dsh-workspace-explorer English | 中文 License npm npm downloads Awesome DSH Plugin Last commit > A workspace file explorer for the DeepSeek Harness Web UI: a “Workspace Files” capsule button in the session header (feature name + folder icon, beside the Session log button) opens an animated popup showing the current workspace's directory tree — click or drag a file to send its reference to the model. Inspired by the VS Code / Cursor project tree, filling the gap of a missing directory view in DSH after workspaces are added. ## 🖥 Demo dsh-workspace-explorer demo Demo GIF (v0.5.1): the “Workspace Files” pill entry, multi-select batch insert, folder drag → compact tree text, paginated preview, and the settings tab.

## Features - 📂 Animated popup — a “Workspace Files” capsule button (feature name + folder icon, same style as the native Session log download button) sits in the session header and opens a floating panel with a spring-like fade/scale-in animation; the popup is measured live to sit between the session header and the composer (the chat area's right side), so it never covers the input box - 🗂 Top tab bar — click at the top of the panel to switch between Files and Settings; the Settings page tunes behavior live (hide noise dirs, show sizes, reference format, preview lines, panel width) and mirrors into DSH Settings → Workspace Explorer - 🗂 Lazy-loading tree — directories load on demand; noise dirs (node_modules, .git, dist, __pycache__, …) are hidden automatically - 🎨 File-type icons — filled, color-coded document badges per extension (TS / JS / Python / JSON / Markdown / image / config / shell, …); amber folders that brighten when expanded - 🖱 Click to insert — click a file row to append a [file: relative-path] reference to the composer; after sending, the model resolves it with its read tool - 🖱 Drag & drop — drop a file into the composer to insert at the caret (fullscreen dashed hint); dropping elsewhere appends to the end. Folders are draggable too — dropping a directory inserts a depth-limited compact tree listing - 🖱 Multi-select & batch insert — Shift / ⌘ click to select multiple rows, then insert all of them at once (files → references, folders → tree listings) - 🌓 Theme-aware — built entirely on DSH's --dsw-alias-* design tokens; adapts to light/dark with a native dialog look (16px radius, lv3 shadow) - 🔍 Search & filter — filter files by name across loaded directories (flat result list with a match count) - 👁 Paginated preview — preview any text file with prev/next line paging (total lines & current page shown); insert the reference, or paste the full content for small files (≤ 32 KB) - 🌐 i18n — zh/en dictionaries registered through DSH's locale service; the panel follows the DSH UI language ## Quick Start ### Installation & usage Way 1 · Native install via dsh plugin add / storefront (recommended) One command installs the full plugin — no build step, no config changes. The npm package ships a native host half (lib/index.js, webServer JSON routes incl. /dsh-we/api/config) and a browser bundle (lib/client.js via dsh.plugin.json). bash dsh plugin --profile web add -w @jiyr0119/dsh-workspace-explorer@latest (or click the install button in the DSH market). After install, a “Workspace Files” pill (name + icon) appears in the session header; restart or hard-refresh the web UI if needed. This is the zero-config, no-build path. Way 2 · npm source package (manual paste) npm install @jiyr0119/dsh-workspace-explorer — the package ships dynamic/host.js / dynamic/client.js for the manual paste flow below, with semver releases. Way 3 · Dynamic plugin paste (zero-build fallback) A dynamic Cordis plugin: no build step, no config changes — useful for quick experimentation or environments without the storefront. 1. In the DSH web UI, have an agent run cordis_define (or use the dynamic plugin panel) with idPrefix wsex. 2. Paste the whole dynamic/host.js into Host code. 3. Paste the whole dynamic/client.js into Client code. 4. cordis_run to activate; authorize on the Run card when it first appears. 5. Click the “Workspace Files” pill (name + folder icon) in the session header → expand directories → click a file, or drag it into the composer, then send. > ℹ️ pnpm note: modern pnpm (9/10) refuses to add a dependency at the workspace root (ERR_PNPM_ADDING_TO_ROOT), hence the -w flag above. Alternative: create ~/.dsh/profiles/web/.npmrc containing ignore-workspace-root-check=true. > ⚠️ Common misconception: a listing alone never auto-installs anything — users still click install. With Way 1 the full UI now appears after install (native bundle, v0.4.0+ verified with a clean dsh plugin add — no boot errors). See docs/install.md for details. ### Usage 1. Click the “Workspace Files” pill (feature name + folder icon) at the top right of the session header, beside the Session log button, to open the popup. 