Optional Obscura headless-browser tools from WSL (obscura_status / obscura_fetch / obscura_mcp_hint). Not the same as dsh-wsl-browser win_open_url (Windows GUI browser), and not a replacement for dsh-wsl-fetch web_fetch.
Install
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:173787247/dsh-wsl-obscura
Any plugin you install runs third-party code with your own permissions — it can read your files, use your credentials, and reach the network, and tool approvals don’t sandbox it. GitHub-sourced plugins also run build scripts at install time — pnpm blocks those until you allow them, so an install can stop with ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED or ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS; dsh prints the exact key to add under allowBuilds in your profile’s pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install works on the next run. Allowing a build is a trust decision: only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).

Compatibility
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Plugin | dsh-wsl-obscura 0.1.0 |
| Minimum dsh | ≥ 0.1.2 (web UI one-shot ?token= on Windows relay :3081) |
| Latest verified | See dsh-wsl-kit Compatibility (currently 0.2.0-rc.2) — single source of truth for the suite |
| Kit set | optional — not in default KIT_SET lists |
| Cloud Flash | Use model id deepseek-flash (V4.1 Flash) in ~/.dsh/settings.yaml / llm-deepseek — not configured by this plugin |
| Agent Teams | Upstream experimental; not required here |
Suite floor versions: kit check-plugin-versions.sh. Fault tree: TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
Why
Agent work that needs page text, JS eval, or stealth fetch should hit a headless engine. Obscura already builds on Windows (obscura.exe). This plugin runs it from WSL via interop (/mnt/c/.../obscura.exe).
For richer agent tools (navigate / click / screenshot as MCP tools), prefer Obscura MCP (obscura mcp) — use obscura_mcp_hint for the wiring.
Prerequisites
- Build Obscura on Windows (
cargo build --release -p obscura-cli --bins --features render,stealth). - Point the plugin at the binary (any of):
config.binaryPathin cordis- env
OBSCURA_BIN/OBSCURA_PATH(WSL orC:\...path) - default candidate (local scaffold):
<obscura-checkout>/target/release/obscura.exe
Install
Local clone (recommended while unpublished):
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-wsl-obscura
When published:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:173787247/dsh-wsl-obscura
Restart dsh web after add (kit: scripts/restart-dsh-web.sh).

Add a WSL workspace from the web GUI without needing to install dsh or related tools again inside WSL. Bash commands and file read/write operations run within the local WSL distribution on the host machine, while Windows files remain accessible.
XINY11451/dsh-wsl★ 7
Extends the working range of DSH into WSL. Files in the distribution can be read, written, edited and searched by DSH directly. Depending on the task, the AI chooses for itself: run a one-off command, or open its own terminal and run several commands there to finish the job. Typing `dsh` in a WSL terminal calls DSH (type `dsh help` there for details), fusing WSL and DSH deeply. Every terminal you open can collaborate visually with the AI.

Windows-native tools for DSH agents: clipboard read and write, system notifications, hosts file inspection and network diagnostics, each returning structured data with UI cards from injection-safe PowerShell.
