Adds a lightweight "Quick Chat" entry to DeepSeek Harness: open a small window to ask quick questions without interrupting the main session, optionally carrying the current session's full history so the quick chat can keep the topic going. ## Features - **Sidebar entry**: right below the "New Session" button, styled to match it. - **Bottom-right chat window**: a rounded panel with streaming output. - **Model & reasoning effort**: switch model and reasoning strength via the gear button, defaulting to `deepseek-v4-flash · low`. - **Context (optional)**: when starting a new chat, optionally carry the current session's full history (off by default). - **History**: every quick chat is kept; continue, rename, or delete, and it survives a restart. ## Install Install from a local directory: ```bash dsh plugin --profile desktop add ./dsh-plugin-quick-chat ``` Or package as a tarball and install: ```bash dsh plugin --profile desktop add ./dsh-plugin-quick-chat-0.1.0.tgz ``` Restart DSH after installing so both the host and client halves reload. ## Usage 1. Click the "快速会话" (Quick Chat) button below "New Session" in the sidebar to open the bottom-right window. 2. Use the gear button to pick a model and reasoning strength; use the context button to decide whether to carry the current session's context (off by default). 3. Type a message and press Enter to send; the reply streams in. 4. Click the "☰" button in the window to browse history — click an item to continue, or use "rename / delete" to manage. ## Data storage All quick chats are stored in `~/.dsh/quick-chat/store.json`; they never appear in the main session list. ## Compatibility Tested against DSH `0.1.2-rc.1`. Text-only chat — no tools or subagents. ## License [MIT](LICENSE)
