About this plugin

Discussing a PDF book with an AI agent inside DSH usually means juggling windows: select a passage in an external viewer, copy it, paste it back, and hope the context survives. dsh-book-reader collapses that whole loop into the sidebar. A new "Reading" tab embeds a full PDF reader with paging, zoom, and page numbers; selected text can be highlighted with an optional note, and every annotation persists to annotations.json next to the book so nothing is lost after a restart. The "Send to Chat" action appends the selection—complete with file path and page reference—straight into the input box, so the model immediately knows which passage you are talking about.

It is built for anyone who studies technical documentation or textbooks inside DeepSeek Harness. You stay in one workspace to read, annotate, and ask questions. A status bar at the top of the tab reports plugin loading and route connectivity at a glance, making troubleshooting straightforward. The roadmap envisions an automatic session-linked note summary in phase two and reading progress tracking with review checklists in phase three, turning the full reading cycle into a first-class DSH workflow.

Use Cases

  • Open a PDF technical doc in the DSH sidebar and read with paging and zoom
  • Highlight a passage with an optional note; annotations persist across restarts
  • Send selected text to chat with file path and page reference for precise AI context

Best For

  • Researchers studying textbooks or papers within DeepSeek Harness
  • Technical readers who want persistent highlighting and notes while reading
  • Professionals who need AI to reference specific PDF passages by path and page
