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

omdsh-sidechat adds a floating, draggable side conversation overlay to the DeepSeek Harness web interface. Summoned via ⌘L/Ctrl+L or the session header icon, it allows users to ask side questions anchored to selected text or code without injecting queries, tool calls, or reasoning noise into their main supervised conversation. Side chats remain hidden from the sidebar until explicitly saved as a fork.

Key Capabilities

Summons a floating, draggable side chat overlay anywhere in the web GUI using ⌘L or header utility buttons
Automatically anchors questions to current text selection, file path, and line numbers using DOM attributes or registered anchor sources
Keeps questions and answers in an isolated, hidden session to avoid polluting active conversation context and workbench history
Provides an optional context embedding switch to fork the supervised conversation's history on demand
Streamlines transcript output by omitting reasoning steps and tool calls in favor of direct text answers
Allows saving hidden side sessions as persistent visible sidebar conversation branches
Integrates seamlessly with omdsh-shortcuts for customizable keybindings

Useful For

Asking quick clarifying questions about highlighted code without derailing the main LLM workflow context
Exploring tangential concepts or functions while keeping the primary session transcript clean and focused
Executing parallel reference queries across Chat, Work, or Code modes in DeepSeek Harness

Who It Fits

Developers and power users who need quick side explanations while reading transcripts or code in DeepSeek Harness
Users managing long-running agent workflows who want clean primary conversation contexts

Documented Limitations

Web platform only; requires the DeepSeek Harness web client UI
Omits reasoning blocks and tool-call details from the panel transcript
Supports only one active side chat panel and remembered position per frame
Does not support attaching files or images directly within the side panel interface
Keybinding customization requires omdsh-shortcuts or programmatic service configuration
