Discord Rich Presence for DeepSeek Harness

Your chat, your status, your tokens — right in Discord.

You know that moment when you look at your Discord profile and it still says "Playing: nothing in particular"? This plugin fixes that small, silly thing.

While you work in DeepSeek Harness, your Discord card quietly shows the chat you have open, whether the agent is working, how many tokens you have used today, and a timer that starts with the turn. No commands, no copy-paste, no dashboards.

The real card, captured from Discord. The screenshot is in Russian; the plugin also speaks English and Chinese.

What you get

• The chat you are actually in. Switch tabs and the card follows you.
• A living status. Working while the agent is running, Idle when it is waiting for you.
• Today at a glance. Total tok/d is the token total for today, not a lifetime number that never changes.
• A timer with a point. It starts when the work starts, so the card shows how long the current turn has been going.
• Zero setup by default. A shared Application ID is already filled in. The card works as soon as the plugin is installed.
• No extra plugin. Token counts come from DSH's built-in token meter. If it is unavailable, the plugin reads the session log directly.
• Three languages. English, Russian, and Chinese for both the settings and the Discord card. English is the default.

Install

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/MakotoNikki/dsh-discord-rich.git
   

2. In DSH Desktop, open Plugins and install the dsh-discord-rich folder as a bundle. If you prefer a package, run npm pack in the folder and install the resulting .tgz.

3. Restart DSH Desktop.

4. Keep Discord open. Any client with local Rich Presence IPC works: Stable, PTB, Canary, Vesktop, Equicord, and friends.

Open Settings → Discord Rich Presence. The status dot should turn green and the preview should show your chat. That is it.

The card already works with the shared Application ID. You do not need to create a Discord application just to try it.

Make it yours

The name at the top of the Discord card is the name of the Discord application, not something the plugin invents. The shared app is called DeepSeekHarness. If you want your own name, avatar, or assets:

1. Open the Discord Developer Portal and create an application.
2. Copy its Application ID from General Information. This is a public ID, not a token.
3. Paste it into Settings → Discord Rich Presence and press Save.
4. Restart Discord if the old name is still cached.

Languages

The settings header has a small RU / EN / CN switch. It changes everything at once: the settings page and the Discord card. The choice is saved in the plugin config, and EN is used when nothing has been chosen yet.

Language	Status	Tokens today	Hover text
English	Working / Idle	Total tok/d: 255M	1.2M tokens in this chat
Русский	Работает / Ожидает	Токенов за день: 255M	1.2M токенов за чат
中文	工作中 / 空闲	今日 Token：255M	本聊天 1.2M token

The hover detail

Discord can show a small tooltip when someone hovers over the large image. To make it show the token count for the current chat:

1. In the Discord Developer Portal, open Rich Presence → Art Assets.
2. Upload assets/icon-1024.png with the key dsh.
3. In the plugin settings, open Icon & tooltip and set the asset key to dsh.
4. Leave the custom tooltip empty. The plugin will fill in the chat token count in the selected language.

If you use the shared app, the dsh asset may already be there. If hover does nothing, a custom app with your own uploaded asset is the reliable option.

Privacy

Everything is local.

• The plugin reads token counts from DSH's built-in session projection cache, or from the session log if that cache is unavailable.
• It talks to Discord over the local IPC pipe.
• It does not read, store, or send your Discord token.
• It does not make network requests.
• Only the activity text and the optional large-image key are sent to Discord.

Troubleshooting

What you see	What to try
Nothing appears in Discord	Make sure Discord is running, then restart DSH Desktop. Check that the status dot is green in the plugin settings.
The card says "DeepSeekHarness"	That is the shared app's name. Create your own Discord application to use a different name.
The status is stuck on "Connecting"	Click Reconnect in the settings. Make sure Discord's Activity Privacy → Share your detected activities is enabled.
Hover does nothing	Upload the icon as an Art Asset with the key dsh and set the same key in the plugin settings.
The chat title is wrong	Switch to another chat once, or wait for the 15-second refresh. The card follows the active tab, not the last message.
The old app name is still cached	Quit Discord completely and start it again.

How it works

The web part of the plugin sits in the session header and reports which chat is open to the host. The host reads DSH's built-in session projection cache (or the native session log if that cache is unavailable), builds the activity, and sends it to Discord through the local IPC socket. No server, no account, no cloud.
