortcutName: DeepSeek Harness   # shortcut label
  port: 3080                       # dsh web port

Platform

Windows only (win32). On other platforms the plugin is a no-op.
