falser101/dsh-mascot

中文 | English

A floating companion for the DeepSeek Harness web GUI (dsh web). A draggable cartoon cat or dog sits on the UI, changes expression with the current session, and chats in short lines. Drag it, click it, or double-click to tuck it away. Skins live on their own Companion settings page, picked from a thumbnail grid.

Cats

Orange	Ragdoll	Maine Coon	Golden shaded	Silver shaded

Dogs

Cream	Poodle	Border Collie	Corgi	Shiba

Expressions

Same character, same pose — only the face changes. The orange cat as an example:

Neutral	Happy	Thinking	Sad	Blink

It blinks while idle. Whole-body motion kicks in for thinking, tool calls, streaming, done, and errors.

Features

• Session-aware. Queued, waiting for you, thinking, calling a tool, writing, done, or errored — each has its own face and line. Display-only: it never emits session events.
• Draggable. Position is saved; a resize clamps it back into the viewport.
• Status bubble. Stays up while the agent is busy. While idle it can pop on a quiet / standard / lively cadence, or only on hover.
• AI vignettes. About one in five idle lines can come from the already-configured default model. Missing keys or a failed call fall back to the built-in pool.
• Hover comfort. The bubble switches to a softer line, e.g. “Hold on, I am thinking hard.”
• Parallel work. A badge appears when several sessions or sub-agents are running. Hover for the list; click a row to jump there.
• Click / double-click. A click draws a playful line. Double-click collapses it to a dot; double-click again to bring it back.
• Copy follows the UI language (Chinese / English). Motion stops when the system asks for reduced motion.

Moods

Mood	When	What you see
Idle	Nothing running	Breathe + blink, “Here whenever you need me～”
Queued	Message sent, not started	A hop, “Got it! Joining the queue”
Confirming	Approval or a question waiting	Head tilt, “Waiting for your approval～”
Thinking	Running, no output yet	Thoughtful, “Let me think…”
Working	A tool is running	A sway, “Running 「{tool}」”
Streaming	Answer tokens arriving	“Writing the answer…”
Done	Turn just finished (~4 s)	A cheer, “Done! 🎉”
Error	Turn failed	A shake, “Oops, something went wrong…”
Greeting	You just switched sessions (~4 s)	“Hi there!”

Install

You need a DeepSeek Harness that can run dsh --profile web (@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-* ≥ 0.1.0-rc.5).

Add it to the web profile with the official command:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:falser101/dsh-mascot

After the npm release:

dsh plugin --profile web add @falser101/mascot

Restart dsh --profile web. The companion appears in the lower-right corner; Settings gains a Companion page.

For a local checkout:

dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-mascot

Remove it with:

dsh plugin --profile web remove @falser101/mascot

Develop

pnpm build        # emit lib/ (host half + browser bundle)
pnpm watch        # hot-reload the client half
pnpm test

lib/ is committed, so git and npm installs need no extra build step.

To swap art: overwrite the same-named jpgs under docs/<breed>/ → node scripts/build-art-assets.mjs → rebuild. Prompt pack: docs/character-art-prompts.md.
