Dsh Desktop

Not a pluginunknownfreshinstall scripts

An independent, open-source desktop wrapper for DeepSeek Harness. It starts the bundled @deepseek-ai/dsh Web UI locally and loads it in a hardened Electron window on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Install Dsh Desktop

Installs but activates nothing: package.json has no `dsh.bundle` declaration, so `dsh plugin` warns and loads no config layer.

This repository is not a DSH plugin

Its package.json declares no dsh.bundle. In the official docs' own words, a package like this “still installs, but only as a plain dependency: dsh plugin prints a warning and activates no layer”. The install looks like it worked and nothing happens.

What it actually is: An independent, open-source desktop wrapper for DeepSeek Harness. It starts the bundled @deepseek-ai/dsh Web UI locally and loads it in a hardened Electron window on Linux, macOS, and Windows. If that is what you came for, use it directly from the repository — it is just not something dsh plugin add can activate.

Before you run itinstall scripts

This package declares postinstall — package-manager lifecycle scripts that execute on your machine at install time, outside the agent sandbox, before any tool-approval prompt exists.
A plugin runs with your permissions once loaded: it can read your files, use your credentials and reach the network. Tool approvals do not sandbox it.
Installing from git resolves a moving branch. Pin a commit — github:liguobao/dsh-desktop#<commit-sha> — so the code you reviewed is the code you install.

From the README

Excerpt as published by the author, plain text, unedited

An independent, open-source desktop wrapper for [DeepSeek Harness](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness). It starts the bundled `@deepseek-ai/dsh` Web UI locally and loads it in a hardened Electron window on Linux, macOS, and Windows. > DeepSeek Harness is currently a developer preview and may introduce breaking changes. DSH Desktop ships a tested, pinned Harness version as its reproducible default and recovery fallback. - No separate Node.js, npm, or `npx` installation is required for release builds. - Uses a random free loopback port instead of assuming port `3080` is available. - Shows immediate, stage-based startup progress while the local Harness becomes ready. - Starts and stops the Harness server together with the desktop application. - Provides a direct Plugins menu with
