dsh-hex

Converting between hex and text is a small but constant friction in daily development: API debugging, binary-protocol analysis, firmware inspection, and decoding escaped sequences in logs all demand it. The usual workaround—opening a browser tab, pasting, copying back, and switching windows—breaks focus and invites copy errors.

dsh-hex folds this conversion directly into your session with a single tool call. It is written in pure Node.js, makes zero network requests, and depends on zero external services; every byte of logic runs locally. Once installed, the plugin registers a tool you can invoke by name: feed it a hex string and the decoded text comes back in the same breath, the other direction included, without ever leaving your current context.

It is built for developers who touch hex representations often—reverse engineers, embedded-firmware debuggers, log analysts, and anyone squinting at hex-escaped BLOB fields or protocol frames. The source is short enough to review in a few minutes, carries no runtime dependencies, and ships under the MIT license, making it easy to pull into your workflow with confidence.
