How to work on a project in one split window with files, terminal, and browser with DSH Worktable

Open a project as a dockable workspace that combines file explorer, terminal, browser, and chat in one layout.

Credentials. The terminal pane runs a PowerShell host on Windows and its commands can reach files and the network, so do not paste secrets into it that you would not give the commands.

Who it is forA developer building a web or agent project who switches constantly between editing files, running commands, and previewing output.

The problemKeeping an editor, a terminal, a browser preview, and an agent chat side by side in separate windows is slow to set up and lost on every reload.

The outcomeOne project opens as a split workspace with a saved layout, draggable dividers, and per-pane tabs for files, terminal, and preview.

What you need first

  • A working DeepSeek Harness (dsh) install with the web profile, or the Desktop app on Windows for the tested Desktop scope
  • Node.js and npm if you plan to clone the repo and build from source
  • A browser where you can keep the same origin, since projects and layouts are stored in browser localStorage

Steps

  1. Complete the install and restart steps for the web profile first.
  2. In the sidebar, click ＋ and choose a layout preset such as left column, top row, or main grid with right chat pane.
  3. Set the project folder so the file explorer and file panes point at the right directory.
  4. Open the built-in panes you need: file explorer, terminal, browser, animation site, or custom window.
  5. Drag the dividers to resize panes; the width is saved per layout.

Prompt for your agent

Using the repo Aisland-SJL/dsh-worktable in DeepSeek Harness, create a project for <project-folder> with a split layout that includes file explorer, terminal, and browser panes. Report the layout name and pane list. Verify that reopening the project restores the same panes and widths.

Caveat. The terminal pane is a plain PowerShell host on Windows with no PTY feature parity with the native terminal app, and layouts do not sync between Web and Desktop origins.
