A GrokBot-style animated avatar with a synchronized typewriter status line — right in front of the "Deep diving..." indicator.
Puts a small animated companion in front of the DeepSeek Harness "Deep diving..." status indicator. The status pill grows a GrokBot-style avatar drawn live as SVG via requestAnimationFrame: it blinks (320 ms, random 3.5–7 s apart), swaps expressions with a springy morph, wanders its gaze with a spherical head-turn projection and breathes with a 1.7 s bob. The animation is a web port of the Flutter CustomPaint widget nasawz/GrokBot, preserving its 25 expressions × 2 eyes × 48-point eye rings, 18 body shapes and 39 states with their expression/blink cadences. Every expression switch also rewrites the status text with a typewriter effect, cycling through 55 candidate phrases.
Install
dsh plugin --profile <PROFILE> add @dsh-plugin/dsh-thought-buddyREADME Install section quoted verbatim (replace <PROFILE>). Registry-verified live 2026-09-15: @dsh-plugin/dsh-thought-buddy latest 0.3.3, repository field github.com/dsh-plugins/dsh-thought-buddy. The README's step 2 says to verify that node_modules/@dsh-plugin/dsh-thought-buddy resolves and holds a built lib/ directory (at least lib/index.js and lib/client.js); the runtime has no dependencies, and building the TypeScript sources needs the typescript devDependency (npm ci/npm install once) — if the artifacts are missing, run npm run build in the plugin directory and re-add. GitHub source form github:dsh-plugins/dsh-thought-buddy, file:<path> / link:<path> for local development.
Compatibility
A pure client-side plugin for the DeepSeek Harness Web GUI with zero runtime dependencies; configuration is stored in localStorage and applied on reload. Building from source needs the typescript devDependency; the published package should ship a built lib/.

FAQ
- How do I install it?
- The README's command is dsh plugin --profile <PROFILE> add @dsh-plugin/dsh-thought-buddy, then confirm the package directory holds a built lib/ (lib/index.js and lib/client.js).
- Does it add dependencies to my profile?
- No — the README states the runtime has no dependencies; only building the TypeScript sources from a checkout needs the typescript devDependency.
- What does it animate?
- The Deep diving... status pill: a GrokBot avatar with 25 expressions, 18 body shapes and 39 states, plus a typewriter status line that rewrites itself on each expression switch.