2. Expand directories to browse files. 3. Click a file, or drag it into the composer, then send. 4. Use the Settings tab at the top of the popup (or DSH Settings → Workspace Explorer) to adjust panel behavior. ## Project Structure dsh-workspace-explorer/ ├── README.md # Docs — English (default) ├── README.zh.md # Docs — 中文 ├── LICENSE # MIT ├── CHANGELOG.md # Release notes ├── manifest.json # Plugin metadata ├── package.json # Repo metadata (not an npm package) ├── demo/ │ ├── index.html # Interactive mock preview (GitHub Pages) │ └── preview.gif # Demo animation (README) ├── .github/ │ └── workflows/ │ └── pages.yml # Deploy demo/ to GitHub Pages (manual; preview hidden) ├── docs/ │ ├── install.md # Install guide │ ├── native-package.md # Native DSH package roadmap (upstream PR sketch) │ └── publish.md # Publishing workflow (GitHub + npm) ├── src/ │ ├── index.ts # Native host half: webServer JSON routes (/dsh-we/api/*) │ └── client/ │ └── index.tsx # Native client half: popup + tree + icons + drag & drop ├── dynamic/ │ ├── host.js # Dynamic paste host half: fs listing + ws-tree.* RPC │ └── client.js # Dynamic paste client half: popup + tree + icons └── lib/ # Built artifacts (lib/index.js + lib/client.js) ## Implementation Notes | Capability | Mechanism | |---|---| | Directory listing | Host fs.resolve / fs.listDir | | Host→Client RPC | harness.handle('ws-tree.list' / 'ws-tree.peek')host.call(...) | | Popup | shell.overlay slot (useWorkspaces / useSessions), position measured between session header & composer | | Toggle button | conversation.session.header.utilities slot (“Workspace Files” pill: name + icon) | | Composer write | conversation.input.dockinputActions.setDraft | | Drag & drop | HTML5 DnD; native caret insert in the textarea, append elsewhere | | Theming | --dsw-alias-* CSS variables (light/dark) | ## Version Current version v0.5.1 — the session-header entry is now a “Workspace Files” capsule (feature name + folder icon), matching the native Session log button style; the demo GIF was re-recorded to show the entry plus the M1 read-path features (multi-select batch insert, folder drag & tree text, paginated preview, settings tab). See CHANGELOG.md for release notes. ## Roadmap Focused on the two lines that actually matter to the product: the read path (pointing the model at code) and the write path (editing files). Everything else is parked in the backlog below instead of being listed as a peer track. Done ✅ - [x] v0.1 core: right-side file tree, click / drag-to-composer references, native DSH look - [x] Search & filter; inline preview (first 60 lines); content insertion for small files (≤ 32 KB) - [x] i18n (zh/en via the DSH locale service, follows the DSH UI language) - [x] Demo language toggle, GitHub Pages preview, demo GIF, storefront screenshots - [x] npm source package + dsh.bundle contract + awesome-dsh-plugin listing (#1158) Milestone M1 — read-path UX ✅ (v0.5.0) - [x] Multi-target references: drag a directory in (inserts a depth-limited compact tree listing) + multi-select / batch-insert file references (Shift / Cmd) — one capability, one milestone - [x] Paginated full preview for large files (prev / next page, lazy loading) instead of the 60-line / 200 KB cap — not rendering the whole file at once Milestone M2 — write path (separate product decision) - [ ] In-panel file editing: approval gate + atomic save + change detection (warn when the file changed on disk). From here the plugin stops being read-only — a deliberate repositioning that also needs updated copy and screenshots Parked backlog (do when real demand shows up) - Content search across loaded dirs (host-side grep); recent files / favorites - Draggable / resizable panel that remembers position & width; full keyboard navigation; copy path / reveal in the OS file manager - Virtual scrolling (huge dirs); light/dark theme regression checks; Playwright e2e Upstream-dependent chores - Native DSH package (@Remote namespace; needs upstream support) — see docs/native-package.md - dsh-genie hardened install; CI (lint + e2e + automated release) ## License MIT
