An unofficial basketball desktop-pet collection for DeepSeek Harness. It ships as a proper DSH bundle and Web client plugin and contributes an additive shell.overlay entry.

Features include Curry 30 and the original King 23 tribute character, instant character switching, draggable/persisted placement, wake/tuck-away controls, a task activity tray, reduced-motion support, idle shooting, task-state animations, and 16-direction pointer tracking. Task priority follows Codex Pets: Needs input → Blocked → Ready → Running → Idle.

Installation

Prerequisites

Node.js 22+ with pnpm (the dsh CLI forwards to pnpm)
DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.5 to <0.2.0
A DSH web profile (created automatically the first time you add a plugin)

Option 1 — Install from npm (recommended)

The plugin is published to the public npm registry, so any DSH installation can add it with one command:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-nba-pets

Running DSH from a source checkout (no global dsh binary):

cd D:\IDEA-Project\deepseek-harness
corepack pnpm dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-nba-pets

The first use initializes the profile (@deepseek-ai/dsh-base plus the Web app bundle) and appends dsh-nba-pets to its bundle list.

Option 2 — Install from GitHub

dsh plugin --profile web add github:lijian-888/dsh-nba-pets

A git install fetches sources, not built artifacts, so pnpm runs the package's prepare script to build them. pnpm ≥ 10 blocks that build until you allow it: copy the exact package key pnpm prints into the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml, then re-run the add:

allowBuilds:
  dsh-nba-pets: true

Only allow packages whose source you trust, and consider pinning a commit (github:lijian-888/dsh-nba-pets#<sha>).

Option 3 — Install from a local checkout

git clone https://github.com/lijian-888/dsh-nba-pets.git
cd dsh-nba-pets
npm install
npm run check
dsh plugin --profile web add .

Verify

dsh --profile web --dump-config

The output must include a # == dsh-nba-pets layer with an id: nba-pets row. Then boot:

dsh --profile web

The pets float inside the DSH Web application: refresh the browser page after installing, and restart an already-running DSH process so it re-reads the profile.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-nba-pets

Troubleshooting

npm registry mirror: mirrors (e.g. registry.npmmirror.com) can lag behind the official registry. Add explicitly from the official one: dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-nba-pets --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org.
Dead proxy variables: dsh plugin forwards to pnpm, which honors HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY. If those point at an unreachable proxy, unset them (or point them at a working proxy) before adding packages.

Development

npm run build
npm test
npm run check

The build embeds both 1536×2288 RGBA WebP v2 atlases in the client closure, avoiding installation-path-dependent asset routes.

Marketplace publishing

Update package.json.repository.url, run npm run check, publish with npm publish --access public, and add the GitHub topics dsh-plugin, deepseek-harness, desktop-pet, and basketball.
