dsh-stats-hud
A sci-fi HUD for DeepSeek Harness: the session's stats become game-style level bars in a vertical column fixed to the far right edge of the web UI — without touching the original stats line.

Instruments (all-English, LLM terminology)
| Instrument | Data | Full scale | Past full scale |
|---|---|---|---|
CLOCK badge | Local time (24h) + DS API PEAK / DS API OFF PEAK rate | Peak = Beijing 09:00-12:00 / 14:00-18:00 (auto-converted from local time) | PEAK orange tint, OFF-PEAK green tint |
STEPS / TURN rolling rows | Steps / turns as odometer drums (like the CONTEXT rows) | — | Drums spin up on mount, roll on change |
LLM / TOOLS dual bar | Two columns (labels over values), bar segments = raw LLM:TOOLS time ratio | No cap — 2:1 time means 2:1 bar | — |
THROUGHPUT gauge | tokens/s (throughput), centered title, combined centered readout (146 tok/s) | Redline auto-scales 200→300→400… (arc ticks follow) | — |
CONTEXT USAGE bar | Context-window usage % with 3 segments: Sys Prompt (gray) / Tools (blue) / Messages (purple) by token ratio | 0-100% | ≥80% whole bar turns solid red; hover shows the three token counts |
CACHE HIT bar | Cache-hit % | 0-100% | <50% red, <80% yellow, ≥80% green |
CONTEXT rolling counter | Three odometer rows: CACHE HIT (green) / CACHE MISSED (orange) / OUTPUT (pink) | Drums spin up from 0 on mount; digits roll up on increase (carry 9→0), down on decrease | — |
While the agent is running the whole panel breathes and bars pulse.
Hovering the CONTEXT USAGE bar pops up a tooltip with the token breakdown:

Responsive layout
The HUD adapts to the free space right of the chat column (measured live with a ResizeObserver, so sidebar drags, the details drawer and window resizes all count):
| Tier | Condition (free space) | Shows |
|---|---|---|
full | ≥ 200px | Everything |
mini | ≥ 90px | Clock (short PEAK/OFF PEAK badge) + compact rolling rows (Step/Turn/HIT/MISS/OUT) |
hidden | < 90px | Nothing (element stays mounted, display:none) |
The mini tier in a narrow window:

Requirements
- DeepSeek Harness
dsh(tested on 0.1.0-rc.6, macOS) - pnpm (for plugin management)
Install
# from a local checkout
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-stats-hud
# or straight from GitHub
dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/lauytgary/dsh_hud
Then restart dsh web (loader entries are scanned at boot) and refresh the page. The package is installed as a link: dependency — after editing lib/client.js locally, only a restart is needed, no reinstall.
The plugin then shows up in Settings → Plugins:

Uninstall
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-stats-hud
How it works
- Registers into the
conversation.composer.dockslot (iddsh-stats-hud, order 1) — only to receive the session-scoped hooks (useSession/useProjection); the panel itself isposition: fixed, takes no layout space, and the stock stats line stays untouched. - Data comes from the same projections the stock UI uses:
useProjection("sessionStats"),useProjection("tokenUsage"),useProjection("contextPressure")anduseProjection("contextBreakdown")— zero host-side changes. exports.inject = ["slots"]is mandatory: DSH's ctx is a strict proxy, and accessing an undeclared service throws (cannot get property "locale" without inject).- The panel is
pointer-events: none(click-through); only the CONTEXT USAGE bar re-enables pointer events so its hover tooltip works.
