🧊 dsh-ice-probe

A tiny DeepSeek Harness plugin that appends a 🧊 marker to the end of every sentence the model writes — including its chain of thought — and plays a short sound for each insertion.

It is a mechanical output-pipeline transform, not a prompt. The model is never asked to add emoji, so it cannot forget, miscount, or imitate.

The plan … 
- first read the file … 
- then rewrite it. This keeps things simple.

…and you hear a small blip each time a 🧊 lands on the screen.

Features

• **Sentence-end ice for text and reasoning.** Implemented on the host llm/stream waterfall, so it works for every model call.
• Survives settling. The settled copy of a finished step is transformed too, so the ice does not disappear when reasoning collapses.
• Sound for every insertion. A short synthesized tone; no audio assets, no downloads. Queue length selects one of four tiers, and a tier drains that many ice markers from the queue.
• Idempotent. Text that already has ice in front of its punctuation is left alone.
• Safe. Code fences, inline code, numbers (2.5), filenames (core.js), abbreviations (e.g.), tool-call arguments, session titles, compaction summaries and sub-agent/workflow sessions are never touched.
• No configuration required. Enable it: it applies. Disable it: the module is unloaded.

Install

# from npm (no build step)
dsh plugin add dsh-ice-probe

# or straight from GitHub
dsh plugin add github:uceqi114/dsh-ice-probe

Then make sure the plugin is enabled in the plugin marketplace. Enabling/disabling the plugin is the on/off switch — there is no in-conversation toggle.

Manual install

If you prefer to install it by hand:

1. Clone or copy this repository anywhere.

2. Add a link dependency to your profile's package.json:

   "dsh-ice-probe": "link:D:/path/to/dsh-ice-probe"

3. Register the bundle in the same file:

   "dsh": { "profile": { "bundles": ["dsh-ice-probe"] } }

4. Make sure node_modules/dsh-ice-probe resolves to the plugin directory.

Verify it works

The host half serves two local routes under your DSH web server:

Route · Purpose

/ice-probe/ · Live counters, the last few rewrites (samples), skip counters, last error

/ice-probe/selftest · The built-in sentence-transform test suite (also npm run selftest)

/ice-probe/ returning 404 means the plugin is not mounted (disabled in the marketplace, or not installed).

Behavior and limits

• Ice goes before the punctuation, so the sentence stays grammatical and copy/paste keeps normal punctuation at the end.
• Chinese: 。 ！ ？ … always get ice.
• English: ! ? always get ice (a run such as !!! counts once). A period only gets ice when it is followed by whitespace, a newline, or the end of the text — so decimals, versions, filenames and abbreviations are left alone.
• Never iced: fenced/inline code, tool-call arguments, session titles, compaction summaries, sub-agent and workflow output.
• The ice is written into the conversation log. It is part of the assistant message from then on; turning the plugin off does not remove ice from old messages, and the extra characters count toward the context.
• Sound requires a user gesture (browser autoplay policy). The first click/keypress on the page unlocks audio; until then ice is counted silently and plays once unlocked.

Privacy

• Everything runs locally: a host transform and a client-side counter.
• No telemetry, no network calls, no data collection. The two routes above are served by your own DSH web server.
• The plugin only ever adds characters to model output; it never rewrites existing text away.
