Introduction

DeepSeek Harness (DSH) emphasizes an “everything is a plugin” architecture. In real-world development and usage, developers often need to frequently adjust model parameters, manage input files, or configure retry policies for network requests. When these operations are constrained by the interaction style of the default interface, efficiency can be significantly reduced. To address these UI pain points, targeted UI enhancement tools are needed.

What Is This

bittersmilezzz/dsh-ui-tweaks is a client plugin for DeepSeek Harness, maintained by user bitterSmilezzz. It aims to extend UI capabilities to address DSH limitations in model selection, file handling, and request configuration, providing a more flexible operational interface.

Core Features

The plugin provides the following UI-level enhancements:

  • Model selector enhancement: Adds a reasoning intensity slider to the model selection interface, making it easy to quickly adjust parameters.
  • File upload methods: Supports uploading files by pasting or dragging and dropping, simplifying the workflow.
  • Plugin list optimization: Enhances the display of the plugin list.
  • Request retry configuration: Provides a more convenient entry point for configuring request retries.

  • Desktop notifications: Adds desktop notifications to provide timely status feedback.

Installation and Activation

No specific installation command is provided. The plugin can be reviewed and managed through the community directory.

Typical Usage

Based on the plugin’s core features, typical usage includes:
1. Adjust the reasoning intensity using the slider on the model selection interface.
2. Select a file to upload, then drag it directly into the DSH interface or paste its contents.
3. Set the number of request retries or the retry policy in the configuration area.
4. Configure global keyboard shortcuts to trigger desktop notifications or specific actions.

Applicable Scenarios and Notes

This plugin is suitable for DSH users who need to frequently adjust model parameters, rely on file uploads, or need enhanced desktop feedback.
