dsh-quote-annotate

Select any passage in a DeepSeek Harness conversation, annotate it in place, and send the quote + your comment with your next message.

A small, dependency-free Web UI plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH 0.2.1-rc.3+). No build step — one hand-written browser module.

What it does

1. Select any text in the transcript (your message, an assistant reply, a tool output) → a floating Annotate button appears above the selection.
2. Click it → a floating comment box opens next to the selection (quote preview + textarea + Cancel / Save; ⌘/Ctrl+Enter saves, Esc cancels).
3. Save → the quoted passage is highlighted with a numbered badge (①). Click a badge to edit its comment later.
4. A strip the same width as the composer appears directly above the composer: ① annotations · attached to your next message — expand it to review, edit, jump back to the source, or delete each annotation.
5. Send as usual (Enter or the send button). The plugin folds every annotation into the message as a compact block:

my question …

【我的批注】

批注 1｜Assistant · turn 3
原文：
   the paragraph you selected
批注：your comment

The model therefore receives the exact quoted text, where it came from, and what you think about it — which is the whole point: no more "I meant the thing above".

Install

Requires DeepSeek Harness 0.2.1-rc.3 or newer (Web / Desktop Web UI).

Using the plugin_manager tool (or the Plugins page → Add plugin):

action: install_bundle
target: https://github.com/HansHuang2683/dsh-quote-annotate

or point it at a local checkout directory, or at a packed tarball:

pnpm pack --pack-destination dist
# then: install_bundle, target: <abs path>/dist/dsh-quote-annotate-1.0.0.tgz

After installing, reload the page (in the Desktop app: Ctrl+R, or fully quit and relaunch). Plugin Manager → Plugins shows “Selection Annotations”.

Design notes

• Official seams only. shell.overlay renders the selection toolbar, the comment box, the numbered badges and the annotation strip; conversation.input.overlay holds an invisible “input bridge” that exposes the composer's inputActions to the plugin. Standard slot props useInput / inputActions (setDraft, submit) drive the composer.
• Highlighting without touching foreign DOM. Highlights use the CSS Custom Highlight API (CSS.highlights) over Ranges rebuilt from stored text offsets, so no other plugin's DOM is wrapped or mutated.
• Send interception is deterministic. On Enter (capture phase, IME-aware) or a send-button click, the plugin writes body + annotation block into the composer, waits until the new draft is actually published, then calls inputActions.submit() itself. The native submit path never reads a stale draft.
• Shared state on window. HMR can leave the two halves of a bundle from different module generations; the annotation list / bridge live on window.__DSH_QUOTE_ANNOTATE_SHARED__ so both halves always see the same state.
• Light / dark themes. Reads the host theme service (getTheme().active.colorScheme), reacts to theme/change, falls back to the luminance of --dsw-alias-bg-base, and renders its own two palettes (--dqa-*). Filled accents deliberately use --dsw-static-deepseek-500, because --dsw-alias-brand-primary is white in dark mode.

Known limitations

• The composer is not focused automatically after saving an annotation (DSH exposes no “focus the editor and keep the caret” seam); click the composer and start typing.
• Badges and highlights depend on the transcript's data-chat-flow-key / data-chat-turn attributes. If a future DSH changes them, highlighting degrades gracefully (annotations still listed and still sent) — the send fold only uses text.
• A long quote is truncated to 1200 characters in the sent block (the annotation list keeps the whole quote).
• Web / Desktop Web UI only; the TUI is not supported.
• If the annotation strip ever disappears or annotations stop being attached after a plugin update, fully quit and relaunch DSH — a half-mounted bundle after hot reload is a known host quirk, and the strip's 「Insert」 button is a manual fallback that always works.

File	Purpose
client.js	Entire feature: selection tracking, floating UI, badges, strip, send interception
index.js	Inert Host half — exists so DSH mounts the package's dsh.client entry
cordis.patch.yml	Bundle patch inserting the quote-annotate row
locale/{zh,en}.json	Plugin Manager title / description
