dsh-computer-use

dsh-computer-use

Self-contained DeepSeek Harness plugin that gives the agent computer use: read windows, click, type, and screenshot any desktop app — through the computer-use runtime of the locally installed ChatGPT desktop app. macOS (Apple Silicon) only.

It vendors only the macOS launch path of the original computer-use integration: it drops the multi-platform host, the setup/update machinery, and any separate CLI, and reuses the CUA runtime of the installed ChatGPT app in place (never copied or re-signed).

Prerequisites

• macOS on Apple Silicon.
• The official ChatGPT desktop app installed at /Applications/ChatGPT.app (supplies the original CUA runtime). The plugin reads it in place; it never downloads or modifies it.
• DeepSeek Harness >=0.2.1-rc.2 <0.3.

How it works

DSH Host process (plugin)
  └─ spawns <app>/Contents/Resources/cua_node/bin/node  runtime/launcher.mjs
       ├─ resolveInstalledMacApp()      validate ChatGPT.app (signature/team/arch/manifest)
       ├─ environment()                 build the CUA REPL's env (NODE_REPL_*/SKY_*)
       ├─ configureMacosLifecycle()     wrap Sky with runtime/macos_sky_service.mjs (turn-ended hook)
       ├─ startOriginalHost()           lifetime socket + control bridge (runtime/macos_host.mjs)
       └─ spawn the original cua-repl.mjs (the stdio MCP server) with inherited stdio

The plugin then talks MCP to the CUA REPL and registers its js / js_reset tools on DSH's tool registry, injects the runtime's instructions as a system-prompt section, forwards native-app approvals through DSH's question card, and ends each turn upstream (Stop/Interrupt) on DSH's turn/end.

Config

The bundle patch inserts one row with a single option:

appPath: /Applications/ChatGPT.app   # path to the installed ChatGPT app

Vendored dependency

@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.30.0 is vendored under node_modules/ because DSH links local bundles (link:) and does not install their npm dependencies. DSH ships the newer @modelcontextprotocol/client (v2); adapters/client.mjs is written against the v1 SDK, so the v1 SDK is pinned and committed here. If you move to a file: install or publish to npm, dependencies in package.json already declares the correct version.
