About this plugin

In lengthy coding or creative conversations, the context accumulates with numerous decisions and works-in-progress. At such moments, a simple clarification can easily divert the main agent's attention from its core task. The dsh-side-chat plugin is designed precisely for this scenario, opening a focused 'drawer' for you to ask temporary side questions.

Its core strength lies in intelligent context inheritance and complete isolation. The plugin skillfully starts a separate child conversation runtime from the point right after the latest completed turn in the main conversation, while the parent dialogue continues running undisturbed. The side chat is strictly read-only, enforced through a sandbox mode and strict tool visibility controls to prevent accidental modification or interference with your main workspace.

This plugin is especially suited for professionals who engage in long-term collaboration with AI, such as developers, writers, or researchers. When you are deeply exploring a complex project in the main conversation, you need not worry that an impromptu query will derail your train of thought, nor do you need to exit your current workflow. You can summon the side chat at any time for quick consultations, notes, or brainstorming; once done, simply close it, and the main conversation's progress and state will remain fully intact.
