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.

HUD Floating Bar

An always-on-top floating HUD chat bar for DeepSeek Harness: live session transcript (markdown rendering, streaming output), workspace / session / model / reasoning-effort switching, and Picture-in-Picture (PiP) detach — pop the HUD into an OS-level always-on-top window (Chrome/Edge), usable over any other app.

简体中文

Official bundle plugin for DeepSeek Harness.

Features

  • Floating HUD bar — draggable, resizable, always-on-top overlay inside the web UI
  • Live transcript — realtime conversation with markdown rendering and streaming cursor; tool calls shown compactly
  • Switchers — workspace / session / model (grouped by provider) / reasoning effort, also inline above the composer
  • Send / Stop generating — the primary button turns into 停止生成 while the agent is running, like the main web composer
  • Approval notice — a banner appears when any session awaits a permission approval, telling you to approve in the main UI
  • Picture-in-Picture detach — Chrome/Edge 116+: pop the HUD into an OS-level always-on-top PiP window; works across other apps
  • Pin / follow — pin the HUD to one session or follow the active one
  • Keyboard: Enter send, Shift+Enter newline, Esc close (in-page)

Install

Requires a DSH web profile (0.1.0-rc.6+).

From a local checkout (bundle dir contains the built artifacts):

dsh plugin --profile web add "/path/to/hud-floating-bar"

Or from git (artifacts checked in, one-line install):

dsh plugin --profile web add "github:blktea814/hud-bar-for-dsh#main"

Then restart the web app. The HUD bar appears at the top-left of the page; the sidebar footer also gets a toggle button.

Usage

  • Type a message, press Enter to send — the reply streams into the bar (and the main conversation, same session)
  • Above the input: model / reasoning effort selectors; the primary button turns into 停止生成 while the agent runs
  • Top row: status dot, session title, 外置 (PiP detach), pin/follow, close
  • Second row: workspace / session selectors
  • Drag the header to move, drag the bottom-right corner to resize
  • Esc or Ctrl+Shift+H closes the in-page bar

Package layout

hud-floating-bar/
├── package.json         # dsh.bundle + dsh.client manifest
├── cordis.patch.yml     # bundle layer: inserts the Node half
├── index.mjs            # Node half: /hud-api/* JSON endpoints
└── client/index.js      # browser bundle: HUD UI (__ModuleLoader__.load)

The Node half serves five same-origin endpoints:

EndpointPurpose
GET /hud-api/surface?sessionId=Incremental transcript rows + agent status + pending approvals
POST /hud-api/sendSend a user message (official agent inbox)
GET /hud-api/model?sessionId=Model catalog + current selection
POST /hud-api/set-modelSwitch model / reasoning effort (next turn)
POST /hud-api/stopStop the running agent

Notes

  • PiP detach requires Chrome/Edge 116+ (documentPictureInPicture); Safari/Firefox fall back to the in-page bar.
  • Model switches take effect on the next agent step and are also saved as the default selection.
  • Permission approvals are handled by the official main-UI approval card; the HUD only notifies you when one is pending.
