mini-yifan/dsh-orb-cordis
A floating-ball Computer Use agent for the official DeepSeek Harness desktop app and dsh web.
A floating ball rests at the right edge of the screen and adds a Computer Use agent to the official dsh desktop app and dsh web, while the main window stays the official dsh Web UI. Tell the ball what you need: quick, visible actions are executed directly in the current app through Computer Use, and long-running complex tasks are dispatched. On startup the plugin spawns its own helper (a pinned, verified Electron runtime in an isolated profile); the helper talks to the host over a loopback-only, authenticated socket and is restarted by a watchdog if it dies. Installing the plugin is presented as the consent gate.
Install
dsh plugin add dsh-orbCopied verbatim from the README's Install section, which states the install unit is the published release tarball on the npm registry — not the repository itself — and that pasting the repo URL installs the monorepo source instead. By-version form is dsh-orb@<version>; from a local build, dsh plugin add ./dsh-orb-<version>.tgz.
Compatibility
The README requires DeepSeek Harness (the desktop app, or dsh web from the CLI) and was built against dsh 0.1.7-rc.2 with declared range >=0.1.7-rc.2 <0.2.0. On macOS the first screen operation triggers the system permission dialogs attributed to DeepSeek Harness (desktop) or your terminal (dsh web); Windows needs no system-permission onboarding (though windows running as administrator are called out). Installing the plugin is the consent gate — the GUI tools never ask per click.

FAQ
- Can I install it by pasting the GitHub repo URL?
- No. The README says pasting the repo URL installs the monorepo source instead of the release bundle; install the published dsh-orb package, or a versioned tarball, so you get the assembled bundle.
- Does the floating ball still work if the main window's Computer Use is used?
- Yes. The README says Computer Use in the main window keeps working even if the ball cannot start, because the helper runs out-of-process and exits when it loses its socket while the host restarts it at most three times.
