ds-balance

A minimal DeepSeek account balance widget for the DeepSeek Harness (dsh) web GUI. A compact pill in the session header shows your current DeepSeek account balance, auto-refreshes, and updates on click.

Features

• Live balance pill in the session header (right side): shows currency and total balance, e.g. DS CNY 3.65.
• Auto-refresh every 60 seconds; click to refresh immediately.
• Hover for details — total / granted / topped-up breakdown, multi-currency aware.
• Secret-safe — reads DEEPSEEK_API_KEY from the DSH credential seam (~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml or the environment). The key travels only in the subprocess environment, never in the command line, source, or browser.
• Read-only & idempotent — a single HTTPS GET to the balance endpoint.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:JovanHE/ds-balance

Or from a local checkout:

dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/ds-balance

Restart dsh web after installing — client plugin discovery only runs at process start.

Usage

Zero configuration. As long as DEEPSEEK_API_KEY is set (in the DSH credential store, a .env, or the environment), the widget appears at the right of every session header.

• Click the pill to refresh.
• Hover it to see the full breakdown.
• If the key is missing or the request fails, the pill turns red and shows the reason in its tooltip.

How it works

client (browser)                         host (dsh process)
─────────────────                        ─────────────────
header pill  ── ctx.remote.commands ──>  /ds-balance command
   │                                             │
   └── parse JSON  <── result text ──────────────┘
                                              resolve DEEPSEEK_API_KEY (ctx.get("credentials"))
                                              GET https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance
                                              (ctx.shell / pwsh Invoke-RestMethod)

• Host half (lib/index.js) resolves the key via ctx.get("credentials"), then calls the DeepSeek balance endpoint through ctx.shell — the endpoint needs an Authorization header that the fetch seam cannot carry, so it runs Invoke-RestMethod in a subprocess under an explicit danger-full-access policy (the deployment's default confinement has no usable sandbox backend on Windows, and this call only reads). It registers a /ds-balance command.
• Client half (lib/client.js) registers a pill in the conversation.session.header.utilities slot and reaches the host through ctx.remote.commands, then parses the returned JSON. In a bundle client the host/styles globals are not available (those are dynamic-plugin builtins), so it injects its stylesheet via document and uses ctx.remote — mirroring the shipped bundle conventions.

Project structure

lib/
  index.js          Host half: resolve key → call balance API → register /ds-balance command
  client.js         Client half: header pill widget (bundle loader contract)

  widget-screenshot.png   Screenshot of the widget in the GUI
package.json        declares dsh.bundle + dsh.client
cordis.patch.yml    inserts the host plugin row

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness (dsh) web profile
• Node.js ≥ 20
• A configured DEEPSEEK_API_KEY credential
