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

Side Chat adds a draggable web overlay for asking context-anchored questions in a separate persisted session, leaving the active conversation unchanged.

Key Capabilities

Opens a side-chat panel with Cmd/Ctrl+L or a header icon.
Creates standalone side sessions or forks of the current conversation when context embedding is enabled.
Captures a DOM-based anchor including path, line range, and selected text when available.
Keeps unsaved side conversations hidden from the sidebar until Save creates a visible fork.
Shows text answers while omitting reasoning and tool-call blocks.
Provides the sidechat service and a sidechat.open command for composition with other plugins.

Useful For

Ask about selected code or content without altering the active conversation.
Keep a short, multi-turn investigation beside the current DeepSeek Harness view.
Branch the current conversation when its existing context is needed for a follow-up question.
Open a saved side conversation in the main Chat window for full workbench details.

Who It Fits

DeepSeek Harness web GUI users.
Developers reading code or anchored content in Harness.
Plugin authors integrating custom anchor sources or summon controls.

Documented Limitations

Requires a web surface; its browser client is not fetched for TUI or headless surfaces.
Reasoning and tool-call blocks are not displayed in the side transcript.
Anchors come only from registered sources or DOM selection; it does not read files or provide file attachment support.
Supports one panel and one remembered side conversation per frame.
Unsaved conversations remain persisted but are hidden from the sidebar.
Changing the shortcut through a settings UI requires the optional omdsh-shortcuts plugin.
