dsh-path-anonymizer

Paste a path like ~/Documents or /etc into a chat and it sails straight into the model context untouched. dsh-path-anonymizer steps in right before the model request, scans each user message with regexes, and swaps every workspace-external path for a numbered placeholder such as [PATH_n]. A confirmation dialog then lets you choose to send the placeholders, restore the real paths, or cancel the request entirely, with a remember option so the same choice sticks for the rest of the session.

Detection is broad, covering Unix absolute paths, Windows drive paths, tilde home shortcuts, dot-slash and dot-dot relative paths, WSL mounts, and environment-variable references, while URLs, shell redirects, and system directories are excluded by default to keep false positives low. Paths inside the agent working directory are left as-is since the model can already read and write there without extra risk. The plugin redacts message text only; it does not intercept tool calls or act as a sandbox, so its scope is message-level redaction rather than security isolation.

It suits developers who routinely reference local files, configs, or project paths in conversations and want an extra checkpoint before those paths leave the machine, particularly in shared terminals, remote collaboration setups, or multi-project workflows where a stray path in context is a real privacy concern.
