What it does

✅
Our take
Works — verified, early-stage project

CloserAI - a local-first, model-agnostic, permission-transparent desktop AI workbench built on DeepSeek Harness. It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It's early-stage but functional.

“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.

Platform

CloserAI is an open-source desktop client that hosts a DeepSeek Harness
process inside a hardened Electron shell. It is not a thin wrapper: it keeps DSH as the agent runtime
and adds a desktop supervisor, three permission-isolated working modes, local-first session storage,
OS-keychain secrets, and a plugin security model.

✨ What you get

  • Hardened shell — context isolation, sandbox, strict CSP, locked-down navigation, single instance, deep links.
  • Three permission-isolated modes — Chat / Work / Code, so the model only gets exactly the tools and files it should.
  • Local-first sessions — every conversation is persisted under DSH_HOME, with history, projects, export/import, and restart recovery.
  • Native desktop — system tray, crash/recovery notifications, launch at login.
  • Transparent by design — a management page shows capability toggles, a per-mode permission manifest, and redacted diagnostics.
  • Model-agnostic — DeepSeek, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or fully-offline Mock mode (no API key needed).

🚀 Quick start

Option A — install the Windows build (recommended)

  1. Download CloserAI-0.1.0-Setup-x64.exe.
  2. Verify the SHA-256 against SHA256SUMS.txt (Windows: Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\CloserAI-0.1.0-Setup-x64.exe).
  3. Run the installer, then launch CloserAI and pick Mock mode to try it with zero configuration.

The installer is not code-signed yet — if SmartScreen warns, choose More info → Run anyway,
and rely on the checksum. See docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md.

Option B — run from source

pnpm install
pnpm check          # format + lint + build + typecheck + test
pnpm smoke          # end-to-end: onboarding → DSH UI → management page
cd apps/desktop && pnpm run dev

Requires Node.js >= 20.19 and pnpm 11. DSH is pinned to the exact runtime version in the lockfile.

🧩 Modes

Mode Can do Cannot do
Chat Web search, attachments (read-only) Shell, local file access
Work Document processing in an app-private sandbox Shell, access outside the sandbox
Code Your chosen directory, shell/git/terminal with approval prompts Anything outside the approved directory without approval

Switch modes from the tray or the management page; each project pins a mode + working directory and is restored on relaunch.

🛠 Development

git clone https://github.com/sb1733831438-maker/DSH-closerAI.git
cd DSH-closerAI
pnpm install
pnpm check
cd apps/desktop
pnpm run pack     # build the Windows installer (release/CloserAI-*-Setup-x64.exe)

New features must keep pnpm check green (120 tests) and pnpm smoke passing. See
docs/PLUGIN_DEV.md for extending modes/presets.

📄 License

it hosts it as the agent runtime.

Install

🧩 Let your agent install it (recommended)

Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:

dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog

Then say "install DSH-closerAI for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.

This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:

Web profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:sb1733831438-maker/DSH-closerAI

Headless (CLI) profile:

dsh plugin --profile headless add github:sb1733831438-maker/DSH-closerAI

Test report

Verified: L1 install + L2 load + L3 runtime from GitHub source on dsh 0.1.0-rc.6.

When to use it

Run dsh as a native desktop app — its own window, tray icon, and shortcuts — instead of a browser tab.

Who it's for

Users who want an installed-app feel and system integration (tray, global hotkeys, auto-launch) on their OS.

For developers — extending it

The native shell is the seam — add global shortcuts, notifications, single-instance locking, or OS-specific behaviors.

Security: not yet scanned — our daily static scan will cover it shortly.
