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 File Picker

A portable DeepSeek Harness Web GUI bundle that lets you search for and select files or directories anywhere on the local DSH host, then makes the chosen paths available to the active conversation.

It is designed for paths outside the current workspace: Downloads, Desktop, another project, or any other readable host directory. Search is a non-recursive, case-insensitive name filter within the currently open directory.

Install

Install the versioned GitHub release into the default web DSH profile:

npx --yes github:shaomingbo/dsh-file-picker#v0.2.0

For a different profile:

npx --yes github:shaomingbo/dsh-file-picker#v0.2.0 --profile web

Restart DSH and refresh the existing Web GUI. The installer adds the package dependency and its Cordis bundle row to ~/.dsh/profiles/<profile>/package.json and runs pnpm install.

Use

1. Open a normal DSH Web conversation. 2. Click πŸ“ in the composer tool row. 3. Browse the host filesystem or filter the current directory with the search field. 4. Select files and directories with their checkboxes. Clicking a directory name opens it; Select this folder selects the directory currently shown in the path bar. 5. Click Apply, then send your next prompt. The model receives the selected paths in a <selected_paths> context block. It can use read for files and glob or grep to inspect directories when appropriate.

Files and directories can be mixed in one selection, up to 32 paths. Applying a new selection replaces the selection for that conversation. Clear removes it. The selection is kept only in the running DSH process; restart DSH to discard it.

Security and privacy

  • The picker returns paths and entry kinds only; it never reads or uploads file contents and never recursively scans a selected directory.
  • Search filters names in the current directory only; it does not traverse subdirectories.
  • The selected paths are sent only to the model as conversation context after you apply them.
  • Its private browser-to-host RPC is limited to localhost/loopback browsers. This intentionally prevents filesystem browsing from a remote Web GUI authority.
  • It accepts only regular files and directories for selection; devices and sockets cannot enter the selected-path context.

Compatibility

This bundle targets the current DSH Web profile architecture (dsh.client, connection.rpc, systemPrompt.context, and the conversation.input.left / shell.overlay slots). It has been checked against DSH 0.1.0-rc.6.

Update

Run the installer for the desired release tag:

npx --yes github:shaomingbo/dsh-file-picker#v0.2.0

Then restart DSH and refresh the Web GUI.

Uninstall

Remove dsh-file-picker from both dependencies and dsh.profile.bundles in your profile's package.json, run pnpm install from that profile directory, then restart DSH.

Development

npm run check

The tests exercise the host filesystem/RPC and prompt-context behavior using a temporary directory. The browser bundle is syntax-checked as part of the same command.
