dsh-plugin-heartbeat

In deep learning workflows, agents often fall silent—halting progress reports and leaving developers in the dark about whether issues stem from technical bottlenecks or process blocks. The dsh-plugin-heartbeat tackles this by acting as a smart alarm that gently 'wakes' the agent at configurable intervals, encouraging it to proactively communicate. Whether it's a progress update, a risk alert, or a simple check-in, this plugin ensures the agent stays vocal, maintaining transparency throughout the task.

Its core capabilities go beyond mere reminders. It employs an intelligent backoff strategy to avoid frequent interruptions, and automatically stops after consecutive unresponsiveness—only resuming when the user speaks, thus conserving resources while respecting privacy. Heartbeat messages are lightweight and non-intrusive, never disrupting ongoing tasks, yet they immediately catch up once the agent finishes. It also supports history compression to save context and allows custom prompt templates, adapting to various scenarios.

Ideal for independent developers, research teams, or DevOps engineers using the DeepSeek Harness framework, this plugin suits anyone needing consistent agent status synchronization. It's especially valuable for long-running automation processes, collaborative environments requiring regular updates, or any situation where you want the AI assistant to stay in sync with humans. By turning a passive tool into an active partner, it minimizes unnecessary waits and guesswork.
