dsh-workspace-monitor

Tracking file changes across multiple project directories is tedious, and it is easy to miss additions, modifications, or deletions that happened since your last manual check. dsh-workspace-monitor collapses that chore into a single natural-language sentence in the current session. The plugin starts scanning file metadata at a fixed interval and emits a concise summary of added, modified, and deleted files each cycle. The first pass silently establishes a baseline with no notification; every subsequent cycle explicitly confirms whether changes were detected, keeping your situational awareness deterministic.

Multiple independent monitoring tasks can coexist in one session, each with its own taskId, target workspace, scan baseline, and run state. The scan interval can be adjusted at any time and takes effect immediately without a restart. Pausing preserves the full baseline, and resuming triggers one catch-up scan before returning to the original cadence. Scans read only file metadata, never file contents, and never write into the monitored directory. Common noise sources such as .git and node_modules are ignored by default.

Ideal for developers working inside the deepseek harness workflow who maintain several workspaces in parallel and prefer driving lightweight file-change awareness through conversation rather than a separate monitoring service or cron script.
