⚡ Overview

dsh-messenger-gateway provides an enterprise-grade, multi-transport messaging gateway for DeepSeek Harness agents. Talk to your Harness agent directly from Telegram: interactive keyboard buttons, forum topic sessions, private user workspaces, pairing codes, and optional spoken voice replies.

Talk to your Harness agent from Telegram: text, voice, photos, documents, inline buttons, named homes, and optional spoken replies.

Features

• Long-poll or webhook Telegram bot
• Configurable proxy support: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and SOCKS5h (telegram.proxyUrl)
• Custom Bot API root URL (telegram.apiRoot) for reverse proxies and local Bot API servers
• Multi-transport support: Telegram, Discord (Webhooks & Bot API), and Slack (Webhooks & Bot API)
• Allowlist + pairing codes
• Per-user or per-chat sessions (sessionScope)
• Forum topics as separate sessions
• Quick actions reply keyboard (/keyboard on|off)
• Multi-select interactive ask forms with checkboxes and pagination (messenger_ask)
• Artifact & Mermaid diagram rendering (SVG cards) and monospace table formatting
• Agent roles & personas (/role coder, /role architect, @role tags in group chats)
• Agent tools & skills inspection (/skills, /tools)
• Session management: dialogue history export to Markdown (/export), turn rewind (/rewind), session branching (/fork)
• Workspace file manager (/files [dir]) and file download (/get <path>) with directory traversal protection
• Admin alert channel for pairing requests, model errors and monitoring (/setalert, /alert)
• Persistent scheduled reminders (/remind <time> <text>, /remind list, /remind cancel)
• Inbound webhook event dispatcher (POST /dsh-messenger-gateway/events) for CI/CD and external alerts
• Steer: follow-up messages while the agent is busy (instead of aborting)
• /stop, /new, /model, /status, /voice, /sethome, /home
• Agent tool messenger_ask (inline keyboard answers return to the agent)
• Named homes for outbound notify / messenger.send
• Optional notify bridge: web session events → Telegram home (excludes messenger sessions)
• Inbound voice → STT (dsh-voice), photos → vision (dsh-vision-bridge)
• Optional TTS replies (dsh-tts); mp3 is converted to OGG/Opus via ffmpeg for Telegram voice notes

Discord and Slack adapters are available as outbound transports (Webhooks or Bot REST APIs).

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add @goodandready/dsh-messenger-gateway

Then open Settings → Plugins → Messenger gateway:

1. Enable Telegram
2. Paste the BotFather token (write-only; leave blank to keep the current token)
3. Set allowed Telegram user IDs (or use pairing)

Optional companion plugins (same profile)

Plugin	Role
@goodandready/dsh-voice	Transcribe inbound voice messages
@goodandready/dsh-tts	Speak agent replies
@goodandready/dsh-vision-bridge	Describe inbound photos

They are not npm dependencies of this package — install them separately if you want those features.

Voice notes

Spoken replies use Telegram sendVoice. If TTS returns MP3 (or other non-Opus audio), the gateway runs ffmpeg (libopus) to produce OGG. If ffmpeg is missing or conversion fails, the audio is sent as a regular audio file instead of a voice note.

Multi-Transport Support (Discord & Slack)

In addition to Telegram, outbound messages can be dispatched to Discord and Slack via Webhooks or Bot APIs:

• Discord: set discord.enabled: true, provide either webhookUrl or botToken. Target channels via chatId: "<channel_id>".
• Slack: set slack.enabled: true, provide either webhookUrl or botToken. Target channels via chatId: "<channel_id>" or threads via threadId: "<thread_ts>".

Agent tools & HTTP

• Tool: messenger_ask — ask the user with inline buttons; choice is fed back into the turn
• HTTP (when enabled): /messenger/send, /messenger/ask, /messenger/progress
• Cordis service: ctx.messenger for other plugins

Configuration notes

• sessionScope: user (default) or chat — how group chats isolate sessions
• voiceMode: mirror / always / off — when to speak replies (also /voice)
• tts.enabled / tts.maxChars — TTS gate and length cap
• notifyBridge — forward non-messenger web session events to a home
• telegram.proxyUrl: optional HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 proxy URL (socks5://user:pass@127.0.0.1:1080, http://127.0.0.1:8080); socks:// and socks5h:// are aliases. Leave it empty to use TELEGRAM_PROXY / DSH_MESSENGER_TELEGRAM_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY / ALL_PROXY from the environment, use off/none/direct to disable proxying entirely, and NO_PROXY/no_proxy rules are honoured. The tunnel is implemented with node:net/node:tls (no extra dependencies) and keeps normal TLS certificate verification for api.telegram.org
• telegram.apiRoot: optional custom Telegram Bot API base URL (default: https://api.telegram.org), for local Bot API servers or reverse proxies
• Bot token is a DSH secret field — never commit it

Client UI & Settings Card

• Mounted into settings.plugin.item on the Plugins tab (key: dsh-messenger-gateway).
• Configuration is managed reactively via settingsScope.bind({ namespace: 'dsh-messenger-gateway' }) with snapshot status checking (loading, unavailable, ready).
• Protected dictionary registration: duplicate registration attempts on page reload are safely caught with non-fatal warnings, ensuring the settings card never fails to mount.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness web (or compatible) profile
• Node.js matching your Harness install
• For voice notes from non-Opus TTS: ffmpeg on the host PATH
