What it does

Unofficial DeepSeek Harness particle-whale background plugin with cursor lighting and theme support.

✅
Our take
Works — verified, early-stage project

Unofficial DeepSeek Harness particle-whale background plugin with cursor lighting and theme support. 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.

README

dsh-whale-bg

English | 简体中文

An unofficial DeepSeek Harness Web UI background that rebuilds the DeepSeek
fish silhouette as a swarm of varied-size particle tiles.

Animated preview of the dsh-whale-bg particle effect

This is a community project. It is not affiliated with, maintained by, or
endorsed by DeepSeek. The fish geometry is reused from the MIT-licensed
DeepSeek Harness repository; see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.

Features:

  • Entrance — particles assemble from a scattered state into the whale
  • Idle swimming — edges stay loose, the tail carries a travelling wave
  • Hover — a radial mouse push with cubic falloff + per-tile angle noise
  • Flashlight lighting — the light hugs the cursor: the whale is nearly
    invisible until the mouse comes near, then brightens inside a small radius
  • Themes — light (multiply blend, deep blue) and dark (screen blend, glow)
  • 30 FPS rendering to keep the decorative layer inexpensive

Compatibility

Developed and tested against @deepseek-ai/[email protected] on its Web profile.
DeepSeek Harness is still in developer preview, so future releases may require
plugin changes.

Install

Install the dsh CLI by following the
DeepSeek Harness instructions.
Then install the published plugin into DSH's Web profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add [email protected]
dsh web

To install from a source checkout instead:

git clone https://github.com/gooosie/dsh-whale-bg.git
cd dsh-whale-bg
npm ci
npm run check
dsh plugin --profile web add .
dsh web

DSH's web command always boots the profile named web, so the plugin must be
installed into that profile. When installing from source, DSH links to the
checkout; do not move or delete that directory while the plugin is installed.

The dsh.bundle patch inserts the whale-bg row and the dsh.client
declaration mounts the browser half as /plugins/dsh-whale-bg/client.js.

Verify the composed configuration with dsh web --dump-config.

Remove:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-whale-bg

Development

npm ci
npm run build   # tsdown -> lib/index.js (ESM host) + wrapped lib/client.js
npm test        # validate manifests, entries, DSH handoff, injection, and theme API
npm run check   # strict types + clean build + package verification
npm run watch

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-whale-bg 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:gooosie/dsh-whale-bg

Headless (CLI) profile:

dsh plugin --profile headless add github:gooosie/dsh-whale-bg

Test report

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

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