dsh-plannotator

English · 中文

Standalone DeepSeek Harness plugin. When the agent is ready with a plan, it opens the official Plannotator app — the real product, not a lookalike review screen in the chat.

This package is not a fork or patch of the Plannotator monorepo. It uses the Plannotator app you already have installed.

Layout follows dsh-plugin-starter: host plugin, pure lib/ helpers, runtime skill, node:test, CI, and a bundle manifest — zero dependencies, no build step.

index.js                    host plugin (plan intercept + commands + skill)
lib/                        deterministic helpers (unit-test friendly)
skills/plannotator/SKILL.md model-facing skill manual
tests/                      node:test suite
cordis.patch.yml            bundle patch layer

What you get

When the agent presents a plan, Plannotator opens instead of the built-in review card.

You can also open Plannotator yourself:

Command	What it does
/plannotator-review	Review the current changes, or a pull request if you paste a URL
/plannotator-annotate	Annotate a file, folder, or URL
/plannotator-last	Annotate the latest assistant reply

1. Enter plan mode with /plan.
2. The agent writes a plan.
3. Plannotator opens in the browser. The native dsh card should not appear.
4. Approve, deny, or dismiss. dsh stays in sync with that decision.

Reviewer action	What dsh does
Approve	Leave plan mode and continue.
Approve with notes	Leave plan mode, then inject the notes as a follow-up user message.
Deny / annotate	Stay in plan mode. The agent revises with your feedback.
Dismiss (close the UI)	Stay in plan mode and wait for your next message.

Requirements

• dsh 0.1.0-rc.6 or a compatible developer preview
• Node.js 18+ (dsh itself still wants 22+)
• A plannotator CLI that already ships plannotator opencode-plan (current releases do)

Install the CLI if it is missing:

# macOS / Linux / WSL
curl -fsSL https://plannotator.ai/install.sh | bash

# Windows PowerShell
irm https://plannotator.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Then confirm it is on PATH (or at ~/.local/bin/plannotator):

plannotator --help

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plannotator
dsh web

Check that the layer is composed:

dsh --profile web --dump-config   # look for "# == dsh-plannotator"

Use /plan, let the agent propose a plan, and review it in Plannotator.

From a .tgz tarball

Each v* tag publishes an npm pack on the GitHub Release. dsh plugin add accepts that .tgz the same way it accepts an npm package — do not use the auto-attached source zip.

Install from the release URL:

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/eightHundreds/dsh-plannotator/releases/download/v0.2.0/dsh-plannotator-0.2.0.tgz
dsh web

Or download dsh-plannotator-<version>.tgz first, then point at the file:

dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-plannotator-0.2.0.tgz
dsh web

The same flows are also available as official terminal subcommands (plannotator review, plannotator annotate, plannotator last). The slash commands above wrap those CLIs inside dsh.

From this checkout

git clone https://github.com/eightHundreds/dsh-plannotator.git
cd dsh-plannotator
dsh plugin --profile web add .
dsh web

No install or build step. A local dsh plugin add . stays linked to this checkout.

Dev-load with a --patch overlay (plugin path must be absolute):

# dev.cordis.yml
- insert:
    - id: dsh-plannotator
      name: /absolute/path/to/dsh-plannotator/index.js

dsh --profile web --patch ./dev.cordis.yml

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-plannotator

A broken bundle patch can keep the whole web profile from booting. If dsh web no longer starts after install, remove the plugin and run --dump-config again.

How it works

When the agent leaves plan mode, this plugin opens the official Plannotator app and waits. Approve, deny, or dismiss is then applied back in dsh.

Slash commands and the model-facing skill are registered with ctx.inject(['commands']) / ctx.inject(['skills']) once those host services are active. They are not a one-shot ctx.get at plugin load, and the package skills/ directory is not scanned by dsh — the skill body is embedded at register time.

Configuration

Defaults work with a normal Plannotator install. Override only if the binary is not where the plugin looks.

Variable	Purpose
PLANNOTATOR_BIN	Absolute path to the plannotator executable.
PLANNOTATOR_DSH_USE_SOURCE=1	Run the Plannotator hook server from a local checkout via bun.
PLANNOTATOR_DSH_SOURCE_ROOT	Directory to walk upward from when searching for that checkout.
PLANNOTATOR_DSH_SOURCE_ENTRY	Exact path to apps/hook/server/index.ts.
PLANNOTATOR_BUN / BUN	bun executable used in source mode.

Without PLANNOTATOR_BIN, the plugin uses ~/.local/bin/plannotator when that file exists, otherwise plannotator on PATH. On Windows it also checks %LOCALAPPDATA%\plannotator\plannotator.exe.

The child process always gets PLANNOTATOR_ORIGIN=dsh and PLANNOTATOR_CWD=<session cwd>. The stock opencode-plan command still hard-codes an OpenCode origin in the UI badge; that is a Plannotator-side limit.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	What to check
Native dsh review card still appears	Plugin layer missing in --dump-config, plan mode not active, or the plan does not start with # ….
/plannotator-* missing from the slash menu	Profile still has published 0.1.4 (that build registered nothing). Re-add this checkout: dsh plugin --profile web add .
plannotator skill missing from the catalog	Same as above, or the host has no skills service. The package skills/ folder is not auto-discovered.
Could not find \plannotator``	Install the CLI, or set PLANNOTATOR_BIN.
dsh web never boots after install	Remove the plugin. Do not add a hard inject: ['planMode'] to the host patch.
exit_plan_mode is only available in plan mode	Older builds returned a bare { approved: true } and failed the official schema. Upgrade this plugin.
Badge says OpenCode	Expected. The stock CLI labels opencode-plan that way.

What this plugin does not do

• Change the Plannotator monorepo (native dsh origin, installer)
• Replace UserQuestionProvider or wrap Claude hooks.json

Development

node --test
