Introduction

In the DSH (DeepSeek Harness) or agent development process, Windows absolute paths frequently appear in messages. When the need arises to view files or open directories, users typically have to manually copy the path, switch windows, and paste it into the File Explorer. Such small operations interrupt the workflow.

dsh-path-reveal is a DeepSeek Harness plugin designed to turn Windows absolute paths within messages into clickable elements: file paths open the containing folder and highlight the selection, while directory paths open directly.

What is This

dsh-path-reveal is maintained by futongxu9-maker and is licensed under the MIT license.

It addresses a specific problem: quickly locating Windows file or directory paths within DSH messages, thereby reducing the steps of copy-pasting and manually opening the File Explorer.

The DeepSeek Harness plugin ecosystem emphasizes “everything is a plugin.” The community directory is an independent site with no official affiliation to DeepSeek/Huafang and should not be understood as an official app store.

Core Features

dsh-path-reveal currently provides the following capabilities:

  • Automatically identifies Windows absolute paths within inline code in messages, including drive paths C:\... and UNC paths \\server\share\....
  • File paths open the containing folder and highlight the selection.
  • Directory paths open directly.
  • Remains available after page refresh, new sessions, or service restarts, provided by the host plugin and client package.

Installation and Activation

Use the following command to install:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:futongxu9-maker/dsh-path-reveal

After installation, simply refresh the page or restart the service.

If you use a manual installation method, you will also need to refresh the page or restart the service after completing the installation.

Typical Usage

You will see inline code like this in DSH messages:

C:\Users\me\project\file.ts

Simply click the path. The File Explorer will open the corresponding folder and select file.ts.

If the path points to a directory, the File Explorer will open that directory directly.

Use Cases and Notes

This plugin is suitable for Windows environments, depends on explorer.exe, and requires DeepSeek Harness rc.6+.

Please note the following when using:

  • Returns 404 not-found if the path does not exist; the client retains the original text.
  • The exit code is 1 when Explorer reuses an open window; this is a normal result and should not be considered an error.
  • The plugin runs with the permissions of the current dsh process. It is recommended to check the source code and license before installation. The license for this plugin is MIT.

Closing

dsh-path-reveal turns Windows paths in DSH messages into clickable entry points, making it ideal for scenarios where you need to frequently check file locations or open directories.
