About this plugin
You are deep into a conversation in DeepSeek Harness and suddenly need a quick follow-up on the current topic, but do not want to pollute the main thread history, queue, or agent state. dsh-quick-ask exists for exactly this moment: a ChatGPT-style floating side panel on the right edge of the workspace. Every question runs in a fully isolated lightweight session driven through the official /api RPC and streamed back over the /api/remote.mux WebSocket, so the main conversation stays completely untouched.
The panel is topic-aware: before sending, it automatically attaches a snapshot of the visible main conversation (including any composer draft) as background context, keeping answers on-track. This can be toggled off per question for a clean-slate query. The experience includes streaming output, collapsible reasoning, tool-call chips, a stop button, queued questions, host preset switching, persistent history restore, and adaptive light-dark theming that follows DSH.
dsh-quick-ask is a pure client-side plugin with zero server-side services and no external dependencies. A page refresh after install is all it takes. It is ideal for users who frequently need to ask small, on-topic questions in the gaps of a long main conversation without interrupting the primary workflow.
