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-browser

Browser automation for DeepSeek Harness: a Playwright-powered browser_* tool family so the agent can drive real web pages — fill forms, click through flows, scrape SPA content, and take screenshots it can then view with read_image.

Install

dsh plugin --profile <name> add dsh-browser

The plugin depends on playwright-core (bundled with the package) and needs a Chromium-based browser. It tries chromium, then chrome, then msedge channels automatically; if none is found:

npx playwright install chromium

or configure launch.executablePath / launch.channel in the plugin config.

Tools

ToolPurpose
browser_openOpen (or reuse) the browser, optionally navigate to a URL
browser_navigateNavigate the current page and wait for load
browser_clickClick an element by CSS selector
browser_typeType text into an input (optionally press Enter)
browser_selectSelect option(s) in a <select>
browser_screenshotCapture a PNG to <workspace>/browser-screenshots/; view it with read_image
browser_evalEvaluate JavaScript in the page, return JSON
browser_get_text / browser_get_htmlRead visible text or outer HTML
browser_waitWait for slow pages / lazy content
browser_closeClose the browser (reopenable by any tool)
browser_installExplain or verify browser availability

The browser persists across tool calls — open once, drive many times, close when done.

Configuration

FieldDefaultMeaning
launch.executablePathAbsolute path to a browser binary (takes precedence)
launch.channelauto (chromiumchromemsedge)Browser channel
launch.navigationTimeoutMsDefault navigation/action timeout
launch.viewport1280×800Page viewport
screenshotDirbrowser-screenshotsScreenshot directory under the workspace
# profile cordis.patch.yml
- id: browser
  config:
    launch:
      channel: chrome
      navigationTimeoutMs: 30000

Notes

  • Runs headless by default; a headed mode may come later.
  • Screenshots land in the calling agent's workspace so the model can read them with read_image.
