dsh-plugin-background-tasks

The most painful part of conversational development is rarely writing code itself; it is a single build, training run, or large download freezing the entire session while you could be doing something else. dsh-plugin-background-tasks brings Antigravity's timeout-race workflow into DeepSeek Harness: a command waits synchronously for ten seconds by default; if it finishes in time you get inline results, and if it does not, the job seamlessly promotes to the background and the conversation resumes immediately so you can keep working on other tasks without interruption. When a background job completes, a proactive notification is delivered with the exit code and an output tail, requiring zero polling and no manual nudging. Every job carries a stable ID, and listing, reading output, or terminating the process are all handled through the host's native job tools.

Security is inherited end-to-end from the host executor: all commands run through the unified shell channel, so sandbox policies and the approval pipeline remain fully in force. Cross-session task isolation is strict; tasks are invisible, uncollectable, and unkillable from other sessions. In sessions where approval is disabled, escalation requests are automatically rejected with a fail-closed guarantee and no bypass path exists. Parameter naming aligns with the official Antigravity run_command contract, so model-side habits migrate at zero cost. A bundled background-task-mode preset is released automatically on load, giving you a single-entry experience from the start without any extra system-prompt rules. Full platform coverage on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

This plugin is built for DeepSeek Harness users who regularly kick off long-running terminal work such as compilation pipelines, model training runs, large dependency downloads, or CI script debugging, where any single multi-minute command would otherwise stall the entire session rhythm.
