01What can it help you accomplish?
See what the agent produced while working in the DeepSeek Harness Web UI
An artifacts sidebar listing files the agent created or modified (via write / edit and bash / pwsh commands) with multiple preview formats, plus a file tree that follows workspace switches
DeepSeek Harness (dsh) users who want live visibility into artifacts and workspace files without leaving the UI
Pop the sidebar out to a second monitor for a larger, clearer view
A standalone browser tab at /popout-sidebar that auto-refreshes every 1.5s and can be dragged to another monitor
Multi-monitor users who want the artifacts list and file tree always in view
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- DeepSeek Harness (dsh) with the web UI available — the README's install flow runs `dsh web` and uses the in-app Plugin Market
- The dsh-market registry (`dsh plugin --profile web add dshmarket`) for the recommended Plugin Market route
Installation steps
- 01
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dshmarket` to add the market first
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dshmarket
- 02
Restart `dsh web`, open Settings → Plugin Market, search popout or sidebar, and click install
$ dsh web
- 03
Or install directly from the registry: `dsh plugin --profile web add github:e2mcc/dsh-popout-sidebar`
$ dsh plugin --profile web add github:e2mcc/dsh-popout-sidebar
- 04
After installing, restart `dsh web` and hard-refresh the browser (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+R)
$ dsh web
Verify the integration
- Restart `dsh web` and hard-refresh the browser (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+R), then confirm a persistent artifacts icon button appears at the top-right of the UI — visible even without a session
03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Installed natively through the official dsh CLI plugin system and DSH Plugin Market (`dsh plugin --profile web add github:e2mcc/dsh-popout-sidebar`); adds the artifacts sidebar directly to the DeepSeek Harness Web UI.
Pop out to a separate browser tab
the artifacts sidebar / file tree content→a standalone page at /popout-sidebar, auto-refreshing every 1.5s
Artifacts sidebar
files created or modified by the agent via write / edit, plus files produced by bash / pwsh commands in the workspace→a live list with a draggable divider between the list and the preview area
File tree
the current workspace directory→a lazy-loaded browsable tree in both the sidebar and the pop-out tab; click a file to preview; follows workspace switches in real time
Multi-format preview
code / plain text, Markdown, image, PDF and HTML files→syntax-highlighted code with line numbers, Markdown rendering, image preview, PDF via the browser's native viewer, HTML in a sandboxed iframe; overlong content is auto-truncated
Edit diff view
files modified by edit→deleted / added change snippets shown side by side in the preview
Coexists with other sidebar plugins
other side cards being open at the same time→this sidebar automatically moves to the left of the other side card so both remain visible
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- DeepSeek Harness (dsh) users who want live visibility into artifacts and workspace files without leaving the UI
- Multi-monitor users who want the artifacts list and file tree always in view
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- Clear mode only affects the list: clicking an artifact marks it red and clicking the red × removes the list entry — files on disk are not touched.
- Panel settings (default expand, auto-refresh, file tree, minimum panel width) are stored in localStorage, in a new Popout Sidebar tab in DSH settings.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install Popout Sidebar?
Recommended: run `dsh plugin --profile web add dshmarket` to add the market, restart `dsh web`, open Settings → Plugin Market, search popout or sidebar and click install. Or install directly from the registry: `dsh plugin --profile web add github:e2mcc/dsh-popout-sidebar`. After installing, restart `dsh web` and hard-refresh the browser (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+R).
How do I confirm the plugin is active after installing?
After restarting `dsh web` and hard-refreshing the browser, a persistent artifacts icon button appears at the top-right of the interface — visible even when no session is open.
Will it conflict with other sidebar plugins?
No — the README says it coexists with other sidebar plugins: when another side card opens, this sidebar automatically moves to its left so both are visible at the same time.
Does clear mode delete files from disk?
No. In clear mode you click an artifact to mark it red, then click the red × to remove the entry from the list — only the list entry is removed, files on disk are untouched.
Where are the panel settings stored?
A Popout Sidebar tab is added in DSH settings to toggle default expand, auto-refresh and the file tree, and to set the minimum panel width — stored in localStorage. The panel can be widened by dragging its left edge.
