dsh-dynamic-island DSH plugin
dsh-dynamic-island is a high-fidelity, Liquid Glass-inspired Dynamic Island concept for DeepSeek Harness. It turns the agent's inner state—thinking, tool calls, approvals, failures, completion—into a lightweight, readable companion surface that sits on the edge of your screen. It is a DSH client plugin that can be installed via the dsh plugin command for the web profile.

What the dsh-dynamic-island DSH plugin can do
- Displays eight distinct moods (idle, thinking, working, approval, complete, alert, blocked, max-tokens) mapped to real Harness signals.
- Provides synchronized approval actions with real buttons (批准/暂不) that mirror the native input area.
- Shows streaming output preview with reasoning vs. answer tinted, tool-command cards with exit code/duration/copy, and result receipts with files/checks/tokens/duration.
- Supports drag to reposition with position remembered across reloads, and a ⌘K command palette for quick actions.
Where the dsh-dynamic-island DSH plugin fits
- Keep an eye on agent activity without switching windows, knowing exactly when it's thinking, working, or waiting for approval.
- Approve or deny agent actions directly from the island without leaving other tasks.
- Monitor tool execution progress, view command exit codes and durations, and copy commands for debugging.
- Review task completion summaries, recent wins, and goal progress in a compact receipt stack.
Who the dsh-dynamic-island DSH plugin is for
- DeepSeek Harness users who want a visual, real-time companion for their agent.
- Developers using the DSH web profile who need at-a-glance status and interaction points for the agent.
dsh-dynamic-island DSH plugin limitations
- Currently a design prototype; full integration with live remotes (retry, continue, unblock, approve via real remotes) is not yet complete.
- Only works with DeepSeek Harness web profile (GUI) and requires DSH to be installed and running.
- The plugin is in early stage – some features like parallel session handling and HMR reloads are still on the roadmap.

dsh-dynamic-island DSH plugin questions
How do I install dsh-dynamic-island?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-dynamic-island` in your terminal, then restart DSH with `dsh --profile web`. The island will appear as a floating overlay on the GUI. You can also install it as a regular npm dependency if you're developing a custom DSH frontend.
What statuses does the island show?
The island has eight moods: idle, thinking, working, approval, complete, alert, blocked, and max-tokens. Each mood is driven by real Harness signals like `agent/status`, `tool/call`, `turn/end`, and `assistant/chunk`. The island also shows additional payloads like tool command cards, result receipts, goal progress, and a model badge.
Can I approve agent actions from the island?
Yes, when the agent requires approval, the island expands with a warm coral edge and shows two real buttons: 批准 (approve) and 暂不 (deny). Clicking either will immediately reflect the result in the island. This is a synchronized mirror of the native input area provided by the Harness composer.
Does it work with the terminal version of DSH?
No, the plugin is designed for the web profile only. It uses the `shell.overlay` floating slot in the web GUI and requires a browser-based DSH interface. For terminal users, this plugin will not appear.
Is this plugin ready for production?
The plugin is currently a high-fidelity design prototype. You can install and use it today to see the Dynamic Island in action, but some features like live retry, unblock, continue, and approval via real remotes are still on the roadmap. The core signaling and UI are fully functional, and the integration blueprint is documented in the repository.
