A DeepSeek Harness plugin that turns the agent into a driver for your real, logged-in Tabbit Browser via the browser-owned `tabbit-cli` — for web automation, extraction, QA and benchmarks, with automatic environment preflight and region-aware installer download.

01What can it help you accomplish?
Drive your real, logged-in Tabbit Browser from a DeepSeek Harness session
Browser-automation runs through `tabbit-cli`: persistent task spaces, locators and waits, screenshots, receipts and recovery — no separate browser tooling to wire up
Developers and QA engineers running DeepSeek Harness (dsh) who want the agent to operate a real browser instead of a headless stub
Extract information and run QA / benchmark tasks against live sites inside the agent loop
Screenshots, receipts and recovered state from real page interactions, ready for extraction, QA passes and agent benchmarks
Data and evaluation engineers who need reproducible, agent-driven browser sessions rather than hand-scripted Playwright
Bootstrap a working Tabbit environment from inside DeepSeek Harness without manual setup
A preflight tool that detects a stable Tabbit ≥1.9.0, verifies the `tabbit-cli` runtime, and — if missing — downloads the region-appropriate installer via a DSH background job
New DSH users who have DeepSeek Harness but no Tabbit Browser installed yet
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- DeepSeek Harness (dsh) installed and on your `PATH` — the README has you run `dsh --version` first
- A stable Tabbit Browser at version `1.9.0` or newer (international `Tabbit` or domestic `Tabbit Browser`); the plugin downloads the installer for you if it's missing
- The current DSH profile must provide `ctx.skills`, `ctx.tools`, `ctx.jobs` and a Bash/Shell tool on the same host as Tabbit Browser
Installation steps
- 01
Check DSH is installed: run `dsh --version` (install via `npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh` on macOS/Windows if missing)
$ dsh --version
- 02
Add the plugin: `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-tabbit` (fallback: `dsh plugin --profile web add github:Tabbit-Browser/dsh-tabbit`)
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-tabbit
- 03
Start DSH: `dsh web` — the bundle auto-registers its skill provider
$ dsh web

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Bundles a DSH skill provider plus two DSH tools (`tabbit_browser_install`, `tabbit_plugin_update`); the `tabbit-browser` skill drives your real, logged-in Tabbit Browser through the browser-owned `tabbit-cli` Playwright CLI, so the agent controls real pages, login state, and live interactions instead of a headless stub.

04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- Developers and QA engineers running DeepSeek Harness (dsh) who want the agent to operate a real browser instead of a headless stub
- Data and evaluation engineers who need reproducible, agent-driven browser sessions rather than hand-scripted Playwright
- New DSH users who have DeepSeek Harness but no Tabbit Browser installed yet
Not for
- The agent needs a real GUI Tabbit Browser on the same host as DSH's Bash/Shell tool. If DSH's Bash runs in a sandbox such as E2B or a remote container that cannot access the local GUI browser, Tabbit automation will not work there.
- On Windows, DSH's `read-only` and `workspace-write` restricted tokens cannot write to the Runtime named pipe. The skill probes `tabbit-cli tasks` first and asks for no permission when it succeeds; only on `BROWSER_RUNTIME_UNAVAILABLE` does it request switching the session to Full Permission — and then stops the task immediately without retrying.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install DSH Tabbit into DeepSeek Harness?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-tabbit` (or `dsh plugin --profile web add github:Tabbit-Browser/dsh-tabbit` if the npm registry is unreachable), then start the harness with `dsh web`. The bundle auto-registers its skill provider — no separate skill install.
Do I need Tabbit Browser installed before adding the plugin?
Not necessarily. The `tabbit_browser_install` preflight requires a stable Tabbit at `1.9.0` or newer (international `Tabbit` or domestic `Tabbit Browser`); if it's missing or outdated, the plugin starts a DSH background job that downloads the region-appropriate installer into your `Downloads` folder.
What can the agent actually do with my browser?
It drives your real, logged-in Tabbit Browser through the browser-owned `tabbit-cli` Playwright CLI: real pages, real login state, and real interactions — persistent task spaces, locators and waits, screenshots, receipts and recovery. It is not a headless stub.
Which environments does it work in?
It needs a real GUI Tabbit Browser on the same host as DSH's Bash/Shell tool. If DSH's Bash runs in a sandbox such as E2B or a remote container that cannot reach the local GUI browser, Tabbit automation will not work there.
How does the plugin keep itself updated?
The `tabbit_plugin_update` tool compares your installed version with the published changelog at most once a day, silently skips offline failures, and — when a newer release exists — loads the skill with an update notice describing what changed.
