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-links

English | 简体中文

Make file paths in DeepSeek Harness replies clickable, previewable, and revealable — tested on Windows.

The problem

When an agent mentions a file path in its reply, that path is just plain text. To open it you have to find it yourself in a file manager. dsh-file-links turns those paths into blue clickable links with a context menu.

Features

  • 🖱 Click a path → open the file with the system default application
  • Right-click → Preview → view the file content inline in a panel (text / image)
  • Right-click → Reveal in Explorer → open the file manager with the file selected (Windows)
  • Right-click → Open → same as clicking the path

Why this one

Windows-firstMost community plugins were built and tested on macOS; Windows was "expected to work". This plugin is tested on Windows, including paths with Chinese characters and spaces.
Reuses the official openerOpening files goes through the official openPath (Invoke-Item on Windows) — no reinvented shell commands for the common case.
Zero runtime dependenciesPure Node built-ins + native DOM. No bundled framework.
UnobtrusiveOnly enhances paths already in the reply. No extra sidebar, no noisy "mentioned files" list.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:wmglimpser-hash/dsh-file-links

Then restart dsh web and refresh the browser.

> The plugin is a standard DSH bundle: it mounts a host half (two HTTP routes) and a client half (click handling + context menu + preview panel).

Usage

Any path wrapped in backticks in a reply (e.g. ` C:\project\README.md `) becomes a blue link:

  • Left-click the path → opens the file
  • Right-click the path → context menu with Open file / Preview / Reveal in Explorer

Only absolute paths are clickable: Windows drive paths (C:\..., C:/...), UNC paths (\\server\share\...), POSIX absolute paths (/home/...), and ~/.... Relative paths and bare filenames stay plain text — they cannot be resolved reliably because the session records the launch directory as its cwd, not the agent's actual working directory.

How it works

  • Host (lib/index.js): two routes

- POST /api/file-links/reveal → reveals the file in Explorer (explorer /select,"path"; directories open themselves) - POST /api/file-links/read → returns file content for inline preview (text as UTF-8, images as base64 data URIs; 512 KB cap)

  • Client (lib/client.js): recognizes path-like <code> nodes, styles them as links, adds a right-click context menu, and renders the preview panel (pure DOM, no framework).
  • Opening reuses the official ctx.workspaces.openPath() (which dispatches Invoke-Item on Windows).

Platform support

PlatformStatus
Windows✅ Tested (including Chinese / space-containing paths)
macOS / Linux⚠️ Not tested — the open and preview paths are platform-neutral; reveal uses explorer and is Windows-only

Known limitations

  • Reveal is Windows-only. The explorer /select, command is a Windows shell convention. On macOS/Linux the "Reveal in Explorer" menu item will not work (open and preview still do).
  • Preview is best-effort. Text and common image types preview inline; PDFs, Office documents, and binaries are refused with a message (use "Open" instead).
  • Only absolute paths are clickable. Relative paths and bare filenames are intentionally left as plain text (see Usage) — clicking them would silently fail because the session cwd is not the agent's working directory.
