DeepShian

DeepShian

English | 简体中文

DeepShian brings DeepSeek Harness into Obsidian's right sidebar. There is no cloud API: it talks to the dsh already installed on your machine, so you get the full agent experience — streaming answers, thinking steps, tool-call cards — and it can read and edit your vault files directly.

Features

• 🔒 Fully local: answers, tool calls, and file operations are all driven by your local dsh.
• ✨ Model picker: choose any model, just like in dsh web.
• 💬 Conversation sync: the DeepShian workspace syncs with dsh web, including conversation history, archive, and deletion.
• 🔐 Access control: choose the agent's access mode like in dsh web — Read Only or Workspace Write.
• 📎 File references: type @ in the input to pick a file or folder from your vault — the agent reads it with full context.
• 🎨 Chat experience: the same chat experience as dsh web, including streaming output, thinking steps, tool calls, and more.
• 🌐 Multilingual: fully bilingual UI (中文 / English) that follows your Obsidian language.

Quick Start

1 Install into Obsidian

Option A: Install from the community plugin store

Open Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search deepshian → Install → Enable, then click the 🤖 icon in the left sidebar to open chat.

Option B: Download from Releases

Go to the Releases page and download these three files from the latest release: main.js, manifest.json, styles.css. Put them into the vault's plugin folder <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/deepshian/. Then: Settings → Community plugins → Enable DeepShian → click the 🤖 icon in the left sidebar to open chat.

2 Build from source

npm install
npm run build     # type-check and bundle into build/ (main.js + manifest.json + styles.css)
npm run dev       # optional: watch-mode incremental builds

The output lands in build/ — the same three files (main.js, manifest.json, styles.css) — copy them into the vault's plugin folder.
