Plugin Overview & Capabilities

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.

source-grounded

dsh-side-chat is a DeepSeek Harness UI plugin that allows users to select text within completed chat messages and branch into a focused side conversation without interrupting or forking the main session. Users can request clarifications, configure thinking effort separately, and attach side discussions or annotated quotes back to the main composer as referenced context.

Key Capabilities

Select text in completed messages to trigger side-chat action bars
Run independent, temporary side conversations without creating full child DSH sessions
Attach selected annotations and comments directly to the main composer
Insert resolved side-chat discussions back into the primary conversation
Independent model and thinking effort selection for side discussions

Useful For

Asking quick clarification questions on specific paragraphs without cluttering the main conversation history
Annotating specific code or text passages with comments before composing the next prompt
Digging deeper into technical concepts and re-inserting the conclusion back to the main context

Who It Fits

DeepSeek Harness Desktop and Web users looking for granular context-querying tools
Developers and researchers who need focused sub-threads for debugging or reviewing text

Documented Limitations

Selection must stay inside a single completed message
Side conversations are temporary, in-memory, text-only discussions with no tool, steer, or file-editing execution
Closed or expired discussions (30-minute idle limit) cannot be reopened unless saved back to the main draft
Model requests time out after two minutes with strict character limits on queries and replies
