MichengAI/dsh-automation

DSH Automation is a community-maintained plugin, not an official DeepSeek AI product.

Features

• Manages scheduled tasks from Settings → Scheduled Tasks.
• Creates, pauses, resumes, runs now, and deletes rules from the Web UI or Agent tools.
• Starts each occurrence in a fresh root Agent and Session. Source-chat history is not inherited.
• Supports once, interval, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and custom-every-N-days schedules.
• Lets you pick workspace, model, skills, and read-only / workspace-write permission in the create dialog.
• Fills a chat draft from Create in chat: I want to create a scheduled task that runs every [interval] and does [the actual task].
• Keeps durable run history with queued, running, succeeded, failed, skipped, and cancelled.
• Adds a sidebar Scheduled tab. Folders are task names and child sessions are run times. On stock DSH it wraps the official workspace tree instead of replacing it, and it does not depend on dsh-codex-ui.

Prerequisites

• A working DeepSeek Harness Web installation with dsh available in PowerShell.
• Examples use the web profile; replace it with the target profile.
• Source installation and development require Node.js 22.19+. npm installation does not require running npm install in an arbitrary directory.

Installation

Install from npm

Run this from any PowerShell directory. Install into the DSH profile through dsh plugin:

[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
dsh plugin --profile web add @michengai/dsh-automation
dsh --profile web --dump-config

Restart DSH Web or reload the active Web profile. If a package mirror is behind, append --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/.

Install from source

Use this for debugging or unpublished changes. The cloned directory becomes the plugin source path:

[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
Set-Location D:\Repository\deepseek-harness-plugin
git clone https://github.com/MichengAI/dsh-automation.git
Set-Location .\dsh-automation
pnpm install
pnpm test
pnpm build
dsh plugin --profile web add .
dsh --profile web --dump-config

Restart DSH Web or reload the active Web profile. Local installation reads and applies cordis.patch.yml; do not copy lib files manually.

Usage

Open Settings → Scheduled Tasks, then use the panel as follows:

Goal	Action	Scope
Create a rule	Select New scheduled task, then set name, schedule, prompt, workspace, model, skills, and permission.	Host-wide
Create from chat	Select Create in chat. Settings close and the composer is filled with a template prompt.	Current conversation
Pause or resume	Use the switch on a task card.	One rule
Run now	Open the card menu and select Run now.	One rule
Delete	Open the card menu and select Delete task. Run history is kept.	Definition only
Inspect runs	Open Run history, then filter by day, week, month, task, or status.	Host-wide

Each dispatched run uses the saved prompt, workspace, model, and permission boundary. It does not reuse approvals from the source chat.

Safety boundary

Item	Behavior
Permission	Default is read-only. File writes require an explicit workspace-write choice.
Full access	Unattended danger-full-access is not offered.
Approval	Unattended runs use fail-closed never and do not wait for a missing human.
Retry	No automatic retry after a started run.
Host restart	Leftover queued / running records become failed(host_interrupted).
Overlap	One active run per rule. A colliding occurrence is recorded as skipped(overlap).

A schedule stores future intent. It is not a cached permission grant.

Development

Current sources live in src and build into lib:

• src\index.ts: Host plugin, tools, and RPC.
• src\service.ts: Durable definitions, clock, and run admission.
• src\client\index.ts: Settings page and chat prefill.
• tests\*.test.ts: Domain, recurrence, service, client, and package-contract tests.

After changing files, run tests, rebuild, and reinstall from the local directory:

[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
pnpm check
dsh plugin --profile web add .

Keep the at-most-once dispatch policy, workspace scoping for Agent tools, and fail-closed unattended approval when changing execution code.

Verification

[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
pnpm test
pnpm build

pnpm check runs typecheck, tests, and build together.
