dsh-reveal-files

English | 简体中文

A dual-face DeepSeek Harness plugin that makes each produced-file chip in the 「产物」/ "Produces" row (the row of file chips under assistant messages) open a small dropdown menu with per-file actions: open the file, copy its path, reveal it in your native file browser, or open a terminal cd'ed into the file's directory.

Features

• Each produced file chip opens a compact dropdown menu on click — no accidental direct opens, one menu per file:
  • 📂 Open — open with the default application (the original behavior).
  • 📋 Copy file path — copy the absolute path to the system clipboard.
  • 📁 Show in file browser — macOS Finder (open -R, selects the file), Linux file manager (xdg-open on the parent folder), Windows Explorer (explorer /select,).
  • ⌨️ Open the file's directory in terminal — opens a native terminal frontmost, cd'ed into the file's parent directory for further work: Terminal.app on macOS, x-terminal-emulator / gnome-terminal / konsole on Linux, or cmd on Windows. Every trigger opens a fresh window (each action gets its own terminal, no extra permissions needed).
• Menu labels follow the UI locale (Simplified Chinese / English); the menu items carry role="menuitem" and the chips expose aria-haspopup / aria-expanded.
• Relative paths are resolved against the session working directory.
• Errors (e.g. sandbox denial, unsupported platform) surface inside the open menu, which stays open while an action is in flight (items disabled).
• Zero runtime dependencies beyond the harness itself — Host uses only node:child_process; the client uses only the platform's react seed.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness Web (profile web), i.e. dsh web.
• Node.js >= 22.6.0.
• A desktop environment the native opener can reach (macOS and Windows always; Linux needs a display server or WSL).

Installation

# Install from GitHub (pnpm git spec; #main pins the default branch):
dsh plugin --profile web add github:yumm007/dsh-reveal-files#main

Building from source. GitHub installs build the package during install; pnpm asks once for an allowBuilds grant, then proceeds. If it does (or if the build is blocked), add the package to allowBuilds in your profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml and re-run the command. A prebuilt npm release skips this step entirely.

dsh plugin forwards the arguments to pnpm inside the profile directory and then reconciles dsh.profile.bundles. Because the package declares dsh.bundle.patch, it joins the profile layer stack automatically — no manual editing of cordis.yml is required.

After installation, restart the web profile:

dsh web

The plugin loads as a bundle on boot: the Host half registers the POST /api/reveal-files and POST /api/show-in-terminal routes and the client half mounts the drop-down menu in the produced-files row.

Usage

1. Let the assistant produce one or more files (any write / edit / mutation tool result in a turn).
2. Under that message, find the produced-files row (「产物」 in Chinese, "Produces" in English) with the file chips.
3. Click a file chip — a small menu opens with Open / Copy file path / Show in file browser / Open the file's directory in terminal; pick one. The menu closes on selection or on an outside click.
4. If an action fails, the error appears inside the menu in red; the items stay disabled while the action is running.

Configuration

The plugin row in cordis.patch.yml accepts:

- insert:
    - id: dsh-reveal-files
      name: 'dsh-reveal-files'
      config:
        enabled: true          # register the reveal route (default true)
        revealTimeoutMs: 10000 # per-command timeout, ms (default 10000)

Override these in the profile's own cordis.patch.yml if you need to.

How it works

Layer	File	Responsibility
Host	lib/index.js	Cordis plugin row dsh-reveal-files (injects webServer and sessions) and registers POST /api/reveal-files (reveal) and POST /api/show-in-terminal (frontmost terminal cd). Runs open -R / xdg-open / explorer /select, and osascript / terminal emulators per platform, resolves relative paths against the session cwd, and returns JSON results.
Client	client/client.js	Web module (window.__ModuleLoader__.load), registered by the harness client module system. Claims the conversation.chat.turnTail chain with priority: -1 and a select that reads the turn's deliverables data (the same vocabulary the built-in row uses), then renders the chips row plus the two icon buttons.

Why priority: -1?

The turn-tail slot is a chain: entries are tried in ascending priority order and the first non-null select result wins. The built-in produced-files row registers at priority 0. Registering at -1 places this plugin's entry first, so the reveal icon is rendered while keeping identical file-detection behavior. Without the explicit priority, the two entries would tie at 0 and the built-in row would silently win.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-reveal-files

The reconcile step also drops the package from dsh.profile.bundles; restart the web profile afterwards.

Development

For local development against a checkout, install it from disk and re-run the add after each edit — the profile's dependency is a hard link, so the installed code follows your working tree:

dsh plugin --profile web add file:/absolute/path/to/dsh-reveal-files
# after editing:        dsh plugin --profile web add file:/absolute/path/to/dsh-reveal-files
# or force a reinstall: pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/profiles/web install --force

The web server serves the client bundle from disk with a rev-hashed URL, so a refresh picks up client changes; Host route changes require a restart.
