DeepSeek Harness (DSH) adopts a plugin architecture. When developing workflows, a visual interface is needed to manage tasks and track execution status. dsh-task-board is a GUI plugin that provides a Kanban view. It connects to real sessions to drive execution and supports hot mounting and local persistence.

What This Is

This is a DSH task board plugin maintained by ANITOCE. It does not modify DSH source code and operates as a hot mount. It provides a sidebar entry, a 5-column Kanban view, task details, real-session execution, status write-back, cron-based scheduled execution, and local persistence.

Core Features

  • Sidebar Entry: Injected below the “New Session” button in the DSH sidebar.
  • Five-Column Kanban: To Plan, To Do, In Progress, Completed, and Failed.
  • Task Details: Displays the description, execution Prompt, and execution records. Provides execute, delete, and view-session actions.
  • Real-Session Execution: Connects to the workspace through the client runtime. Pushes the task Prompt to the session queue. Session status (running/completed/failed) drives the status of Kanban cards.
  • Status Write-Back: Card status is driven by real session status. After refreshing the page, remaining in-progress tasks are automatically reconciled.
  • Scheduled Tasks: Supports 5-field cron parsing (minute, hour, day, month, weekday). Supports common presets (e.g., every 10 minutes). Once enabled, the next run time is calculated and persisted.
  • Local Persistence: Task data is stored in the browser’s localStorage.
  • SystemPrompt Injection: Injects a plugin:task-board section into each agent to declare plugin capabilities.
  • Hot Mounting: No DSH restart is required. After unmounting, the GUI returns to its original state.

Installation and Enablement

Use the following command to install the plugin:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:anitoce/dsh-task-board

Typical Usage

  1. After mounting, a “Task Board” entry appears below “New Session” in the sidebar.
  2. Click it to open the board. The top supports searching, creating new tasks, and returning to the conversation.
  3. Click a card to view its details. Click “Execute” to drive a real agent.
  4. Card status follows the session flow: In Progress → Completed/Failed.
  5. In the details panel, check “Scheduled Run” and select a preset (e.g., every 10 minutes). The card will display a scheduling indicator and automatically execute when due.

Use Cases and Notes

  • Browser Limitations: Scheduled execution runs inside the browser tab. The tab must remain open; background throttling may delay triggers.
  • Offline Installation: On Windows, if offline pnpm install is unavailable, the mount script falls back to a manual junction.
  • State Consistency: If the execution session is not open, after a task completes, the result text will be filled in the next time the board is opened.
