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

Whale on Desk installs into DeepSeek Harness as a web UI overlay. Its animated whale reflects task, streaming, tool, approval, completion, failure, context, and idle states, with optional aquarium mode and custom pet support.

Key Capabilities

Displays an animated whale in the DSH web UI based on agent and session events.
Visually emphasizes pending approvals with a glass-tapping animation, amber pulse, and flashing browser title.
Shows task statistics on hover and supports draggable, remembered placement.
Provides synthesized sound effects and a context menu for muting, resetting position, switching pets, or hiding the companion.
Offers a full-screen aquarium mode with tool-call-driven coral progress and a tool-count fish school.
Registers the pet-forge skill for creating and hot-switching custom pet packages.
Supports custom GIF-based pets through a manifest and configurable pet directory.

Useful For

Make agent activity and pending approvals more noticeable in the DSH web interface.
Add a lightweight visual companion while monitoring long-running agent tasks.
Create or switch custom pixel-art pets for the DSH interface.
Capture demonstrations or screenshots using the optional preview endpoint.

Who It Fits

DeepSeek Harness web UI users.
Users who want more visible approval and task-state notifications.
Creators customizing DSH with pixel-art companion assets.

Documented Limitations

The project labels itself as an early preview.
The package declares the web client platform and is intended for the DSH web UI.
Pet-forge requires ffmpeg to be available on PATH.
The optional POST /whale/preview endpoint is disabled unless allowPreview is enabled.
Custom pets require GIF assets and a manifest mapping states to files.
