dsh-annotate-sync

Open an HTML preview in DeepSeek Harness and the annotation overlay is already there. Pick elements, write notes, hand the batch to the agent, and the agent edits the source file by path. No server, no <script> tag, no target picker.

What it is

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that takes over .html / .htm document previews:

• open any HTML file in the right-sidebar Files panel (including one the agent just generated) and the 点选批注 / Mark overlay appears automatically;
• hover highlight, click an element, write a note; numbered pins follow scrolling, resizing and layout changes;
• annotations are saved per file, with selector, sampled text, computed styles and the change instruction;
• leave picking with Esc, or press Send to Agent, and the batch goes into the current conversation as one structured message;
• the agent calls read_annotations, receives file path + selector + note, and edits that HTML/CSS directly;
• after the file changes the preview rebuilds; annotations stay; the agent can call set_annotation_status when done.

The old Agentation demo experience is preserved, without manually adding agentation.js, without the 8765 sync server, and without a local-service list to pick.

Install

# bundled CLI (macOS Desktop)
"/Applications/DeepSeek Harness.app/Contents/Resources/runtime/cli/bin/dsh" \
  plugin --profile desktop add dsh-annotate-sync@2.0.0

Add "dsh-annotate-sync" to dsh.profile.bundles in ~/.dsh/profiles/desktop/package.json, then fully quit and restart DeepSeek Harness.

Local development / tarball:

npm pack
dsh plugin --profile desktop add /absolute/path/to/dsh-annotate-sync-2.0.0.tgz

Use

1. Restart DSH.
2. Open any .html file from the right-sidebar Files panel — or open the bundled demo/index.html to try it.
3. The floating 点选批注 / Mark button appears in the preview; click it and then click an element.
4. Write the note and press Enter; Esc leaves picking.
5. Auto-send is on by default: leaving picking sends the batch into the current conversation. You can also press Send to Agent at any time, or turn auto-send off.
6. The agent reads the annotations and edits the source file; the preview refreshes when the file changes.
7. If the agent does not mark them, say "apply my annotations" so it calls read_annotations.

The toolbar above the preview shows the file name, pending count, send, auto-send and clear.

Annotation data

{
  "id": "uuid",
  "page": {
    "url": "dsh-resource://file/session/<sessionId>/<encoded path>",
    "origin": "",
    "path": "demo/index.html",
    "title": "index.html"
  },
  "file": { "sessionId": "...", "path": "demo/index.html", "name": "index.html", "address": "dsh-resource://..." },
  "selector": "#hero-title",
  "tag": "h1",
  "className": "hero-title",
  "textSample": "Simple pricing",
  "styles": { "fontSize": "26px", "color": "rgb(15,23,42)", "backgroundColor": "rgba(0,0,0,0)" },
  "rect": { "x": 120, "y": 340, "w": 420, "h": 32 },
  "note": "Make the title shorter",
  "status": "pending",
  "order": 0,
  "createdAt": "ISO",
  "updatedAt": "ISO"
}

Store: ~/.dsh/annotate-sync/annotations.json plus readable annotations.md. Legacy v0/v1/v2 files migrate to v3 automatically; old HTTP-page annotations remain readable.

Model tools

Tool	Purpose
read_annotations({ status?, pageUrl?, includeDone? })	Read annotations; pending by default; Markdown includes 文件：<path> per file
set_annotation_status({ ids?, status, all?, pageUrl? })	Mark applied (or back to pending) after editing
clear_annotations({ pageUrl? })	Clear all, optionally per file

Configuration

config in cordis.patch.yml:

Field	Default	Purpose
dir	~/.dsh/annotate-sync	annotation storage directory
route	/__dsh-annotate-sync	internal API/overlay prefix
legacyRoute	/api/annotate-sync/annotations	old sync bridge; empty disables
maxBodyBytes	262144	request body cap
tool	true	register the model tools

Architecture

DSH Web
└─ Client: custom HTML document-preview renderer (priority: external)
   ├─ reuses the builtin bytes-complete renderer + relative CSS/JS packing + opaque blob iframe
   ├─ injects window.__DSH_ANNOTATE__ + overlay.js
   ├─ toolbar: send / auto-send / clear
   └─ postMessage bridge: overlay ↔ document component
Host: routes + v3 annotation store + three model tools
Overlay: picking, pins, comment cards, status

• The iframe stays sandbox="allow-scripts" with an opaque origin; the overlay and the document component only exchange postMessage; the parent validates event.source plus the channel.
• Relative CSS/JS are read through DSH's workspaceFiles and packed into the blob, same as the builtin preview.
• No extra HTTP server is started and no network requests are injected into the page.

Known limitations

• A page CSP that blocks external scripts also blocks the overlay; the preview itself still renders.
• The custom renderer always allows the page's own scripts (the overlay needs them); it is not gated by the builtin interactive-preview setting.
• Elements inside cross-origin iframes or closed shadow roots cannot be picked.
• Only .html / .htm are taken over; other document types keep the builtin preview.
• Pins rely on CSS selectors and geometry; large DOM changes can misplace a pin, while the note and file path remain.

Upgrading from 1.x

v2 removes the local-service preview and the right-sidebar annotation panel. The old annotations.json migrates; the legacy /api/annotate-sync/annotations bridge stays. sync-server.mjs is no longer needed.
