Install set: part of dsh-wsl-kit. Prefer KIT_SET=daily | llm | github | full (see kit README). Fault tree: TROUBLESHOOTING.md.

DeepSeek Harness plugin: click a WSL Linux path in chat to open it on Windows (default app, or Explorer for folders).

Part of dsh-wsl-kit.

Why

Chat does not turn /home/.../deck.pptx into a useful link. Generic “open path” plugins often call Linux xdg-open, which cannot launch Windows Office / WPS.

What it does

  1. Highlights absolute Linux paths in assistant text (CSS Highlight; does not rewrite React DOM)
  2. Maps with wslpath -w (or a fallback) to \\wsl$\<distro>\... or C:\...
  3. Files → cmd.exe /c start (Windows default app); folders → explorer.exe

Only opens real paths under home, the session workspace, and /mnt/c/Users (and /mnt/d/Users). Non-WSL hosts skip open.

Prefer this for files/folders. Use dsh-wsl-launch for apps, and dsh-wsl-browser for http(s) URLs.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:173787247/dsh-wsl-open

Restart dsh web, refresh the page. Click a dotted-underline path in a new or re-rendered assistant message.

Verify

  1. Ask the agent to write a file under /home/<you>/... (e.g. .pptx).
  2. The absolute path should be dotted-underlined.
  3. Click it — Windows opens with the default app.

Debug: browser console [dsh-wsl-open]; host log dsh-wsl-open: loaded distro=....
