dsh-side-chat

When engaging in long conversations or analyzing code with an AI assistant, you often want to dive deeper into a specific part of a response without derailing the main context or cluttering the primary thread. dsh-side-chat solves this by letting you open an independent side chat panel to ask focused follow-up questions about selected text, all without leaving your current DeepSeek Harness conversation.

The core strength lies in its focus and seamless integration. By selecting text from any completed message, you can instantly ask for more details or pose specific questions in the side panel. This creates a real Session fork that inherits the context, allowing you to independently choose models and reasoning effort. Once the focused discussion settles, you can attach it back to the main composer as a single reference. Crucially, the side chat shares the same workspace, meaning any file changes or tool side effects are real and persistent.

This plugin is ideal for developers, researchers, and power users who need to scrutinize code details, digest long technical documents, or explore tangential ideas while keeping the main workflow intact. It makes AI assistance more precise and unobtrusive, serving as a powerful companion for deep thinking and efficient workflows.
