You need Paseo 0.11 or later and dsh on the machine that runs the Paseo daemon, with the same major.minor as the plugin line you install. On Paseo 0.8 to 0.10, install npm:paseo-dsh-direct@0.2.1.
In Paseo, open Settings → Plugins → Install Plugin and paste either the npm or the Git source:
\n| Your dsh | \nnpm | \nGit | \n
|---|---|---|
0.2.x | \nnpm:paseo-dsh-direct | \nhttps://github.com/Jecvay/paseo-dsh-direct | \n
0.1.x | \nnpm:paseo-dsh-direct@dsh-0.1 | \nCLI only: paseo plugin install https://github.com/Jecvay/paseo-dsh-direct --ref release/0.1 | \n
To update, run on the daemon machine (the app's plugin menu has no update entry):
\npaseo plugin update paseo-dsh-direct --check # see if a new version exists\npaseo plugin update paseo-dsh-direct --yes # update to the latest\nMore: compatibility · CLI and local install, environment variables
","readmeText":"# paseo-dsh-direct\n\nEnglish | [中文](README.zh.md)\n\n`paseo-dsh-direct` connects a local [DeepSeek Harness](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness) (`dsh`) to [Paseo](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo) through a Direct Provider.\n\n## Install\n\nYou need Paseo 0.11 or later and `dsh` on the machine that runs the Paseo daemon, with the same `major.minor` as the plugin line you install. On Paseo 0.8 to 0.10, install `npm:paseo-dsh-direct@0.2.1`.\n\nIn Paseo, open **Settings → Plugins → Install Plugin** and paste either the npm or the Git source:\n\n| Your dsh | npm | Git |\n|---|---|---|\n| `0.2.x` | `npm:paseo-dsh-direct` | `https://github.com/Jecvay/paseo-dsh-direct` |\n| `0.1.x` | `npm:paseo-dsh-direct@dsh-0.1` | CLI only: `paseo plugin install https://github.com/Jecvay/paseo-dsh-direct --ref release/0.1` |\n\nTo update, run on the daemon machine (the app's plugin menu has no update entry):\n\n```bash\npaseo plugin update paseo-dsh-direct --check # see if a new version exists\npaseo plugin update paseo-dsh-direct --yes # update to the latest\n```\n\nMore: [compatibility](docs/en/compatibility.md) · [CLI and local install, environment variables](docs/en/installation.md)\n\n## Why \"Direct\"\n\nMost dsh integrations go through ACP, a generic protocol that every agent can speak. This plugin skips it and talks to dsh natively, so what dsh does shows up in Paseo the way Paseo expects:\n\n- Replies and thinking stream smoothly instead of arriving in chopped pieces.\n- Tool approvals and dsh's questions to you appear as Paseo's own approval and question cards.\n- Your existing dsh sessions can be imported and resumed in Paseo.\n- dsh's slash commands (`/compact`, `/plan`, ...) appear in Paseo's `/` menu.\n- Paseo's usage meter shows dsh's token counts and how full the context window is.\n\n## Versioning\n\nThe plugin's `major.minor` tracks the dsh line it supports; the patch number is the plugin's own release count and does not follow dsh. Install the line matching your local dsh version — see the table above, or the [compatibility notes](docs/compatibility.md) for the full rule and the dsh versions actually tested.\n\n## Use\n\nCreate a conversation with the **DeepSeek Harness** provider. Models and presets come from the configured DSH profile. Existing native DSH sessions are available through Paseo's **Import session** flow and retain their native session identity.\n\nThe provider supports streamed assistant and reasoning output, tool execution and approval, user questions, model/preset configuration, interruption, and session recovery. It starts DSH with its own `paseo` profile and does not modify Paseo or DSH core.\n\nThe plugin uses the DSH profile `paseo`. On first start it creates that profile from DSH's official `web` template (`~/.dsh/profiles/paseo`, or under `$DSH_HOME` when set). Model routes, the default model, and permission presets go in `~/.dsh/profiles/paseo/cordis.patch.yml`. To use a different `dsh` executable, set `agents.providers.dsh-pi.command` in the Paseo configuration or `PASEO_DSH_EXECUTABLE` (which takes precedence); or `PASEO_DSH_PROFILE` to use another existing profile; a profile named there is not created automatically. If the Paseo Daemon has plugin loading disabled, enable `pluginsEnabled` in its configuration before installing the plugin.\n\nIf a native session is still held by another DSH client (such as a terminal UI), release it there before importing or resuming it from Paseo.\n\n## Install from source\n\nFor local development, or to install without going through the Settings UI:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Jecvay/paseo-dsh-direct.git\ncd paseo-dsh-direct\nnpm ci\nnpm run build\npaseo plugin install \"$PWD\"\npaseo plugin ls\npaseo provider models dsh-pi\n```\n\nThe same local source can be installed directly with `paseo plugin install /absolute/path/to/paseo-dsh-direct` after building. The CLI also accepts a Git ref that the Settings UI cannot:\n\n```bash\npaseo plugin install github:Jecvay/paseo-dsh-direct --ref
