dsh-mama-cheer

Long sessions with an LLM in the terminal often hit the same awkward moment: the model is mid-tool-call and you want to interject a one-line directional hint without derailing the pipeline. dsh-mama-cheer solves this with a single keyboard shortcut that drops a configurable, encouraging message into the live dsh-TUI conversation without leaving the terminal and without waiting for the current turn to end.

The core design is smart delivery. The plugin inspects the model state and picks the least disruptive injection path. When idle, the message arrives as a normal next turn. When a tool call is in flight, the message is queued at the next step boundary so the tool finishes untouched. Only when the model is streaming plain text does the plugin trigger a lightweight cancel, and even then the partially generated answer is preserved in context with an interrupted flag, while already-queued messages survive via keepInbox. The smart policy is the default; switching to always or never is a single config key away.

Who is it for? If you live in dsh-TUI and regularly drive multi-step code generation, long-form writing, or chained reasoning sessions, and you are used to interjecting a directional hint mid-pipeline without tearing everything down, this plugin is built for you. It requests no permissions, intercepts nothing, stores nothing beyond its own 64 KB log, and contains failures gracefully so a misfire can never take the keyboard down for your other bindings. It sits quietly in the corner of the terminal, waiting for that one Ctrl+Alt+M press.
