dsh-conversation-strip

Scrolling through dozens of turns in a DSH Web conversation to find a specific question is slow and error-prone. dsh-conversation-strip borrows the minimal vertical-ruler idea from Codex and draws a column of short tick marks in the narrow gutter between the main sidebar and the chat pane. Each tick represents one complete user-question-plus-assistant-reply turn, making long threads scannable at a glance.

Hover any tick and a compact card slides in from the right: the top line shows the user prompt, the body shows the first line of the assistant reply, and structural cues such as headings, lists, and paragraphs are separated by dividers. The card stays center-aligned with its tick and glides smoothly along the track without flickering or re-triggering. Clicking a tick jumps to that turns start with a brief highlight. Turns still streaming get a gentle breathing animation, and empty replies display a waiting hint. Three filter modes (all / conversation / assistant-only) plus settings for sidebar offset, tick density, auto-follow, and motion let you fine-tune the experience. The plugin hides itself below 900 px to keep the chat area unobstructed.

The plugin reads only the already-rendered DOM via a MutationObserver in the browser. No conversation content is uploaded and no DSH session data is modified, so privacy is preserved by design.

It is well suited to engineers, technical writers, and anyone working with long multi-turn conversations in DSH Web who wants to jump between turns as naturally as flipping through a table of contents.
