About this plugin
The DeepSeek Harness CLI ships without a self-update command, and existing update-checker plugins in the community can only detect a new version and ask you to click a button to install it. dsh-auto-update closes that gap: on every startup it compares the local version against the npm registry dist-tag and then either prints a prominent notice banner or runs the install command automatically, depending on your configuration.
Key capabilities include a single delayed check after launch instead of repeated polling, correct semver pre-release comparison, a toggleable notify / install mode, state persistence with the last ten check results, full compatibility across web, headless, tui, and any custom profile without requiring a webServer, and zero runtime dependencies beyond Node built-ins and global fetch.
It is built for anyone who runs DeepSeek Harness daily and wants to stay current without manual intervention. The default notify mode is safe and side-effect-free, suitable for most setups; if you are comfortable accepting the breaking changes inherent in the developer preview stage, you can explicitly enable install mode for fully automated updates.
Use Cases
- Compare the local dsh version against the npm registry on every launch and print a prominent banner if a newer release exists
- Eliminate manual update checks entirely in headless, tui, or any non-GUI profile
- Enable install mode to let dsh auto-upgrade to the latest release on each startup with zero manual intervention
Best For
- Developers who use DeepSeek Harness intensively day-to-day
- CLI users who want fewer manual maintenance steps and a hands-off experience
- Engineers running dsh inside CI pipelines or headless servers
