dsh-sidebar-qa

dsh-sidebar-qa solves the problem of wanting to ask about a specific part of a long conversation without interrupting the main thread. In DeepSeek Harness Web, you can select any text and start an embedded Q&A in the sidebar. The plugin automatically creates an independent session in the same workspace, keeping the primary chat on its original track.

Its core capabilities include select-to-ask, intelligent context summarization, nested follow-up questions, and a follow-up history view. You can choose between full inheritance, compressed summaries, or mechanical trimming for context handling, and configure the models and reasoning modes used for summarization and answers. The workflow stays inside the sidebar instead of jumping to a full conversation window, while the answer language follows the language of your question or selected text.

It is a good fit for users who frequently work with long documents, code discussions, or multi-turn research tasks in DSH, especially those who often need to ask about local context while keeping the main session clean. If you want a lightweight, side-panel questioning workflow that does not interrupt your primary conversation, this plugin is designed for that.
