dsh-browser DSH plugin
dsh-browser bundles Playwright (Chromium) and OpenCLI as plugin-local npm dependencies, providing a `browser` service and nine interactive browser tools. It prioritizes local dependencies over global fallbacks, eliminating reliance on global CLI. Other plugins can inject `['browser']` to consume this service.
How to install the dsh-browser DSH plugin
dsh plugin --profile web add @anweat/dsh-browserCopying does not run this command. Review the repository and version before installing the dsh-browser DSH plugin.

What the dsh-browser DSH plugin can do
- Provides nine browser tools: browser_open, browser_click, browser_type, browser_scroll, browser_read, browser_screenshot, browser_close, browser_status, browser_install
- Exposes a `browser` service via `ctx.provide('browser', service)`, consumable by plugins declaring `inject: ['browser']`
- Supports login state reuse via `storageStatePath` (Playwright storageState JSON)
- Configurable: channel (chromium/msedge), headless mode, opencliEnabled, autoInstall, verbose logging
Where the dsh-browser DSH plugin fits
- Automate web page navigation, clicking, typing, and scrolling in DSH workflows
- Capture full-page screenshots and extract readable text for content monitoring
- Use login state to access restricted pages that require authentication
- Combine with opencli for social media platform search (e.g., Xiaohongshu, Twitter, Reddit)
Who the dsh-browser DSH plugin is for
- DSH plugin developers who need browser automation capabilities
- Users building web search, scraping, or testing workflows within DeepSeek Harness
dsh-browser DSH plugin limitations
- Depends on Playwright's Chromium kernel (~400MB shared cache); missing kernel must be installed via `browser_install` tool
- OpenCLI social platform backends still require browser extensions and online login state, even with OpenCLI bundled as a dependency
- Requires matching `@deepseek-ai/*` package versions; local checkout may need manual version alignment

dsh-browser DSH plugin questions
How do I install dsh-browser?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add @anweat/dsh-browser` in your terminal. If you have a local copy, use `dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-browser`. After installation, restart DSH with `dsh --profile web` (the web profile disables HMR).
How do I configure the browser channel or headless mode?
You can configure via cordis.yml or patch config. For example, set `channel: msedge` to use system Microsoft Edge, or `headless: false` to show the browser window. All config options are listed in the README under the `config` section.
How do I reuse login state for restricted pages?
Create a Playwright storageState JSON by running `npx playwright codegen --save-storage=storageState.json` and logging in. Then set `storageStatePath` in the plugin config to the path of that JSON file. The plugin will use that state to access authenticated pages.
What if Chromium is missing?
Run the `browser_install` tool (available as one of the nine tools) to install the Chromium kernel. Alternatively, set `autoInstall: true` in the config to automatically install when missing. The kernel is stored in the shared Playwright cache (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\ms-playwright` on Windows).
Can I use dsh-browser without dsh-web-search-pro?
Yes, dsh-browser can be installed independently. However, dsh-web-search-pro injects the `browser` service from dsh-browser to power its browser-based tools (web_snapshot, web_fetch_pro, web_platform_search). If you don't need those, you can use dsh-browser alone for general browser automation.
