Introduction

The core philosophy of DeepSeek Harness (DSH) is “Everything is a plugin.” When using agents for software development, tasks often go beyond code generation, including frequent Git operations, file browsing, and terminal interaction. A clear sidebar and convenient project management shortcuts can significantly improve efficiency. The dsh-sidebar plugin is designed exactly for this purpose: it does not depend on modifying host source code, and directly provides sidebar capabilities for DSH sessions.

Plugin Positioning

This is a DSH client plugin maintained by wannanbigpig. It addresses the lack of visual project navigation and convenient Git/Worktree operation entry points for the current agent session.

Core Features

The plugin provides the following capabilities:

  • Editable Highlighting: Sidebar content supports highlighting and allows direct editing.
  • Git Review/Commit: Provides interactive entry points for Git review and commit.
  • Worktree: Supports Git Worktree operations.
  • Interactive PTY: Integrates an interactive terminal in the sidebar.

Installation and Enabling

The plugin repository does not provide a specific installation command. Please install it using one of the following methods:

[The official installation command should be inserted here, but it is missing from the source material]

Or visit Skill Center catalog page for installation instructions.

Use Cases and Cautions

  • Use Cases: Suitable for users who need to manage Git, view project file structures, or run terminal commands directly from the sidebar within an agent session.
  • Cautions:
    • The plugin runs with the permissions of the current DSH session. Project operations are limited to cwd (the current working directory).
    • Please inspect the source code before installation, because license information is missing. Confirm whether it complies with your usage requirements.

Summary

Overall, dsh-sidebar focuses on providing a visual project management and Git interaction interface. If you need a sidebar tool that is non-invasive to the host and focused on the current session environment, you can view its GitHub repository.
