About this plugin

When you are coding inside the DeepSeek Harness web UI, the browser and your local editor live in two separate worlds. Opening a workspace project means leaving the browser to launch VSCode by hand, and file paths that DSH drops into a conversation can only be copy-pasted. The constant window-switching fragments your flow.

This plugin bridges the gap with two gestures. First, every workspace row in the sidebar gains an Open-in-VSCode menu item: if the project is already open the correct window is focused; otherwise a new window is spawned with the project loaded. Second, every clickable file reference in a conversation—inline path mentions, artifact chips, tool-row buttons—opens directly in VSCode with precise file:line:column targeting. If the owning project is not yet open, the plugin launches the project window first and then navigates to the exact location. Should VSCode be absent or detection fail, all gestures gracefully fall back to the operating-system default handler, so a click never goes dead.

Built for developers who run dsh web locally (browser and host on the same machine) and use VSCode as their primary editor. The plugin ships a self-contained bundle, so activation is immediate with no manual configuration edits. To point at a non-standard code CLI path or disable path rerouting, append a single key-value pair to your cordis.patch.yml profile file.

Use Cases

  • Click a file path in a DSH conversation to open it in VSCode at the exact line and column
  • Launch or focus a VSCode window from the sidebar workspace menu with one click
  • Fall back to the system default opener when VSCode is unavailable or detection fails

Best For

  • Developers running dsh web locally with VSCode as their primary editor
  • AI-assisted coding users who want to minimize manual switching between browser and editor
  • Engineers who need to jump to exact code lines for review or modification
