dsh-agent-enhancer is a plugin for the official DeepSeek Harness (DSH) desktop client. This release, 0.3.9, brings four things: a Browser Agent, a skills manager, MCP connectors, and soft pause plus run alerts. Prompt history, rollback, billing, context and model routing were covered in earlier posts and are not repeated here.
1. Browser Agent: it gets a browser of its own
The agent can already edit files in your workspace, but anything on the web was out of reach: dashboards that require a login, forms that need a few clicks before they return anything, information scattered across several pages. The Browser Agent gives it a window.
It runs its own Chrome or Edge with a separate profile directory, so logins persist and nothing collides with the browser you use day to day. Note that this is not the web viewer in the official sidebar — that one is for looking, this one is for operating.
You never start it manually. Use a browser_* tool in a conversation, or Alt+click a link, and the window comes up by itself. To switch between Chrome and Edge, change it in settings or the right sidebar; a running window switches over immediately.
Logins are yours to do. Hit a site that needs signing in and the window waits on the login page. Sign in yourself, click "I'm done", and the agent continues from where the page is. It will not work around captchas for you.
Consequential actions ask first. Anything that changes external state — submitting a form, sending a message — plus Alt+opening a link, triggers an approval dialog. Screenshots and page DOM are never sent to telemetry.
Parallel sessions. A session is tied to a browser tab, and switching tabs can either Follow the current session or Stay on the page you picked.
A few things it is good for:
Checking orders, reports or config values on an internal dashboard you have already signed into
Opening a page, filling it in, and submitting — with your approval before it sends
Opening a few tabs, cross-checking data between two pages, and writing the conclusion back into the chat
Quoting text from a page straight into your next prompt
2. Skills and connectors: two new sidebar entries
Skills: install from GitHub (owner/repo) or a Zip, with visible progress you can cancel, targeting the user or project directory. Once installed, invoke them through the official / command. GitHub sources can check for updates.
Connectors (MCP): add Stdio or Remote services in mcp.json, toggle each one in the list, and open the detail view to see which tools a service exposes.
3. Soft pause and run alerts: two small, frequently used switches
Soft pause: there is a pause button on the toolbar of your latest message. Press it and subsequent model calls are held back, while anything already streaming or already running as a tool finishes normally. Resume when you are ready — what you save is the tokens that would have been spent next. This differs from the official Stop, which cuts the current turn off outright.
Run alerts: when a long task finishes, when something is waiting for your approval, or when a session errors out, you get pulled back from whatever window you moved to. The default level is "when unfocused", which covers dual monitors and switching to other apps; notifications go through the system notification center, and if one cannot be delivered you get a toast when you return to the window.
4. What was already there
Prompt history / one-click optimization / next-prompt prediction / select-to-quote, rollback (conversation only or with files, undoable), in-workspace file editing and extra folders, session delete, token billing and per-account balance, context occupancy with compaction, and Auto model routing. Details are in the earlier posts.
5. Install
Settings → Plugins, use the add-plugin flow to install dsh-agent-enhancer, then fully quit the desktop client and restart it.
Or from the CLI:
dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-agent-enhancer@0.3.9
Targets the desktop profile; requires DSH Desktop 0.2.2-rc.1 or above. If you still have the old dsh-composer-enhancer package installed, remove it first, and quit all desktop windows and tray processes before installing.
6. Boundaries
The Browser Agent is off by default and is a high-risk capability. It supports Chrome and Edge only, will not get past login walls or captchas, and requires approval for consequential actions.
Soft pause only holds back model steps that have not started yet, and does not survive a restart. The official Stop remains a hard interrupt.
Rollback tracks UTF-8 text files only; it does not touch processes, terminals, untracked files or binaries.
Extra folders do not widen the agent sandbox; session delete cannot be undone.
The estimated "¥" in billing and the context detail figures are approximations, not exact billing data.
