Click the Effort row (second row of the official model menu) instead of the built-in level list: an Effort slider panel pops up — OFF/MAX scale ticks, Low/Medium/High/Ultracode status shown live, and after the panel closes the effort value stays color-coded on the menu row and on the model-seat trigger button.

Demo screenshots (menu-row coloring / model-seat trigger / Effort panel — effort level is color-coded):

Menu row	Model-seat trigger	Effort panel

🔧 v0.2.5 — Fixed the real landing bug in universal effort provisioning: explicit models arrays are now replaced as a whole (dsh-settings path ops cannot traverse array nodes, otherwise models is corrupted, the schema rejects the write, and provisioning fails silently).

🔧 v0.2.4 — Fixed universal effort provisioning never landing when the pi-ai settings section registers late: provisioning now retries until the section is ready (registration happens after the adapter and does not emit settings/updated).

🆕 v0.2.3 — The model-seat trigger button (「model · effort」 above the composer) also color-codes its effort name, persistent after the menu closes.

🔧 v0.2.2 — Fixed menu-row coloring breaking on whole-tree menu remounts: painting now does a full scan and re-paints on any DOM change (throttled), and infers the color from the effort text when the panel has not reported one yet.

🆕 v0.2.1 — After the panel closes, the effort value on the model menu's Effort row keeps its level color (OFF rose-gray / Low amber / Medium blue / High purple / Ultracode bright purple with glow).

✨ v0.2.0 — Any custom third-party model/provider gets working thinking-effort control (adapter metadata provisioning + pi-ai wire-level provisioning, hot-applied).

🎛️ v0.1.0 — Initial release: intercepts the official Effort menu and shows a Claude Code–style Effort slider panel.

Features

Only reasoningEffort is written — model selection is untouched. Models with no multi-level reasoning show 「当前模型不提供多档推理等级」 (no multi-level reasoning available).

Universal effort provisioning (v0.2.0)

Any custom third-party model/provider gets thinking-effort control that actually works on the wire:

• Adapter metadata provisioning (host): models without reasoning metadata get the universal 5-level scale injected (off/low/medium/high/max → OFF/Low/Medium/High/Ultracode), so the official model menu and this panel are selectable and request validation passes;
• Wire-level provisioning (host, pi-ai): for llm-pi-ai models missing reasoningEfforts, the dictionary and compat wire dialect are patched in (hot-applied, no restart); pi-ai translates the level into real wire fields (reasoning_effort / thinking / OpenRouter reasoning.effort, etc.);
• Client fallback scale: if the directory returns no reasoning metadata, the panel still opens with the universal 5-level scale;
• Existing user declarations (reasoningEfforts: false or a custom dictionary) are always respected and never overwritten.

Supported wire dialects for custom endpoints (set effort-slider.defaultDialect or routes.<route>):

Compatibility

Install / Uninstall

# Install (recommended, same bundle mechanism as dsh-navbar)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:2768651338/dsh-effort-slider#main

# Build locally and install (clone this repository)
pnpm build
dsh plugin --profile web add file:./dsh-effort-slider

After installing, restart DeepSeek Harness and press Ctrl+F5 once in the web page. The lib/ artifacts are committed, so GitHub installs need no local build.

Quick Start

1. Install the plugin, restart DSH, press Ctrl+F5.
2. Open the model menu above the composer → click Effort → the Effort slider panel appears.
3. Drag to choose a level; it snaps on release. After the panel closes, the effort value keeps its color on the menu row.
4. For custom models with no thinking effort, the panel opens with the universal 5-level scale; pi-ai models get their wire dictionaries patched on the host side (hot-applied).

A [effort-slider] intercept row: ... line in DevTools Console means interception is working.

Configuration

effort-slider:
  enabled: true          # provisioning master switch
  defaultDialect: effort # global default wire dialect
  routes:
    my-gateway: deepseek # per-route override

Permissions & Data

How It Works

The browser half follows the official external-plugin convention: classic script + window.__ModuleLoader__.load factory; react / react-dom/client / react/jsx-runtime are platform externals; effort.module.css is hashed and inlined by lightningcss, injected as <style data-plugin> when the factory runs.
