# @falser101/mascot
[中文](README.md) | [English](README.en.md)

A floating companion for the DeepSeek Harness web GUI (`dsh web`). A draggable cartoon cat or dog sits on the UI, changes expression with the current session, and chats in short lines. Drag it, click it, or double-click to tuck it away. Skins live on their own **Companion** settings page, picked from a thumbnail grid.

## Looks

### Expressions
Same character, same pose — only the face changes. The orange cat as an example:

It blinks while idle. Whole-body motion kicks in for thinking, tool calls, streaming, done, and errors.
## Features
- **Session-aware.** Queued, waiting for you, thinking, calling a tool, writing, done, or errored — each has its own face and line. Display-only: it never emits session events.
- **Draggable.** It stays where you drop it. A resize clamps it back into the viewport.
- **Shrinks while you type.** Focus in the composer while it is idle tucks it into a mini face in the same corner; it expands again after you send.
- **Status bubble.** Busy lines are companion copy (“Still busy, hang on”). Tool names stay off unless you hover or turn them on in settings. While idle it can pop on a quiet / standard / lively cadence. The first appearance says “Drag me — hover for buttons” once.
- **AI vignettes (off by default).** When on, idle lines may come from the **current default model** (and use that model’s quota). Missing keys or a failed call fall back to the built-in pool.
- **Hover comfort.** The bubble switches to a softer line, e.g. “Hold on, I am thinking hard.”
- **Parallel work.** A badge appears when several sessions or sub-agents are running. Hover for the list; click a row to jump there.
- **Show / hide.** Settings → General, or Settings → Companion, has a “Show floating pet” switch. Off removes it from the UI. Right-click → Hide does the same.
- **Entries on the pet.** Click for a playful line (cats meow, dogs woof). Double-click collapses to a mini face. Hover shows a small dock: next look, jump to the current task, hide, open Settings. Right-click pins the dock. On the bottom edge the dock opens above the pet; on the left it opens to the right, so it stays on screen.
- **Working and writing have their own faces.** Tool calls squint; streaming opens a small speaking mouth — not the same neutral face with a CSS wobble.
- **The longer the wait, the bigger the pose.** A yawn, then a stretch, while the model is working. Ambient clips still play while idle. Cadence follows Quiet / Standard / Lively.
- Copy follows the UI language (Chinese / English). Motion stops when the system asks for reduced motion.
## Moods
| Mood | When | What you see |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Idle | Nothing running | Breathe + blink, “Here whenever you need me~” |
| Queued | Message sent, not started | A hop, “Got it! Joining the queue” |
| Confirming | Approval or a question waiting | Head tilt, “Waiting for your approval~” |
| Thinking | Running, no output yet | Thoughtful, “Let me think…” |
| Working | A tool is running | A sway, “Still busy, hang on~” |
| Streaming | Answer tokens arriving | “Writing the answer…” |
| Done | Turn just finished (~4 s) | A cheer, “Done! 🎉” |
| Error | Turn failed | A shake, “Oops, something went wrong…” |
| Greeting | You just switched sessions (~4 s) | “Hi there!” |
## Install
You need a DeepSeek Harness that can run `dsh --profile web` (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-*` ≥ `0.1.0-rc.5`).
Add it to the web profile with the official command:
```sh
dsh plugin --profile web add @falser101/mascot
```
Restart `dsh --profile web`. The companion appears in the lower-right corner; Settings gains a **Companion** page. Without npm: `dsh plugin --profile web add github:falser101/dsh-mascot`.
For a local checkout:
```sh
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-mascot
```
Remove it with:
```sh
dsh plugin --profile web remove @falser101/mascot
```
## Develop
```sh
pnpm build # emit lib/ (host half + browser bundle)
pnpm watch # hot-reload the client half
pnpm test
```
`lib/` is committed, so git and npm installs need no extra build step.
To swap art: overwrite the same-named jpgs under `docs//` → `node scripts/build-art-assets.mjs` → rebuild. Prompt pack: [`docs/character-art-prompts.md`](docs/character-art-prompts.md).
