About this plugin
Nobody wants to stare at the terminal while a long DSH task runs. This plugin closes that gap: the moment a task completes, errors, or hits a block, a plain-text system notification lands on your device, so you can step away and still know what happened at a glance.
It subscribes to the agent/status event on DSH's built-in Cordis bus. When the top-level agent transitions to idle, error, blocked, or goal-completed, composeBody assembles a unified message (content summary, timestamp, duration), deduplicates it, and fans it out to every enabled channel. Desktop coverage includes the macOS Notification Center (via osascript, zero dependencies) and Windows Toast (PowerShell plus WinRT with an embedded PNG icon). Mobile and remote delivery supports Bark, ntfy, Server-chan, and any custom Webhook. Each event type carries its own icon, generated from bundled SVG sources. A failing channel only logs a warning and never disrupts the host process.
It fits developers running long or multi-agent DSH pipelines, cross-platform teams on Mac and Windows, and anyone who wants instant task-status alerts on their phone. Configuration is flexible: edit settings.yaml by hand, set environment variables, or walk through the interactive menu to toggle events per channel and fire a live test notification, so you can pick whichever workflow feels right.
Use Cases
- Get an instant phone alert the moment a long task finishes
- Catch errors and blocks in real time instead of staring at a terminal
- Receive status updates across Mac, Windows, and mobile devices simultaneously
Best For
- Developers running long or multi-agent DSH pipelines
- Cross-platform teams switching between Mac and Windows
- Anyone who wants instant task-status alerts on their phone
