Introduction¶

When using DeepSeek Harness (DSH) to execute tasks, especially when waiting for subtasks or long-running jobs, it is easy to switch to another window and forget to check the current task status. This plugin reminds you via a notification when a task finishes, so you can quickly review the result after handling other affairs.

Plugin Description¶

Name: herenfor/dsh-task-notify
Positioning: client plugin
Overview: DeepSeek Harness task completion notification plugin, with browser notifications and Windows notifications as a fallback.

Core Features¶

1. Sends a notification when a round of conversation ends normally; no reminder is sent on cancellation, error, or completion of delegated subtasks.
2. Supports the minimal preset in Web mode, triggering notifications even if the AI has no tools.
3. Uses Windows system notifications as a fallback.
4. Notification failures do not affect task execution.

Installation and Enablement¶

Run the following command in the WSL terminal:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:herenfor/dsh-task-notify#v0.0.1

After installation, restart DSH and refresh the browser page. The plugin will be loaded automatically.

Enablement steps:
1. Open DSH Settings → Task Notifications.
2. Click Enable Browser Notifications and select Allow in the browser prompt.
3. Click “Test Notification” to confirm that you can receive reminders.

Typical Usage¶

• Run the installation command in the WSL terminal.
• Keep the DSH page connected in the browser so browser notifications can be received.
• Wait for the task to finish and check the notification.
• To test Windows notifications separately: run ./notify-windows.sh in the plugin source directory.

Applicable Scenarios and Notes¶

• Target environment: currently mainly used in Windows 11 + WSL2.
• Connection requirement: browser notifications require one DSH page to remain connected. If the page is closed or permission has not been granted, Windows notifications are used automatically.
• Permission management: notification permissions are saved separately per browser and website address. If you switch browsers or ports, you need to allow them again.
• Stability: failed notification sending does not affect task execution.
• Icon source: the whale icon is from DeepSeek Harness.

Conclusion¶

This plugin provides a simple feedback loop for DSH task workflows. For more information or to obtain the source code, visit: GitHub Repository.
