dsh-model-picker-plus

When you have plugged multiple providers into DeepSeek Harness and the model list keeps growing, the built-in selector starts to fall short. Finding the right model, telling vision-capable ones from reasoning-only ones, and remembering a shortlist all become friction. dsh-model-picker-plus swaps that piece of UI for a model library designed around multi-provider workflows, turning a long scroll into a targeted search.

The experience is built on three layers. Structure: models are grouped by provider with groups collapsed by default, so only the group containing the active model is expanded. Search and memory: fuzzy search across provider name, model name, model ID, and description; one-click favourites; and automatic recency tracking. Capability visibility: each model carries Free, Vision, Omni, Reasoning, or Tools badges, and a top filter bar narrows the list by free tier, vision, reasoning, or tool use. If dsh-model-health or dsh-model-hub is installed, the plugin also reads their stored health checks to show recent availability and latency at a glance.

It is aimed at heavy users who maintain several providers, switch models often, and depend on specific capabilities. The plugin is a pure client-side module that reuses DSHs own modelDirectories and sessions.selectModel APIs without modifying any provider plugin code. Disable or uninstall it and the native selector returns immediately, with zero migration and zero side effects.
