Introduction

If you are already using DeepSeek Harness (DSH) for plugin-based workflows, you might need a task board that does not rely on external services and keeps data local. ttmouse/dsh-taskboard is a local-first issue board plugin for dsh, providing views like Kanban / list / Gantt / workflow / dashboard, and saving task data in a local SQLite database.

Below is an introduction to its positioning, core capabilities, installation method, and things to note.

What is it

Released by ttmouse, ttmouse/dsh-taskboard is a local-first issue board plugin for DeepSeek Harness (dsh). It integrates task board capabilities into the DSH plugin ecosystem, supporting multi-view task management, task details, auto-claim execution, and workspace-to-project mapping.

Data is stored in a local SQLite database:

~/.dsh/storages/dsh-taskboard/taskboard.sqlite

Verified sources state: no external service, no cloud dependency.

It is also an open-source derivative of chuspeeism/dashi-taskboard (Codex Taskboard, Apache-2.0). The Web UI, server, and data model come from the upstream project. Regarding the license:

  • upstream Apache-2.0 portions retain the Apache License 2.0;
  • new and modified portions use the MIT License.

Core Capabilities

Multi-view Task Board

Supported views:

  • Kanban
  • list
  • Gantt
  • workflow
  • dashboard

Task Details

Task details include the following capabilities:

  • relations
  • attachments
  • labels
  • filters
  • per-task AI chat

Auto-claim and Execution

Auto-claim behavior is: each workspace-mapped project claims its oldest todo issue and executes it via dsh-routines (headless session), then writes progress back to comments.

Verified sources explicitly state: no heartbeat files, no daemon jobs.

Workspaces and Projects

DSH workspaces are automatically synced to board projects. It can be understood as:

Workspaces = projects

“Open in Conversation” opens the task in a real DSH session and records the thread ID on the task.

Installation and Enablement

Environment Requirements

Verified sources require:

node >=22.5

Installing the Plugin

First, execute the official installation command:

dsh plugin --profile web add @ttmouse/dsh-taskboard

Restart DSH Web after installation.

To view permissions, configuration, deactivation, and uninstallation instructions, check the repository’s:

plugin/README.md

Building from Source

If building from source is needed, the steps provided in the README are:

npm install
npm run build

Then assemble the plugin artifacts:

cd plugin && npm install && npm run build

Typical Usage

  1. Install the plugin:
dsh plugin --profile web add @ttmouse/dsh-taskboard

  1. After installation, restart DSH Web.

  2. Use multi-views in the task board: view Kanban, list, Gantt, workflow, dashboard.

  3. Use task detail capabilities in specific tasks: view relations, attachments, labels, filters, or use per-task AI chat.

  4. If you want to execute tasks automatically, let the todo issues in workspace-mapped projects be claimed and executed via dsh-routines in a headless session; progress will be written back to the task as comments.

  5. If permissions, configuration, deactivation, or uninstallation are involved, check:

plugin/README.md

Use Cases and Notes

Suitable for the following situations:

  • Need to map DSH workspaces to board projects;
  • Want task data stored in local SQLite, not relying on external services;
  • Need multi-views like Kanban / list / Gantt / workflow / dashboard;
  • Want to execute todo issues via dsh-routines in a headless session;
  • Need to reopen tasks to a real DSH session and record thread IDs.

Notes:

  • The plugin runs with the current dsh process permissions. It is recommended to check the source code, license, and permission documentation before installing.
  • The license consists of two types: upstream Apache-2.0 portions remain Apache License 2.0, and new/modified portions are MIT.
  • Data is written to the local SQLite path; backup and file permissions should be managed alongside the local database file.
  • This article is based solely on verified sources and does not include unverified star counts or directory page URLs.

Conclusion

ttmouse/dsh-taskboard puts local task boards, workspace projects, auto-claim, conversation links, and SQLite data storage into a single DSH plugin. GitHub repository:
