DSH File Picker

A portable DeepSeek Harness Web GUI bundle that lets you select regular files anywhere on the local DSH host, then makes the chosen paths available to the active conversation.

It is designed for the case where the file is outside the current workspace: Downloads, Desktop, another project, or any other readable host directory.

Install

Install the versioned GitHub release into the default web DSH profile:

npx --yes github:shaomingbo/dsh-file-picker#v0.1.1

For a different profile:

npx --yes github:shaomingbo/dsh-file-picker#v0.1.1 --profile web

Restart DSH and refresh the existing Web GUI. The installer adds the package dependency and its Cordis bundle row to ~/.dsh/profiles/<profile>/package.json and runs pnpm install.

Use

Open a normal DSH Web conversation.
Click 📁 in the composer tool row.
Browse the host filesystem, select one or more files, then click Apply.
Send your next prompt. The model receives the selected paths in a <selected_files> context block and can use DSH's read tool when appropriate.

Applying a new selection replaces the selection for that conversation. Clear removes it. The selection is kept only in the running DSH process; restart DSH to discard it.

Security and privacy

The picker returns paths and file kinds only; it never reads or uploads file contents.
The selected paths are sent only to the model as conversation context after you apply them.
Its private browser-to-host RPC is limited to localhost/loopback browsers. This intentionally prevents filesystem browsing from a remote Web GUI authority.
It accepts only regular files for selection; directories, devices, and sockets cannot enter the selected-file context.

Compatibility

This bundle targets the current DSH Web profile architecture (dsh.client, connection.rpc, systemPrompt.context, and the conversation.input.left / shell.overlay slots). It has been checked against DSH 0.1.0-rc.6.

Update

Install a later tag with an explicit source:

npx --yes github:shaomingbo/dsh-file-picker#v0.1.1 -- --source github:shaomingbo/dsh-file-picker#v0.1.0

Then restart DSH and refresh the Web GUI.

Uninstall

Remove dsh-file-picker from both dependencies and dsh.profile.bundles in your profile's package.json, run pnpm install from that profile directory, then restart DSH.

Development

npm run check

The tests exercise the host filesystem/RPC and prompt-context behavior using a temporary directory. The browser bundle is syntax-checked as part of the same command.
