dsh-genui

Picture this: you ask your assistant “How are this month's orders doing?” and it answers with a dense wall of text—revenue, conversion rate, trends, anomalies all crammed into a few lines. You either do the math in your head or copy the data into another tool to chart it. dsh-genui changes exactly that moment: it turns the model's reply itself into an interactive surface. The text is still there, but beside it sit stat cards, a trend chart, a sortable table, and even a draggable function plot. The reply is no longer something you have to process—it's a workspace you can use right away.

What I appreciate most is its restraint. Rendering uses a dual-channel approach—if the host exposes a registry extension point, fences flow through the host's streaming pipeline; if not, a DOM channel observes the session and mounts its own render tree. No host source patches needed. Components appear as the model writes them—the first finished one shows up immediately without waiting for the whole message. Capabilities span 30+ components: cards, tables, charts, forms, tabs, accordions, file trees, timelines, diffs. ECharts loads lazily on demand so it never bloats the main bundle. Function plots redraw in real time as you drag parameter sliders, and quizzes grade locally with instant right/wrong feedback.

Even more notable is its design philosophy. A whitelisted spec guard keeps everything safe: bad nodes are silently dropped, numbers clamped, strings truncated, and the whole tree is capped at 200 nodes with 8 nesting levels—pathological specs cannot crash the UI. Secrets like passwords and API keys are never collected or persisted. Every state change the UI can handle locally—grading, collapse, reset, selection—happens instantly; buttons without an action render disabled, killing the “looks clickable, does nothing” fake button. Your answers, submission locks, and input values persist per session-plus-content-fingerprint, so refreshing restores everything, with a 200-block LRU cap to keep things from growing forever.

Who is this for? If you're building on any open-source DSH distribution and want AI replies that are genuinely usable; if you're a PM or developer who wants to upgrade text answers into interactive dashboards without rewriting the frontend; if you care about safety boundaries, local-first behavior, and zero-intrusion integration—dsh-genui was made for you. Install it, restart, and ask for a monthly orders dashboard. You'll understand immediately.
