DSH Review Mode

An independent second look at your AI conversations.

Actively under development / 正在开发中. This is an experimental community plugin for DeepSeek Harness, with support for reading local Codex conversations. It is not an official DeepSeek or OpenAI product. The internal package version 2.1.0 identifies the tested development snapshot, not a stable release.

Version 2.1.0 was exercised through ten user-facing edit/restart/test cycles plus five regression rounds on macOS. It shows concise, expandable insights, isolates review output from the main assistant context, restores the selected target after restart, and lets the new-result notice open the latest review. Start with the visual, plain-language SPEC; see the current implementation contract and iteration evidence for technical details. Model judgments still require human checking.

Why build this?

An AI conversation can keep moving while the original goal gets lost. A confident answer can hide missing evidence. A user can spend an entire session refining a small detail that does not advance the task.

Review Mode explores a separate reviewer that reads a bounded evidence package and gives concrete feedback in a side panel. It considers goal drift, excessive focus on a detail, and the reasoning behind choices, with three perspectives: the user's instructions, the whole conversation, and the AI's responses.

What is in this prototype?

Capability	Current implementation
Conversation selection	Current DSH session, another local DSH session, or a local Codex conversation
Independent review	A separate subagent receives prepared evidence instead of inheriting the full parent context
Side-panel output	Quotes, a recap, case-specific analysis, and concrete advice
Automatic monitoring	A selected conversation is checked for new user messages; polling is separate from model review
Evidence budgeting	Prioritized sections, length limits, and explicit notices when evidence is omitted
Observable state	Empty, reviewing, failed, and ready states; runtime identity and liveness diagnostics
Review discipline	Reviewer tool access is disabled; feedback distinguishes user decisions from agent actions

These are implemented mechanisms, not a claim of proven review accuracy or production reliability. See validation limits.

A small example

Synthetic illustration — not a captured model result.

Request: “Compare two approaches and show the trade-off.”
AI response: Recommends one approach without presenting the comparison.
Review: The requested comparison is missing. Ask for one shared criterion, evidence for each approach, and a clear account of what remains uncertain.

Try the development snapshot

The initial baseline is DeepSeek Harness Desktop 0.2.0-rc.2 on macOS arm64, and Node.js 24+ for the development scripts. Other platforms and newer Harness versions need validation.

git clone https://github.com/hqa-shu/dsh-review-mode.git
cd dsh-review-mode
node scripts/prepare-runtime.mjs
node scripts/check.mjs
node scripts/run-tests.mjs

The preparation script reads selected SDK packages from your installed Harness application into this checkout's ignored node_modules/. It does not change the application or your profile. For another installation path, pass --asar /absolute/path/to/app.asar. The public repository contains this plugin's source, not a copy of the host SDK.

Next, install the checkout's absolute directory path using Harness's Plugins page. Restart Harness, create a session with 审核模式, and choose a target in the review panel. Follow the complete installation guide, especially the model-processing notice. A clean-clone installation in another user's environment has not yet been verified.

Privacy and model processing

Local log access does not mean local-only inference. The host reads conversation evidence from local DSH/Codex records and passes the selected evidence to a reviewer using the configured model provider. If that provider runs remotely, the evidence leaves your machine.

The reviewer has no tools, but the host plugin reads local files and writes caches, diagnostics, and review state. Automatic secret redaction is not guaranteed. Use non-sensitive test conversations first; see data handling.

Help shape the next version

Useful contributions include reproducible UI bugs, evidence-handling edge cases, compatibility reports, and synthetic examples where review advice helps or fails. Start with CONTRIBUTING.md. Please remove private conversation content from reports.

Planned work includes a cleaner installation path, broader compatibility checks, stronger data minimization, review-quality evaluation, and more polished onboarding. Track the roadmap.
