中文 · English

dsh-pianist brings a piano-playing Agent to the DeepSeek Harness (dsh) Web UI: tired of coding? Ask the AI to play a tune and relax. How well it plays is entirely up to the model. A toy — and also an exam.

The result

Click the cover above to watch the showreel (docs/showreel.mp4), or visit the online demo, pick a piece, and hear it rendered in real time.

What it sounds like

• The timbre comes from real recorded samples of Salamander Grand Piano V3 — six velocity layers, key release, string resonance, pedal action — not synth "beeps".
• Two swappable skins: Obsidian & Gold (a black glossy grand with warm gold trim; keys flash gold on impact) and Sakura Pearl (a pearl-white body with rose-gold details under a sakura-tinted skylight).
• A full-screen immersive stage with waterfall notes, rippling reflections, shooting stars and mist that rise and fall with the performance.
• All 88 keys are playable: mouse glissando, computer keyboard, arrow-key note selection — play it yourself if you like.
• Underneath it all is a deterministic timeline. Pause, scrub, replay — the same score plays back identically every time. That is what makes it an exam paper: whether the model can really play becomes obvious the moment it tries.

Installation

In the DeepSeek Harness source repository:

pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-pianist

If dsh is already on your PATH:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-pianist

The npm package ships prebuilt artifacts — usable right after install.

Then start the UI:

pnpm dsh web

To uninstall: pnpm dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-pianist.

Kernel Compatibility

• ✅ = compatible. 0.1.2-alpha.3 is the current host kernel and has been verified live (built-artifact import + test suites); the remaining kernels are covered by the dual-kernel-compatible design (one build, one API surface).
• Kernel 0.1.2 removed the settingsNamespace() runtime helper (on ≤ 0.1.1 it was a validating identity function; 0.1.2 keeps only the same-named type). This plugin does not statically import that symbol any more — it inlines its namespace constant locally and asserts it as the SettingsNamespace type, which works on both old and new kernels.
• The current build no longer statically imports settingsNamespace(); earlier releases only work on kernels ≤ 0.1.1 — rebuild or update to a build that contains the fix.
• Never statically import runtime symbols from @deepseek-ai/* packages. The host CLI starts via node --import tsx/esm, and tsx applies the host tsconfig paths mapping, so a bare @deepseek-ai/* import from an external plugin may be redirected into the host's own sources — any host-side rename or removal then explodes at boot as a module instantiation error. Type-only imports (import type) are unaffected.

Usage

Once installed, just request a song in natural language; the Agent hands the full score to the piano:

Play the first eight bars of Ode to Joy, both hands, with sustain pedal.
A C-major scale at 100 BPM, slowed down a little.
Improvise something light and cheerful to help me unwind.

The browser may require one manual click on the play button before sound comes out — that is the browser's autoplay policy, not a bug.

The Settings → Plugins → Pianist card lets you adjust at any time:

• Enable/disable the plugin and switch skins (Obsidian & Gold / Sakura Pearl);
• Immersive stage or chat-card form; it returns to the card automatically when a piece ends;
• Quality (low/medium/high), volume, waterfall notes, pedal and particle-effect toggles.

Changes apply as soon as you save.
