About this plugin

For users who work on Windows but want DeepSeek Harness agents to run in a real Linux environment, cross-system paths and runtime setup can be a real hassle. dsh-wsl-workspace addresses exactly that: it lets you add a WSL workspace directly from the DeepSeek Harness web GUI, with nothing to install inside WSL. The entire session—bash commands and file reads/writes—then happens inside a local WSL distribution, and every path the model sees is a standard Linux path.

Its core capability is straightforward: click the W button in the sidebar, pick an installed WSL distribution, browse the directory tree or type an absolute path like /home/me/proj, verify it exists, and create the workspace. The bash tool runs inside the chosen distribution as the configured user (or the default user), so it can read and write anywhere within that distro; the file tools go through the Windows-side WSL share and remain subject to DeepSeek Harness file policies. A particularly nice touch is that the session can reach both WSL and Windows at the same time—Windows files stay accessible inside the session via mount paths like /mnt/c/..., so cross-platform work no longer feels disjointed.

If you're a developer who mainly works on Windows but needs Linux toolchains or scripts, or if you want the agent to run in an isolated Linux environment without touching your Windows system, this plugin is a great fit. It combines the convenience of WSL with DeepSeek Harness session management, making the workflow feel more natural and closer to a native Linux experience.
