About this plugin

Before this plugin, the @ trigger pipeline in the DeepSeek Harness input box could only invoke skills and subagents. dsh-input-file-ref closes that gap by adding a file reference source: type @ in the input box and a same-width, search-first, drill-down file picker appears. Each file row shows its full relative path; selecting one backfills @relative-path into the input box with a trailing space, and the model then reads the file content via its own fs tool. The plugin is zero-dependency, strictly read-only, and never modifies or deletes anything.

It is built for developers who frequently need to point the model at local source files, configs, or docs. One @ invocation, a quick search, and the path is ready to send, replacing the hassle of pasting file contents into long prompts. Note that starting with DeepSeek Harness 0.1.2-alpha.3, @ file selection is a native feature; this plugin has been archived, and upgrading Harness is the recommended path forward.

Best For
