dsh-client-ui-quote: DSH Passage Quoting and Chat Plugin

Introduction¶

DeepSeek Harness (DSH) extends its functionality through a plugin mechanism. In long conversations or code development scenarios, accurately quoting source text while preserving context is an essential requirement. The dsh-client-ui-quote plugin implements Kimi Code-style interaction: selecting text generates quote chips, with support for comments, adding to the conversation, or independent side conversations, addressing issues of scattered quotes and fragmented context.

Core Features¶

The plugin runs in the DSH client rendering process and provides the following capabilities:

• Quote generation and editing: Select text from the conversation body, file preview, or terminal to generate native quote chips. Quoted content in the comment box is editable (supports trimming).
• Three interaction modes:
  1. Comment: The quote and comment are combined into a single capsule, with an optional “Have the model respond to each item.”
  2. Add to Conversation: Insert directly into the input box.
  3. Side Conversation: Create an independent thread in the right sidebar, without polluting the main session, with support for “Return to Main Conversation.”
• Code quote support: Content selected from files or terminals is sent to the model as a code block, with the file path and line numbers included.
• Quick jump and revision: Hovering over a card provides the “Jump Back to Source” function; “Modify This Quote” is supported to generate a new revision capsule.
• Sidebar management: Provides a “Quote List” page, supporting search, Markdown export, and loading historical messages; the bottom displays side thread return actions.

Installation¶

Use the desktop or web client with DSH >= 0.2.0-rc.2.

Method 1: npm Installation

dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-client-ui-quote

Method 2: Local Link Installation

git clone https://github.com/BangBang-03/dsh-client-ui-quote.git
dsh plugin --profile desktop add link:<clone-path>

Usage Steps¶

1. Select Text: In the conversation body, file preview, or terminal, drag to select a passage.
2. Trigger:
   • Default: A floating menu appears below the selection; choose “Comment,” “Add to Conversation,” or “Side Conversation.”
   • Shortcut: Press Alt+Q (quote), Alt+C (comment), or Alt+B (side conversation) to trigger directly.
3. Edit and Send:
   • In the comment box, the upper pane contains the quoted text, which is editable or trimmable; the lower pane is the comment.
   • After sending, the quote and comment are combined into a capsule, or an independent side thread is opened.
4. Quote List: In the right sidebar, click the plugin capsule or press Alt+L to open the Quote List, then search and export Markdown.
5. Jump and Return: Hover over the card and click “Jump Back to Source” to locate the message; in the Quote List or side thread page, click “Return to Main Conversation” to bring the content back to the input box.

Notes¶

• Runtime Environment: The plugin runs in the rendering process. The Headless profile has no UI, so this plugin cannot be used.
• Token Expiration: The granular token used by the npm package is expected to expire on 2027-01-09. Reconfiguration will be required after the expiration date.
• License: MIT license. It is recommended to check the source code before installing.

Ecosystem and Maintenance¶

This plugin is maintained by BangBang-03 and open-sourced on GitHub. DSH emphasizes “everything is a plugin.” This plugin is part of the client ecosystem and is not included in the DeepSeek official app store.
