dsh-talk-map · Talk Map

English | 中文

A visual conversation map plugin for DeepSeek Harness (dsh): every session becomes a card on an infinite whiteboard.

• Spatial memory instead of working memory: free placement + grid snapping, and nothing ever rearranges your cards — if you remember "that conversation was bottom-left", it stays bottom-left. Designed for ADHD users, useful for everyone.
• Double-click to chat: double-click empty canvas to start a new session; the card is born exactly where you clicked.
• Draw an edge to fork: drag a line from a card onto empty space, preview (and edit) the context digest to inject, confirm — a new session starts knowing the old conversation.
• Card front = resume surface: title, the digest's "next step", relative time, running state. One glance tells you what to do next.
• Automatic digests: after a session goes idle, a three-field digest (summary / key findings / next step) is generated with your deployment's default model; hit ⟳ on a card to regenerate manually.
• Bilingual interface: the map's own copy renders in Chinese or English. The pill in the map header cycles Auto → 中文 → English; Auto follows dsh's own language, and the choice is remembered across restarts. (Digests stay in the language of the conversation they summarise.)
• Provenance visible: dsh's native fork/subagent lineage renders as dashed edges; your injection edges are solid.

Install

# GitHub (built artifacts are committed — no build step, no allowBuilds needed)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Tasihi89/dsh-talk-map

npm package (dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-talk-map) coming soon.

Restart dsh web; a map button appears at the sidebar foot.

Usage

Action	Effect
Sidebar map button / Esc	toggle the map
Drag a card	place it (16px grid snap, persisted)
Double-click empty space	create a session there and enter it
Double-click a card	open that session
Drag from a card's right handle to empty space	preview injection → fork a new session
⟳ on a card	regenerate the digest
Language pill in the map header	cycle Auto → 中文 → English

Where data lives

• Canvas data (positions, edges, digests): $DSH_HOME/storages/talk_map.json via dsh's official storage-domain, atomically persisted.
• Sessions themselves stay fully owned by dsh — this plugin reads them, and creates new ones only through official APIs when forking.
• Digests use your configured default model through dsh's local LLM channel; there are no other external requests.

Compatibility

Built against deepseek-harness 0.1.0-rc.6 (rc-stage APIs may drift). The structural contracts live in src/client/dsh.ts and src/host/dsh-host.ts — start there when upgrading.

Roadmap

Multi-board shelf (project = board, WIP limit) · whole-board archive/shelve · timeline view (camera fly-back) · alias cards · multi-parent merge UI · selection-level injection · quick-ask on card · two-week fade.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run build        # host → lib/, client → client/client.js
dsh plugin --profile dev add /abs/path/dsh-talk-map
dsh --profile dev     # add a profile patch to change the port and coexist with your main instance
