no-need-workspace

English | 简体中文

A DeepSeek Harness bundle that adds a No workspace action to the blank-session workspace picker. It defers the folder until the first message and keeps all such sessions grouped under one No Need Workspace parent.

Preview

The blank-session workspace picker with No workspace selected.

Behavior

• Clicking No workspace only ensures and selects the shared bucket workspace at $DSH_HOME/workspaces; it does not create a per-session folder.
• The first message in that session creates $DSH_HOME/workspaces/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-mm-ss (a numeric suffix is added when the same second already has a folder) and switches the session's working directory to it.
• The session header keeps pointing at the bucket, so the left sidebar shows every such session under the No Need Workspace group. Timestamped folders are not registered as separate workspaces and therefore do not form a folder tree.
• The existing Add workspace… action still uses the composed directory picker; the sidebar + action is unchanged.

$DSH_HOME is the configured Harness home ($DSH_HOME), falling back to ~/.dsh. No folders are deleted automatically.

Install

DSH ships its plugin manager as a bundle. Install no-need-workspace from the Web Plugins page by package name, or through the plugin_manager agent tool:

{ "action": "install_bundle", "target": "no-need-workspace@0.2.1" }

The package declares dsh.bundle.patch, so installation selects the bundle and inserts its single Host/Client row.

DSH market index

The repository root contains market.json, a format-1 DSH plugin market index. Host it at a public HTTPS URL (for example the raw GitHub URL of this file) and add that URL in DSH Settings → Plugin Market. The index lists the npm source of 0.2.1; later releases are appended by the Release workflow described below, with the version's publish time as publishTimestamp.

Releasing

1. Bump version in package.json and commit it on main.

2. Tag the commit and push the tag:

   git tag v0.2.1
   git push origin v0.2.1
   

The Release workflow checks that the tag matches package.json and points at a commit on main, publishes the package to npm, then runs scripts/update-market.mjs and commits the new market.json entry. Publishing uses npm trusted publishing: the package trusts this repository and release.yml once (npm → package → Trusted publishing, or npm trust github), and the job authenticates through GitHub OIDC with the id-token: write permission. No npm token secret is stored. Publishing the same version twice is refused by npm, so a rerun after a partial failure starts from a clean state.

Compatibility

• Requires DSH >=0.2.1-rc.2 <0.3.0 (engines.dsh).
• The browser half deliberately shadows the shipped conversation.hero.workspace slot (a single slot, registered at priority -100). It depends on that slot's owner props and on the client workspaces.rename / uiWorkspace.pickDirectory services from the pinned DSH line. Re-verify the picker after a DSH upgrade.
• Do not install this package together with another plugin that registers the same /no-need-workspace/ensure-bucket route, and do not run two auto-workspace plugins at once: each would assign its own timestamped folder on the first message.

Security

The Host half registers one loopback-only, same-origin POST route guarded by the x-no-need-workspace: 1 header. It only creates empty directories under $DSH_HOME/workspaces. It adds no model prompt, tool, or telemetry.
