dsh-file-mentions 📎

English | 简体中文

Clickable file paths in DSH replies — a DeepSeek Harness (DSH) web plugin with a Codex-style experience.

Unofficial project: independently developed and maintained by a community member, not an official DeepSeek product.

Screenshot

Inline paths wrapped in backticks (`~/...`, absolute, relative, or Chinese paths) become click-to-open; each clickable path carries a small folder-icon button that reveals the file in your file manager; a "📎 mentioned files" chip list at the turn tail covers the rest. URLs are already auto-linked by the official renderer, so this plugin leaves them alone.

The external-drive whitelist (Settings → Plugins → file-mentions): local files in your home directory are clickable by default; only external drives / network volumes (e.g. /Volumes/USB) need their root added here — one path per line. System-disk marker directories (/System, /etc) are rejected automatically.

Features

Supports ~/ expansion, relative paths (resolved against the session cwd), and absolute paths in macOS / Linux / Windows forms. Non-existent paths silently do nothing.

Install

This repository is an official bundle plugin (dsh.bundle + dsh.client in the root package.json), installed through the official profile manager:

dsh plugin --profile web add "github:a903067276-rgb/dsh-file-mentions#main"

Then restart dsh web (bundle layers are composed at startup; HMR does not apply). Requires pnpm on PATH (dsh plugin forwards to pnpm).

Manual mount fallback: see docs/install.md.

Usage

Have the agent wrap paths in backticks (e.g. `~/docs/plan.md`) to make them clickable inline. The tail chip list appears automatically — no configuration.

Paths outside the session directory (external drives, etc.)

Local files inside your home directory (e.g. ~/Downloads, ~/Desktop) are clickable by default — no configuration needed. For paths on an external drive / network volume (e.g. /Volumes/USB), add that root to the external-drive whitelist in Settings → Plugins → file-mentions (one path per line). Saving takes effect immediately — no restart required.

System-disk protection: whitelist roots containing system marker directories (/System, /etc, or \Windows on Windows) are rejected automatically, so a full system disk mounted externally can never be whitelisted by mistake.

Platform support

Requirements

• DSH web >= 0.1.0-rc.6 (run with npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web)
• Version compatibility (best effort — the settings card uses dual-field key+id registration to satisfy both rc.6 (id) and rc.7+ (key); verified locally on rc.6/rc.8/0.1.1-rc.2, not guaranteed on every DSH version):
  • DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 and newer (incl. 0.1.1-rc.1/rc.2): try main (default).
  • Conservative fallbacks (the last pre-0.1.1 build): DSH 0.1.0-rc.7/rc.8 → v1.0.8 (dsh plugin add github:a903067276-rgb/dsh-file-mentions#v1.0.8); DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 → frozen rc6-compat tag (no maintenance).
• Pure Node stdlib implementation — peer dependencies (@deepseek-ai/dsh-settings, @deepseek-ai/schemastery) are provided by the host
• Opening files uses the system default app / file manager (per-platform command branching)
• Maintenance policy: this plugin keeps evolving with the latest DSH releases; compatibility with older DSH versions is best-effort only and not guaranteed going forward.

How it works

• Host (lib/index.js): three routes — /api/file-mentions/check (existence check), /api/file-mentions/open (system open, mode: open/reveal, per-platform command) and /api/file-mentions/config (whitelist read/write for the settings page). All three routes are same-origin guarded. Probe surface: absolute/~/ paths are checked only inside the session cwd or user-declared whitelist roots (stored via the official settings service — immediate effect, no restart); whitelist roots are protected against system disks and symlink escapes. Pure Node stdlib; execFile avoids shell injection.
• Client (lib/client.js): a conversationEvents collector extracts paths from each reply → publishes them to turn data → the tail list filters non-existent paths before rendering; inline clicks use a document-level click delegation (the official render entry is occupied by the official "deliverables" plugin, so DOM delegation is the only viable path); inline folder-icon buttons are inserted by a MutationObserver and restored automatically after React re-renders; a settings card (sidebar section + plugin page) edits the whitelist.

See docs/architecture.md.

Notes

• Use either the official bundle install or the manual mount — never both.
• Manual mounting needs a single entry in ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml; a double entry applies the plugin twice and crashes on duplicate route registration.

Compatibility notes

• Inline clicks rely on backtick-wrapped paths (the agent-output convention, same as Codex); bare paths in prose are intentionally not clickable.
• The official "produced files" list and this plugin coexist: official wins when it has output, otherwise this plugin shows.
• Windows / Linux validation via issue or PR is welcome.
