Interactive Side-Assistant Dock to ask quick side questions via /btw with real-time thinking status and history pagination without interrupting the active agent loop.
Install
# from npm (prebuilt)
dsh plugin --profile web add @wlv-zedd/dsh-btw-plugin
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:WLV-ZEDD/dsh-btw
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).

DeepSeek Harness Side-Assistant Dock Ask quick side questions without interrupting or polluting the active agent loop.
Features
Instant Non-Blocking /btw Command: Type
/btw <question>in the chat bar. The input clears instantly (0ms) and executes in the background without disturbing the main agent run.Docked Floating Banner Above Composer: Appears right above the message input with a live Quantum Equalizer animation, Markdown rendering, pagination (
< 1/5 >), and collapse/expand toggle.Quantum Equalizer Visualizer: Five animated pill bars pulse in theme blue while your answer is being generated. During an automatic retry, all bars and the status badge switch to amber so you can always see the current state at a glance.
Smart Auto-Retry (5 Steps): On transient model errors the plugin retries up to 5 times with fast bursts (1 s → 1.5 s → 2 s → 2.5 s → 3 s, ~10 s total). The status badge shows
Retrying (X/5)...in amber so you are never left wondering.Active Session & Loop Context Awareness: Inherits the active session model dynamically and extracts recent turn history (
session.deriveMessages(), active workspace) so/btwknows exactly what you and the main agent are working on without interrupting execution.Accuracy-First System Prompt: Six concise positive instructions guide the model to preserve exact nouns, synthesize session history faithfully, and answer directly — no defensive over-constraints that cause hallucinations.
Rich Markdown Rendering: Bold, italic, inline code, numbered lists (rendered as real
1.2.numbers in theme blue), and bullet points — all without markdown tables cluttering the compact card.Isolated JSON Storage: Persists session Q&A history in
~/.dsh/storages/btw-history.jsonwithout modifying or polluting other plugins.
