About this plugin
When chatting with an AI inside DeepSeek Harness, the interface stays the same calm, functional layout throughout a session. dsh-pixel-liangzu drops a pixel-art desktop pet into the bottom-right corner so you can literally watch conversation progress: it hunches over its work while a task runs, tilts its head waiting for your approval, gives a little clap when everything finishes, and rests quietly in between.
The pet character is driven by the six-level performance slider (dsh-performance-slider) - six distinct pixel GIFs ranging from a slim office worker at Lv.1 to a crowned emperor at Lv.6, switching the moment you drag the slider. Its animation state subscribes to the ConversationSnapshot of the current session, covering five states - idle, rest, work, wait, and done - with speech bubbles and a red error border surfacing key events right in your line of sight. You can grab and drag the pet anywhere on screen; its position is remembered across sessions and automatically clamped back into view on window resize.
It fits two audiences well: developers running long tasks in dsh web or dsh-desktop who want the process to be visible at a glance, and anyone who thinks a little pixel head working alongside you is more engaging than a progress bar. No separate slider plugin is required - it reads the shared state out of the box.
