dsh-workbuddy

dsh-workbuddy gives the blank-session hero a Wordless warm-minimal makeover. It restyles the two hero slots — the brand tile and the workspace picker menu — with a lime-accented palette, Manrope type, and a quietly confident layout, while leaving the native composer dialog and trigger chip completely untouched.

The workspace picker is where the most detail lives. Full keyboard navigation is covered: arrow keys with end-wrap, Home/End jumps, typeahead by first letter, and Esc or Tab with correct focus hand-off. The menu uses fixed positioning to escape the hero overflow clipping and flips above the trigger chip when vertical space runs out. Adding a workspace works through a declared directoryFlow child hole; a failed creation surfaces in a retryable modal that traps Tab, closes on Esc, and returns focus to the chip. Light and dark themes follow the system preference, and color tokens are scoped under a --wb-* prefix so they never collide with native dsh variables.

It is for dsh users who like the calm, warm aesthetic of Wordless and want the blank session to feel less like a functional placeholder and more like a considered first screen — without reaching for custom CSS or theme files. Install it and the hero simply looks different, in a good way.
