qiqibabyy/dsh-pet-desktop

Desktop companion pet in its own always-on-top window: imports Codex pet folders from ~/.codex/pets as-is, with affinity ranks, session-linked activity bubbles, snap-to-edge dragging, a right-click-reachable smart click-through mode and a daily token meter that mirrors the dsh-usage ledger when installed.

中文 README

A desktop-pet plugin for DeepSeek Harness — the Codex pet experience, fully ported to your desktop.

A self-contained DSH harness plugin: when the harness starts, a frame-animated pet lives on your desktop. No web-pet dependency — it ships its own state machine, chatter engine and pet registry, and subscribes directly to harness session events.

Features

  • 🖥️ Desktop overlay: frameless, always-on-top, transparent smart click-through — when on, she's inert to dragging/clicking/scroll and only a right-click still reaches her control menu (so you can never trap yourself); the info card (name/rank/feed/rename) appears only on a tap, not on hover
  • 📌 Edge-aware dragging: 1:1 pointer tracking with snap — the instant she hits a screen edge she sticks there (recycling the mouse can't drag her back off; a fresh grab moves her again). Bubbles and the settings card auto-flip near edges — grow inward at left/right, drop below her feet at the top — nothing ever clips off-screen
  • 🎬 Native Codex pet format: drop Codex pet folders straight into ~/.codex/pets — also auto-discovers ~/.dsh/pets and bundled assets/pets (pet.json + spritesheet.webp); the 9 standard tracks (idle / running-right / running-left / waving / jumping / failed / waiting / running / review) with per-pet tracks / sequences overrides
  • 💬 Live activity bubbles: harness session events project onto six phases (waiting / thinking / tool / review / done / failed); 389 built-in zh chatter lines rotating every 4 s; tool "whispers" («…」) with 9 s / 5 s cooldowns and 8 s on-screen TTL; multi-session bubble stack with +N badge
  • 💕 Affinity: pet +1 (10 s cooldown), feed +5 (costs 1 treat, 30 s cooldown), completed turn +1 (idempotent per session turn); treats accrue +1 per 30 turns and +1 per 5 h, capped at 20; affinity never decays
  • 🐋 Decoration: bundled whale status ornament, phase-driven frame segments, switchable/off in settings
  • 📈 Daily token meter: the tap card and the settings page show today's tokens (input / output / cache buckets plus call count, zeroed at local midnight, survives restarts); with dsh-usage installed it automatically mirrors that plugin's same-day ledger — same source and convention as the usage panel
  • 📊 Usage mirror: with the web dsh-pet / dsh-usage installed, balance and plan-window announcements echo onto the desktop pet (pure mirror, no dependency)
  • ⚙️ Settings integration: a “桌面宠物” section — auto-start, status + start/stop, window controls (always-on-top, click-through, hide/summon, size slider), pet picker with sprite thumbnails, decoration picker, electron path. Click-through can always be undone here — no way to trap yourself

Install

Requires DSH Desktop (or any harness host with the web server).

dsh plugin --profile web add @qiqibabyy/dsh-pet-desktop
# local development:
dsh plugin --profile web add link:../dsh-pet-desktop

Electron runtime lookup order (first hit wins):

  1. the electronPath setting
  2. DSH_PET_ELECTRON env var
  3. this package's node_modules/electron/dist/electron.exe
  4. global npm: %APPDATA%/npm/node_modules/electron (Windows)

If nothing is found the settings card says so in red; npm i -g electron fixes it everywhere.

Pets & decorations

Format details: assets/pets/README.md. Sources scanned in order (later overrides same pet ids):

  1. bundled assets/pets/
  2. ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/pets/ — native Codex directory
  3. ${DSH_HOME:-~/.dsh}/pets/ — user directory (decorations/ subfolders scanned too)
  4. extra directories from the petDirs plugin config

Pets declaring renderer: live2d / frames2d are skipped by design — this plugin renders sprite2d atlases.

Porting pets from Codex

Drop them in as-is, zero conversion: copy a Codex pet folder (pet.json + atlas) into ~/.codex/pets/<id>/ and it is discovered automatically (CODEX_HOME is honored). Both Codex manifest generations are understood — the legacy flat hatch-pet shape and v2 sprite2d blocks. No CLI needed to swap pets: harness settings → "Desktop Pet" → the appearance picker; click a thumbnail and the companion re-skins live.
