dsh-desktop-pet

A desktop pet for DeepSeek Harness: the official whale mark lives in the shell overlay, floats in a circular sea whose level mirrors your DeepSeek API balance, and reacts to your agent's every move.

Features

• Live agent status — the whale rests, thinks, works, or cries (❗) exactly as your agent does, with a status pill that shows the phase, the current tool, and elapsed time.
• Balance as sea level — the circular sea around the whale fills to balance / balanceScale (¥100 = full by default), the surface is a scrolling wave with a slow tide, and the amount is printed on the water. Low balance also makes the whale droop and complain.
• Interactive — click to pet it: a springy jump most of the time, or a rare (40%) charged dive with a 360° spin that lands with a big splash, a high rebound, a little hop, and a final tiny splash. Random chatter lines (zh/en) per state, floating hearts, rising bubbles while thinking, drag it anywhere, minimize to a dot.
• Zero runtime dependencies — the bundle ships prebuilt; all @deepseek-ai/* services come from the harness itself, so installing needs no build step and no build authorization.

Install

Prerequisite: a DeepSeek Harness install (web profile recommended).

# GitHub direct install (prebuilt artifacts, no build authorization needed)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:FenyxHuang/dsh-desktop-pet

# or from a local checkout
dsh plugin --profile web add link:/path/to/dsh-desktop-pet

# or as a tarball
pnpm pack
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-desktop-pet-0.1.0.tgz

Restart dsh after installing (bundle layers compose at startup). The whale appears in the bottom-right corner of the web UI.

Configuration

The bundle applies the cordis.patch.yml layer, which mounts two rows:

The host row reads your DeepSeek API key through the harness's normal credentials (DEEPSEEK_API_KEY) and refetches https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance at most every 15 seconds. Override any key in your own profile's cordis.patch.yml:

- update:
    - id: pet-status
      config:
        balanceScale: 500
        balanceRefetchMs: 60000

How it works

One npm package carries both halves, mirroring the official split packages:

• Host half (lib/index.js) — a Cordis service (PetStatusService) that folds agent/status, tools/pre-execute, tools/result, and agent/error events into a per-session snapshot and serves it over a generated Typert Remote (petStatus.snapshot). The lib/typert.* artifacts are generated by @deepseek-ai/dsh-typert-generator and committed, so consumers install prebuilt code.
• Browser half (lib/client.js) — a module-loader bundle that mounts its own Remote contribution, polls it once per second for the current session, and registers the shell-overlay widget. React, Cordis, and the platform modules stay external (the app provides them); everything else is inlined.

The package declares no runtime dependencies: the loader resolves @deepseek-ai/* names from the dsh install itself, which is the official plugin contract.

Development

The repo is a self-contained single package (TypeScript + tsdown). Building and testing require an enclosing DeepSeek Harness checkout (the tests alias @deepseek-ai/* to its source tree):

# from inside a harness checkout (e.g. <harness>/.dsh-build/dsh-desktop-pet)
pnpm install
pnpm run build          # tsc both faces + tsdown host bundle + browser bundle
pnpm run test           # 34 pass; the 7 jsdom widget tests need a supported Node (^22.19 || >=24)

Regenerate the Typert artifacts only when the Remote surface changes, by copying the output of the harness's own build for the equivalent package and re-patching the package name, or by running the official generator in a <workspace>/packages/* layout (its discovery requires that shape).
