Introduction

In the plugin system of DeepSeek Harness, the session presentation of the WebUI can be adjusted via plugins. dsh-ui-concise is designed for the DeepSeek Harness WebUI, providing a Codex/macOS-style concise session mode. The repository is maintained by stars2022 and is licensed under MIT.

What is this

dsh-ui-concise is a session presentation plugin for the DeepSeek Harness WebUI. It organizes each Turn, tool calls, thinking content, and the final Assistant answer into a more compact view.

In package.json, dsh.client.platform is marked as web, and engines.node is declared as >=20.

Core Features

The capabilities listed below are from the repository README:

  • The settings page provides “Concise Mode” and “Hide Thinking Content” options.
  • Each Turn displays an independent timer: real-time timing while running, automatically collapsing after completion; staying expanded on interruption or failure.
  • Continuous tool calls within a Turn are merged into an activity bar; status messages like “Reading file” and “Editing file” are displayed during operation, and an operation summary is shown upon completion.
  • Expanding the activity bar allows viewing the original details and tool cards for each tool.
  • The final Assistant answer is kept outside the outer collapsible bar, preserving the normal view style for Markdown formatting and message operations.
  • After enabling “Hide Thinking Content”, “Thinking…” is displayed during the thinking process, and the thinking text is hidden upon completion.
  • Both Chinese and English interfaces are supported.

Installation and Usage

First, execute the installation command in the DeepSeek Harness root directory, then execute dsh web.

Install the plugin:

dsh plugin --profile web add \
  https://github.com/stars2022/dsh-ui-concise/releases/download/v0.1.3/dsh-ui-concise-0.1.3.tgz

Then start the Web interface:

dsh web

After entering the settings page, enable “Concise Mode”. If you need to reduce the visual space occupied by thinking text, also enable “Hide Thinking Content”.

Uninstall the plugin:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-ui-concise
dsh web

Typical Usage

After completing the installation steps above, you can use it as follows:

  1. Execute dsh web after installation is complete.
  2. Enable “Concise Mode” and “Hide Thinking Content” in the settings page.
  3. After starting a conversation, observe the independent timer for each Turn.
  4. When the model executes tools, continuous tool calls are merged into an activity bar; status prompts are visible during operation, and an operation summary is visible upon completion.
  5. Expand the activity bar to view the original details and tool cards for each tool.
  6. If “Hide Thinking Content” is enabled, “Thinking…” will be displayed during the thinking process, and the thinking text will be hidden upon completion.
  7. The final Assistant answer is kept outside the outer collapsible bar, allowing you to read Markdown and perform message operations in the normal view.

Applicable Scenarios and Notes

This plugin is suitable for users who want a more concise session view in the DeepSeek Harness WebUI, especially for scenarios where you need to frequently check tool call summaries but don’t want the intermediate process to occupy the entire screen.
