# dsh-mindmap-chat > Chat branch tree plugin · Mind-map of conversation branches for DeepSeek Harness > > 聊天分支树插件 · DeepSeek Harness 对话分支思维导图 **English** | [中文](README.md) --- **dsh-mindmap-chat (Chat Branch Tree) is a conversation-branch manager for DeepSeek Harness: it renders every branch of the same conversation tree as a live mind-map. The trunk is the main vertical line spanning all rounds; forks sprout on the same horizontal line; each branch occupies its own column and a new branch shows only its post-fork content; fully-parallel siblings align on the same horizontal line. It also features group-level archiving, re-parenting branches into groups, pre-compaction review, keyword search, and session archive/delete.** --- ## ✨ Features ### 1. Mind-map view (Flowith-style live tree) - Trunk = the main line spanning all rounds; forks sprout on the **same horizontal line** - Each branch occupies exactly one column; column headers show branch numbers in creation order - A new branch shows only its **post-fork content**; after the trunk is archived the most-original branch becomes the new trunk - Fully-parallel siblings align on the same horizontal line; overlapping siblings shift down automatically ### 2. Left sidebar conversation tree (groups) - Sessions are aggregated into **groups**; groups with 2+ members render as collapsible group folders - The "More" menu can re-parent any session **into a group**: choose to merge all related branches (Yes) or move only the current session (No); child sessions take its original place - Archive, delete (terminal soft-delete), and pre-compaction fold blocks (default open/collapsed is configurable) ### 3. Compaction support - Compaction history is shown as a folded "pre-compaction summary" block; default open/collapsed is configurable - "Compress this node" can trigger session compaction directly from the map (requires a mounted compaction service) ### 4. Search & hints - Keyword search across sessions to locate and jump quickly - The map shows a loading-performance hint: more branches = slower load/render; with ~7–8 branches full load + render may take up to 20 seconds --- ## 🚀 Install (one command) Requires DSH with the web profile. ```bash # via npm (recommended) npm exec -- dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mindmap-chat # or via GitHub repo npm exec -- dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/DeepVite/dsh-mindmap-chat.git ``` **Refresh the browser** after install.
