DeepSeek Harness Side-Assistant Dock Ask quick side questions without interrupting or polluting the active agent loop.
Features
-
Instant Non-Blocking /btw Command: Type
/btw <question>in the chat bar. The input clears instantly (0ms) and executes in the background without disturbing the main agent run. -
Docked Floating Banner Above Composer: Appears right above the message input with a live Quantum Equalizer animation, Markdown rendering, pagination (
< 1/5 >), and collapse/expand toggle. -
Quantum Equalizer Visualizer: Five animated pill bars pulse in theme blue while your answer is being generated. During an automatic retry, all bars and the status badge switch to amber so you can always see the current state at a glance.
-
Smart Auto-Retry (5 Steps): On transient model errors the plugin retries up to 5 times with fast bursts (1 s → 1.5 s → 2 s → 2.5 s → 3 s, ~10 s total). The status badge shows
Retrying (X/5)...in amber so you are never left wondering. -
Active Session & Loop Context Awareness: Inherits the active session model dynamically and extracts recent turn history (
session.deriveMessages(), active workspace) so/btwknows exactly what you and the main agent are working on without interrupting execution. -
Accuracy-First System Prompt: Six concise positive instructions guide the model to preserve exact nouns, synthesize session history faithfully, and answer directly — no defensive over-constraints that cause hallucinations.
-
Rich Markdown Rendering: Bold, italic, inline code, numbered lists (rendered as real
1.2.numbers in theme blue), and bullet points — all without markdown tables cluttering the compact card. -
Isolated JSON Storage: Persists session Q&A history in
~/.dsh/storages/btw-history.jsonwithout modifying or polluting other plugins.
