dsh-plugin-trellis-statusline

English | 中文

Show the active Trellis task of the current workspace in the dsh web chat — the job the Claude Code statusline.py hook does in a terminal, and a statusline dsh's web shell does not have.

Features

• Session header: a persistent task pill to the right of the session-preset selector.
• New-session view: before the first message has been sent, the pill appears in the composer's dock line just above the input card, sharing that line with the usage pill.
• The pill reads [priority] title · status, and marks the task's role in the task tree (parent task / subtask).
• When the task belongs to a tree the pill is clickable; the dropdown shows the tree indented in its real shape and highlights the session's task.
• A session without a task of its own shows the workspace's active-task count; clicking the pill opens that list, with a state on every row.
• The workspace list answers "what work does this workspace hold" — no member of it is presented as the session's own task.
• Read-only: it never writes to Trellis and never starts, switches or archives a task; when the workspace holds no task it shows nothing.

Install

From GitHub (recommended)

dsh plugin --profile web add github:CJ-SH/dsh-plugin-trellis-statusline

From a local directory

git clone https://github.com/CJ-SH/dsh-plugin-trellis-statusline
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-plugin-trellis-statusline

Restart dsh after installing — a plugin is loaded at boot, and the restart ends any running agent process, so run it yourself. No configuration is needed.

Usage

The pill sits in the session header (right of the session-preset selector), or in the dock line just above the input card for a new session. Four shapes:

[P2] Add the importer · 进行中
[P1] Release 0.2 · 进行中 · 父任务
[P2] Wire the importer · 进行中 · 子任务
工作区 3 个活动任务

• Stand-alone task: [P2] Title · 进行中 — no role, no click target, no tab stop.
• Root of the task tree: [P1] Title · 进行中 · 父任务; every other member of the tree, grandchildren included: ... · 子任务.
• Session has no task of its own but the workspace does: 工作区 N 个活动任务, led by a single list icon. Clicking it opens the workspace's task list — priority, title and state per row, no role, and nothing highlighted as "current".

The display refreshes every 10 s, and immediately when you switch sessions, so task.py start / task.py archive shows up within one poll.

Configuration: none. The plugin reads the session it is rendered in and holds no settings.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-plugin-trellis-statusline

It stores nothing, so uninstalling needs no cleanup.

Technical notes

• Needs dsh 0.2.0-rc.1 or a later 0.2.x, with the web profile; on a version mismatch the row is denied at startup with a message, rather than loading a plugin whose seats have moved.
• Needs Node ^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0.
• Needs a Trellis-managed workspace: run trellis init --dsh in it, and the session's working directory contains .trellis/, which is all this plugin reads.
• No Python and no trellis CLI at runtime — it only reads the JSON Trellis writes.
• The pill's title is truncated to 48 characters, while the rows in the task-tree and workspace dropdowns are not; the seats it attaches to are dsh internals, so a dsh upgrade may move them.
