ds-notify-plugin
Windows desktop toast notifications for DeepSeek Harness (dsh). Pops a native Windows toast (bottom-right banner) whenever the main conversation finishes a turn, so you can look away while a long reply is being generated.
> DeepSeek Harness(dsh)主对话完成通知插件:主对话每轮完成后,用 Windows 系统 > toast(右下角通知横幅)提醒你。
 
Features · 功能
- Windows only · 仅 Windows — on other platforms the plugin is a no-op.
非 Windows 平台自动不生效。
- Main conversation only · 仅主对话 — toasts only when a root (main
conversation) agent finishes a turn; subagents and workflow agents don't trigger it. 只有主对话完成时通知;子代理、工作流 agent 完成不打扰。
- Conversation title in the toast · 通知带对话标题 — the toast names the
conversation that finished (its auto-generated or user-renamed title), so you know at a glance which one it is; a conversation without a title yet keeps the original fixed text. 通知会写明是哪个对话完成(自动生成或手动 重命名的标题),一眼可知;尚无标题的对话保留原有固定文案。
- Debounced · 防抖合并 — completion signals within 1.5 s are merged into one
toast. 1.5 秒内的连续完成信号合并为一条通知。
- Zero dependencies · 零依赖 — drives the built-in
powershell.exe+ WinRT
ToastNotificationManager; nothing to install. 调用 Windows 自带的 PowerShell + WinRT,不装任何第三方模块。
- No dsh files modified · 不修改 dsh 安装文件 — upgrades of dsh won't
overwrite or break it. 升级 dsh 不受影响。
Requirements · 前置条件
- Windows 10 / 11 (uses the built-in
powershell.exe) - DeepSeek Harness (
dsh) pnpmon PATH (pnpm --versionmust work)- GitHub route only · 仅 GitHub 安装方式:
giton PATH (pnpm clones the repo
automatically)
Install · 安装
This plugin ships as a bundle (dsh.bundle.patch pointing to an in-package cordis.patch.yml). dsh plugin appends it to the profile's dsh.profile.bundles automatically — no manual composition edits on the receiving side, and nothing to download or copy by hand: one command fetches and installs the package. 无需手动下载或复制文件,一条命令即可安装。
After installing, restart dsh. The plugin then loads automatically on every start, with no approval required. 安装后重启 dsh,之后每次启动自动加载。
From npm · 从 npm 安装(推荐)
dsh plugin --profile web add ds-notify-pluginFrom GitHub · 从 GitHub 安装
dsh plugin --profile web add github:JohnWes7/ds-notify-pluginThe plugin has zero dependencies and no build step, so nothing needs to be allowed in the receiving side's pnpm-workspace.yaml. 插件零依赖、无构建 脚本,接收方无需放行任何构建。
Local directory · 本地目录(开发 / 离线)
1. Put this directory in a stable location. 2. From its parent directory, run:
``powershell cd D:\dsh\plugin dsh plugin --profile web add link:./ds-notify-plugin ``
- link: creates a symlink so code edits take effect immediately (recommended while developing); - file:./ds-notify-plugin copies the directory instead.
To install into another profile, replace web with that profile's name in any of the commands above. 把上面命令里的 web 换成目标 profile 名即可装到 其他 profile。
Uninstall · 卸载
dsh plugin --profile web remove ds-notify-pluginRestart dsh afterwards.
How it works · 工作原理
1. The plugin listens for the agent/status event (broadcast up to the root context). 2. On idle — a turn finished, covering normal completion, errors, and interruption — it checks agents.roots() and ignores subagents. 3. A 1.5 s debounce merges burst signals, then the conversation title is read from the session log via the sessionTitle service (latest session/title event; the toast falls back to fixed text when there is none yet). 4. It spawns powershell.exe (hidden window, stdio: 'ignore') to show a WinRT toast via ToastNotificationManager, with the title XML-escaped into the body line. 4. The toast uses the registered "Windows PowerShell" AUMID so a non-packaged process can display toasts reliably.
FAQ · 常见问题
- No toast after a turn completes · 对话完成后没弹通知
1. Windows Focus Assist / Do Not Disturb silently drops toasts — turn it off. 检查"专注助手 / 勿扰模式",开着会吞掉 toast。 2. Check whether notifications for the "Windows PowerShell" app are disabled in Windows notification settings. 检查 Windows 通知设置里 "Windows PowerShell" 应用的通知是否被禁用。 3. Confirm the profile's dsh.profile.bundles contains ds-notify-plugin and dsh was restarted. 确认 profile 的 bundles 列表包含本插件且已重启 dsh。
- **The toast source shows "Windows PowerShell" · 通知来源显示为 Windows
PowerShell** — intentional: the plugin borrows PowerShell's registered shortcut identity (AUMID) so toasts display reliably from a non-packaged process. 这是有意为之(借用 PowerShell 的快捷方式身份让非打包进程的 toast 可靠显示),属正常现象。
- The toast has no conversation title · 通知里没有对话标题 — a brand-new
conversation may not have a title committed yet when its first turn ends; the toast then keeps the original fixed text. If an older conversation's toast is still titleless, check %TEMP%\ds-notify-plugin.log: every toast decision is appended there as one JSON line (service/session presence and the resolved title; the file self-caps at 64 KiB, dropping the oldest half). 全新对话在首轮结束时可能还没生成标题,此时保留原固定文案;若旧对话的通知 仍无标题,查看 %TEMP%\ds-notify-plugin.log,每次通知决策都会追加一行 JSON (服务/会话是否存在、解析出的标题;文件上限 64 KiB,超出时自动丢弃最旧的一半)。
