dsh-quote-followup

English | 中文

A Web-only DeepSeek Harness plugin for quoting selected conversation text into the composer and asking a focused follow-up.

Select. Quote. Follow up.

Features

• Select text inside the Web conversation transcript to reveal a floating Quote button.
• Append a native DSH conversation-reference chip without replacing the existing draft.
• Reuse the same atomic ReferenceChipNode, conversation icon, and business color as @file / @session.
• Keep each chip compact by showing only the excerpt; the bubble icon already conveys that it is a quote.
• Follow the active DSH locale for the floating action and serialized quote frame.
• Attach the conversation turn number to the serialized frame when the selection comes from a DSH chat row, so follow-ups like "revisit turn 3" stay resolvable. Selections without a turn marker keep the provenance-free frame.
• Quote multiple excerpts; on send, the plugin codec expands each chip into a model-readable Markdown blockquote.
• Fall back to a plain-text quote when the host lacks native chip support.

TUI is intentionally unsupported.

Scope

This is a Web client-side extension. The composer and send path are owned by the browser client: chips exist only in the Lexical editor, and the model only ever sees the Markdown blockquotes the codec expands at send time — never the chips themselves. No host-side plugin surface is involved.

Chips are text-only by design. They carry the excerpt, a display-only role hint, the conversation turn ordinal when it is available, and a truncation flag — no global session-message references — so they stay valid across compaction folds and session rotation.

Install

Requires DSH >=0.1.2-rc.1.

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-quote-followup

Add dsh-quote-followup to the Web profile's dsh.profile.bundles, then restart dsh web so the server rebuilds its boot-time client bundle. Reload or reopen browser tabs that stayed open across the restart; their already-loaded JavaScript cannot update itself from a new server process.

Use

1. Select text in a conversation message.
2. Click ❐ Quote.
3. Select and quote more excerpts if needed.
4. Type the follow-up after the inserted chips and send.

Development

npm test

The regression harness covers compact native quote chips, locale switching, turn-number provenance with graceful degradation, repeated quoting, spacing after an existing draft, codec serialization, the Firefox text fallback, and current-client takeover of stale singleton/button state after a hot swap.

An opt-in assembled DSH Web regression runs the plugin through a pinned, built DSH checkout with Chromium. It covers existing drafts, repeated quoting, undo/redo, session isolation, prompt serialization, and Host-driven unavailable input.
