dsh-desktop-min

dsh-desktop-min is a lightweight desktop shell within the DeepSeek Harness ecosystem, designed to simplify the runtime environment for third-party extensions. It addresses the need for a minimal, secure platform where developers can host and test desktop extensions without relying on full application features or complex setups. By providing just the essentials, it streamlines extension development, making it more focused and efficient.

Its core capability lies in the extension-first architecture. It launches a standard Electron window to run a web profile and offers a minimal runtime that supports the registration and management of Native extensions. These extensions can access Host and Client capabilities, and even leverage the full Electron API for deep integration, all while maintaining sandbox security. This design ensures flexibility and safety, allowing extensions to be powerful without compromising system stability.

This plugin is ideal for developers looking to quickly deploy and iterate on desktop extensions, or users who need a lightweight shell for running specific tools. Since it omits workspaces, Agent behavior, and custom UI, it’s particularly suited for scenarios focused on extension functionality rather than a complete application experience. If you’re seeking a simple, extensible starting point, dsh-desktop-min is a perfect fit.
