dsh-helper-plugin-workspace-browser

Also known as workspace-browser, dsh /browser, workspace browser, workspace_browser

A Chrome just for this workspace. You watch the page in the sidebar; the model reads and clicks.

Workspace browser: the capsule menu by the composer, and the sidebar with the live page plus tab thumbnails
Click the capsule by the composer to open the menu. In the sidebar, the live page sits on top and the tab thumbnails sit underneath.

The painful case with DeepSeek Harness (dsh): you ask the model to open a page, and it attaches to the browser you already use — logins, tabs, and focus all mixed together. dsh-helper-plugin-workspace-browser is a dsh plugin that starts a separate Chrome, with a debugging port, for the current workspace. No extension, and it leaves your daily browser alone. Each workspace has its own profile, so sites need a fresh login. Chrome must already be installed.

Thirty-second feel

Closing the window returns to not running; it does not reopen itself. Steps that already worked can be saved as a skill — the procedure, not the element numbers from one snapshot.

Versus an extension

Install into dsh

dsh plugin --profile web add github:x102201/dsh-helper-plugin-workspace-browser
  1. Run the command on the dsh profile you use.
  2. Restart dsh web.
  3. Click Start in the capsule, or type /browser in the composer.

This is a dsh plugin (per profile) — not a dsh-helper feature. If you run several dsh instances on one desktop, see dsh-helper. Config and deep notes live in the repo.
