About this plugin

When you chat with a DeepSeek Harness agent inside WSL, assistant messages often reference paths like /home/user/projects/deck.pptx. Those strings are inert — click them and nothing happens. Generic "open path" plugins typically shell out to Linux xdg-open, which cannot launch Windows Office or WPS, so you end up copying the path and hunting for it manually.

dsh-wsl-open does one thing precisely: it CSS-highlights absolute Linux paths in assistant messages with a dotted underline (without touching the React DOM), then, on click, translates the path via wslpath into a \wsl$ or drive-letter path. Files are handed to the Windows default application via cmd start; folders open in Explorer. It only responds to real paths under home, the session workspace, or /mnt/c/Users and /mnt/d/Users, and silently skips non-WSL hosts so nothing fires by accident.

If you run agents in WSL, generate files, and want to see the path, click it, done, this plugin closes that gap. It complements dsh-wsl-launch (for launching Windows apps) and dsh-wsl-browser (for URLs), giving each type of link in chat its proper destination.

Use Cases

  • Click a dotted-underline .pptx path the agent generated and it opens in Windows Office
  • Click a folder path under /mnt/c/Users and Explorer pops up immediately
  • Skip copying paths and hunting for files manually in your WSL workflow

Best For

  • Users running DeepSeek Harness agents inside WSL on a daily basis
  • Windows + WSL users who want click-to-open for paths in chat
  • Users already working with the dsh-wsl-kit plugin suite
