dsh-open-in-vscode

Open a workspace directory in VS Code straight from the DeepSeek Harness web GUI: every real Workspace row in the sidebar gains an Open in VSCode row inside its … overflow menu.

What it does

• The client half uses the harness's sidebar.workspaces.row-menu slot when available and falls back to a scoped compatibility adapter on the public DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 build. Both paths render the same locale-following menu row — 在 VSCode 中打开 under the Chinese locale, Open in VSCode under English.
• The row's click closes the menu and calls the host over the strict Typert Remote openInVscode/open, passing the workspace directory.
• The host half spawns the configured editor CLI on that directory (code <path> by default), detached, so the editor outlives the server.

Prerequisites

• VS Code, or an editor CLI on PATH. On Windows, the default code command also discovers standard per-user and system VS Code installations. On macOS, install the VS Code shell command or set the plugin command to any editor that opens a directory).
• DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 or newer. The plugin uses the native Workspace row-menu extension point where present and a compatibility adapter on rc.6.

Install

Add the plugin to your web profile (this runs pnpm inside the profile and reconciles the bundle layer):

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/omdsh-dev/dsh-open-in-vscode/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz

Restart the web server (kill -TERM <pid> and wait for exit — never kill -9, it tears the session zstd log mid-frame), then refresh the page. The host plugin mounts under dsh-open-in-vscode; the client bundle is served at /plugins/dsh-open-in-vscode/client.js.

Configuration

Deployment-varying choices are validated Config fields, changeable from cordis.yml:

Key	Default	Meaning
command	code	Executable that opens a directory. The default also probes standard Windows VS Code install locations; other commands resolve through PATH.
args	[]	Extra arguments passed before the directory path.

A missing executable fails loud with a fix hint; relative paths are refused.

Capability boundary

Action	Runs where	Requires approval
Open a workspace directory in the editor	Host (user gesture)	No — the user clicked the row
Anything else	—	The plugin has no tools, no settings namespace, and no model-facing surface

The plugin adds no tools, no skills, and no settings; it only opens the directory the user already opened in DSH. It never reads or writes files itself.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run check   # typecheck + lint + test + build; commit lib/ (file: installs run without a build)

Layout: the wire contract lives in one module (src/contract.ts) shared by the host manifest (src/typert.ts) and the client contribution (src/client/remote.ts); the harness owns the slot declaration and the Menu node-entry kind this plugin composes through.
