A floating companion for the DeepSeek Harness web GUI (dsh web). A draggable cartoon cat or dog sits on the UI, changes expression with the current session, and chats in short lines. Drag it, click it, or double-click to tuck it away. Skins live on their own Companion settings page, picked from a thumbnail grid.

Expressions

Same character, same pose — only the face changes. The orange cat as an example:

It blinks while idle. Whole-body motion kicks in for thinking, tool calls, streaming, done, and errors.

Features

• Session-aware. Queued, waiting for you, thinking, calling a tool, writing, done, or errored — each has its own face and line. Display-only: it never emits session events.
• Draggable. It stays where you drop it. A resize clamps it back into the viewport.
• Shrinks while you type. Focus in the composer while it is idle tucks it into a mini face in the same corner; it expands again after you send.
• Status bubble. Busy lines are companion copy (“Still busy, hang on”). Tool names stay off unless you hover or turn them on in settings. While idle it can pop on a quiet / standard / lively cadence. The first appearance says “Drag me — hover for buttons” once.
• AI vignettes (off by default). When on, idle lines may come from the current default model (and use that model’s quota). Missing keys or a failed call fall back to the built-in pool.
• Hover comfort. The bubble switches to a softer line, e.g. “Hold on, I am thinking hard.”
• Parallel work. A badge appears when several sessions or sub-agents are running. Hover for the list; click a row to jump there.
• Show / hide. Settings → General, or Settings → Companion, has a “Show floating pet” switch. Off removes it from the UI. Right-click → Hide does the same.
• Entries on the pet. Click for a playful line (cats meow, dogs woof). Double-click collapses to a mini face. Hover shows a small dock: next look, jump to the current task, hide, open Settings. Right-click pins the dock. On the bottom edge the dock opens above the pet; on the left it opens to the right, so it stays on screen.
• Working and writing have their own faces. Tool calls squint; streaming opens a small speaking mouth — not the same neutral face with a CSS wobble.
• The longer the wait, the bigger the pose. A yawn, then a stretch, while the model is working. Ambient clips still play while idle. Cadence follows Quiet / Standard / Lively.
• Copy follows the UI language (Chinese / English). Motion stops when the system asks for reduced motion.

Moods

Install

You need a DeepSeek Harness that can run dsh --profile web (@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-* ≥ 0.1.0-rc.5).

Add it to the web profile with the official command:

dsh plugin --profile web add @falser101/mascot

Restart dsh --profile web. The companion appears in the lower-right corner; Settings gains a Companion page. Without npm: dsh plugin --profile web add github:falser101/dsh-mascot.

For a local checkout:

dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-mascot

Remove it with:

dsh plugin --profile web remove @falser101/mascot

Develop

pnpm build        # emit lib/ (host half + browser bundle)
pnpm watch        # hot-reload the client half
pnpm test

lib/ is committed, so git and npm installs need no extra build step.

To swap art: overwrite the same-named jpgs under docs/<breed>/ → node scripts/build-art-assets.mjs → rebuild. Prompt pack: docs/character-art-prompts.md.
