About this plugin
When you work through a literature review with an AI assistant, DOIs, arXiv IDs, and paper titles scatter across dozens of chat bubbles. Pulling a full text means jumping to the browser; enriching metadata means opening Crossref in another tab; shaping a citation means bouncing between Scribbr and Overleaf. The workflow is fragmented and steals minutes you cannot afford.
dsh-literature collapses that whole pipeline into the DeepSeek Harness sidebar. Identifiers in model replies or pasted text are detected and deduplicated automatically; metadata is populated from Crossref, arXiv, and OpenAlex; full-text retrieval follows an arXiv → OpenAlex OA → Unpaywall → DOI chain with clear failure classification and retry support. Once a paper lands in your library, the built-in PDF reader offers zoom, table-of-contents navigation, full-text search, multi-color highlighting, and lightweight Markdown notes with reading-position memory. The citation menu generates APA 7, GB/T 7714, MLA 9, Chicago 17, and BibTeX in one click, ready to paste into JabRef or Overleaf. Library management includes tags, status filters, sorting, and bulk export to RIS, BibTeX, or CSL-JSON, plus folder scanning for automatic import and batch migration from the Zotero ecosystem. Everything runs over localhost with zero telemetry, zero cloud dependency, and no external software required.
If you are a graduate student, postdoc, or active researcher who reads literature inside AI-assisted conversations and wants a lean, local, grab-and-go workflow without keeping Zotero or Jupyter permanently open, this sidebar plugin is built for exactly that.
Use Cases
- Doomed by repeated DOIs and arXiv IDs in AI chat and wanting one-click full-text capture into a local library
- Switching between APA 7, GB/T 7714, and BibTeX for a manuscript and wishing for one-click formatted output
- Prefering a lightweight sidebar workspace over a permanently open Zotero instance or browser extension
Best For
- Graduate students and postdocs navigating large literature reviews
- Researchers who read and annotate papers within AI-assisted conversations
- Tool enthusiasts who prefer local-first, cloud-free, account-free academic workflows
