AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Dual-workbench layout with right sidebar, bottom dock panel, tab splitting, and draggable floating windows
- File management and CodeMirror editor supporting syntax highlighting for multiple languages and real-time Markdown/Mermaid previews
- Integrated terminal powered by xterm.js and node-pty with transcript playback and optional agent terminal tools
- Unified file diffing and source control with Git management and per-turn agent change tracking
- Sandboxed web browser tabs with loopback allowlist support and embedded navigation controls
- Codex-style side conversations inheriting full session context into independent tabs
- Sub-agent topology visualization and background task management
- Extensible ctx.betterSidebar service allowing third-party plugins to register custom tabs and file viewers
Useful For
- Developing and debugging code within DeepSeek Harness with an integrated editor and live terminal
- Reviewing agent file modifications, Git diffs, and staging commits directly inside the workspace
- Running side conversations and exploratory queries without polluting the main conversation history
- Viewing rich media, Markdown with Mermaid diagrams, and sandboxed web previews side-by-side with chats
- Hosting third-party DSH companion tools and custom panels via the betterSidebar extension framework
Who It Fits
- Developers looking for a full IDE-like workbench inside DeepSeek Harness
- Power users needing multi-tab terminals, file inspection, and side-by-side multitasking
- DSH plugin authors building custom UI panels and file viewers
Documented Limitations
- Terminal requires native node-pty compilation when prebuilt binaries are unavailable for the target platform/Node version
- Git panel does not include built-in push/pull/fetch operations (focuses on status, diff, stage, commit, revert)
- HTML and Markdown previews render saved files and do not reflect unsaved in-editor drafts in real time
- Narrow mobile viewports (<768px) collapse the bottom panel into a single full-width sidebar drawer
DSH Compatibility
Version-specific runtime evidence collected by DSH Plugin. A missing result means we have not tested that combination yet.
Security Signals
Objective signals discovered from package metadata and source inspection. These are not a guarantee that a plugin is safe.
