dsh-status-rotator

The default “Deep diving...” status line in DeepSeek Harness is often monotonous and tells you nothing about the current model, elapsed time, or inference speed. dsh-status-rotator solves that by turning this line into a customizable live information panel. You can define different phrases for three phases—thinking, running, and long—so the status automatically changes right after the turn starts, after 15 seconds, and after one minute. Phrases can be typed out with a typewriter effect and animated with a rainbow gradient, making waiting a bit more fun.

More importantly, all phrases support template placeholders like {elapsed}, {model}, {tps}, and {tools}, driven by a built-in real-time status engine that subscribes to the dsh session snapshot and model RPC. Beyond the status line, the plugin can also rotate the browser tab title during turns and show a floating live status pill in the corner with model name, phase, elapsed time, and tokens per second—so you can monitor progress at a glance without switching windows.

The plugin also includes presets and time-of-day scheduling: you can prepare multiple phrase banks for different moods or languages, then let the schedule switch them automatically, for example Chinese phrases during the day and English ones at night. All phrases live in configuration files, no code changes required, and edits from the settings page take effect immediately.

If you like adding personality to your tools or want quick visibility into model status during long generations, this plugin is for you. It's lightweight, doesn't touch the original timer, and fits any DeepSeek Harness user—especially those who run long tasks and care about token throughput.
