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
- Executes read-only contextual side questions via the `/btw` command without altering the main chat thread
- Provides an inline text selection toolbar ('Ask BTW' and 'Explain this') with quote previews up to 8,000 characters
- Displays answers in independent, collapsible, copyable, and dismissible UI bubbles
- Allows cancelling running side queries at any time without disrupting parent task progress
- Adapts automatically to DSH light/dark themes and English/Chinese language settings
Useful For
- Clarifying code snippets, error messages, or concepts mentioned in ongoing conversation turns

Documented Limitations

- Answer bubbles are ephemeral and do not persist across page reloads
- Accepts text input only; file and image attachments in side questions are rejected
- Selection quotes are limited to 8,000 UTF-16 code units
- Requires compatible DeepSeek Harness host peer dependency versions
