dsh-plugin-attention-chime

The most attention-draining moment with DeepSeek Harness is not an error log but a silent pause. The agent finishes its turn, fires a question, or requests an approval, and you have already wandered off to another screen. It waits for minutes, sometimes hours, with no visible sign. dsh-plugin-attention-chime turns those silent waits into a distinguishable system sound and a macOS notification banner, so you know it is your turn the instant it happens, no matter how far you have drifted.

The plugin splits reminders into three independently configurable signals: idle turn end (Glass by default), question tools (Funk by default), and approval requests (Sosumi by default), each with its own toggle, sound, and volume. With terminal-notifier installed, tapping the notification activates your browser and jumps straight to the tab whose title matches the session, saving the fumbling for the right window. A background-task guard suppresses false idle alerts while sub-agents or background jobs are still running. If no one responds after a set interval, an escalation path re-announces with a slightly louder volume, up to three rounds, until you actually come back. Every option lives in a settings card that writes changes to a local config file instantly.

It is built for macOS developers who run long DeepSeek Harness web tasks while juggling other work in the same browser. Everything runs locally with zero network calls and no telemetry; the plugin only shells out to afplay, osascript, and optionally terminal-notifier. If you care about keeping your setup private and minimal, it fits right in.
