StruggleYang/dsh-project-kanban

A kanban board inside DeepSeek Harness, integrated with the conversation: the agent writes planning cards via kanban_* tools while you talk, boards are isolated per workspace (project), and data is persisted to disk.

This is an official bundle-format plugin (dsh.bundle declaration + cordis.patch.yml patch layer), installed through the official dsh plugin flow.

Preview

Features

• Agent-driven planning: 9 model tools (kanban_get, kanban_add_card, kanban_update_card, kanban_delete_card, kanban_move_card, kanban_duplicate_card, kanban_add_column, kanban_rename_column, kanban_delete_column) — the agent writes cards directly during planning and feature breakdown
• Per-workspace isolation: each workspace (project) has its own board; agent tools resolve the current workspace automatically
• Disk persistence: every change is written to kanban-board-<workspaceId>.json — survives page refresh and process restarts
• Browser board UI: a "看板" (Kanban) tab in the session header, no extra install
• Labels & colors: 功能 (feature, blue) / 缺陷 (bug, red) / 文档 (docs, green) / 优化 (optimization, orange)
• Priority: high / medium / low with a colored left-edge bar (red / orange / blue)
• Custom card color: any #rrggbb background via the color picker in the edit form
• In-column ordering & duplication: ↑ / ↓ buttons (or the toIndex parameter) reorder cards within a column; one-click duplicate copies label/priority/color
• Filtering & search: keyword, label, and priority filters at the top of the board
• Due dates: YYYY-MM-DD deadline with automatic overdue highlighting
• Trash & restore: delete is soft (to the trash); restore or purge from the trash view
• Bulk operations: multi-select cards to move / label / trash in one action
• Stats bar: totals by label, priority, and overdue count
• Drag reordering: drag a card onto another card's position to insert there
• Templates: default / dev / content column presets (adds missing columns only)
• Undo: every write operation is undoable (50-step stack)
• Cross-workspace move: move a card into another project's board
• Session references: cards created by the agent record their source session (click to jump back)

Installation (official flow)

Prerequisites

• dsh CLI installed (npx @deepseek-ai/dsh or pnpm dsh from source)
• Pick the target profile (web is the default browser profile)

Option 1: from GitHub (recommended)

dsh plugin --profile web add github:StruggleYang/dsh-project-kanban

pnpm ≥ 10 refuses to run a git dependency's prepare script on the first try. Copy the package key pnpm prints into the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml (at $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/pnpm-workspace.yaml):

allowBuilds:
  dsh-project-kanban: true

Then re-run add.

⚠️ Security note: allowBuilds grants install-time code execution on your machine. Only allow sources you trust, and consider pinning a commit: dsh plugin --profile web add github:StruggleYang/dsh-project-kanban#<commit-sha>

Option 2: from a local checkout

git clone https://github.com/StruggleYang/dsh-project-kanban.git
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-project-kanban

Option 3: tarball / npm (no build permission needed)

Download the tarball from the GitHub Releases page, or build it locally:

pnpm pack
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-project-kanban-0.3.0.tgz

Published to npm:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-project-kanban

Verify and enable

dsh --profile web --dump-config   # should end with a "# == dsh-project-kanban" layer

Then restart dsh web (bundle rows load at boot). The 8 kanban_* tools appear in the agent's toolset, and the "看板" tab appears in the session header.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-project-kanban

Removes both the dependency and the layer; board data files are kept on disk.

How it works

• This package is a bundle (npm package + config layer): package.json declares dsh.bundle.patch, and dsh appends it to the profile's dsh.profile.bundles after @deepseek-ai/dsh-base
• cordis.patch.yml inserts the dsh-project-kanban row; the Loader resolves it by package name from the profile's node_modules
• index.js is a standard Cordis function plugin (export const name / export const inject / export function apply) registering tools via ctx.tools.register
• The browser half (lib/client.js) is a hand-written __ModuleLoader__ closure bundle (official client-modules format): require('react') resolves via the platform seed word, and the UI talks to the host through a same-origin fetch to the /api/kanban webServer route
• Tools resolve the current workspace via exec.agent.session.header.cwd → ctx.workspaceRegistry.resolveByPath
• Layer order: @deepseek-ai/dsh-base → this bundle → the profile's cordis.patch.yml → user --patch overlays; later layers override earlier rows by id

Agent tools

Tool	Purpose
kanban_get	Read the current board (optional includeArchived for the trash)
kanban_add_card	Add a card (title, note, optional label / priority / color / dueDate)
kanban_update_card	Update title / note / label / priority / color / dueDate
kanban_delete_card	Soft-delete into the trash
kanban_restore_card	Restore a card from the trash
kanban_purge_card	Permanently delete a card
kanban_bulk_delete_cards	Bulk soft-delete multiple cards
kanban_move_card	Move across columns, or reorder within a column via toIndex
kanban_duplicate_card	Duplicate a card (carries all fields)
kanban_move_card_to_workspace	Move a card to another workspace's board
kanban_undo	Undo the last write operation
kanban_add_column / kanban_rename_column / kanban_delete_column	Column management

Testing

Keyless end-to-end verification (no DEEPSEEK_API_KEY needed): creates a temporary profile, installs the local package, boots the web composition, and asserts the tool schemas plus the full HTTP workflow.
