What it does
Clippy is back and this time he can actually help. An office assistant pet that reacts to real agent state, jumps when the turn completes, and opens a classic "illegal operation" dialog when a turn fails.
Best for
- DSH Web users who want a retro office-assistant pet that reacts to actual thinking, tool, completion, and failure events.
- Users who value visible completion and failure cues, including a completion jump and the classic failure dialog.
- People who want a draggable, configurable companion with custom lines, optional sounds, and risk-related interjections.
Not ideal for
- Headless or non-Web DSH workflows with no interface corner for the pet.
- Users who want a purely functional interface without decorative reactions or occasional interjections.
- Workflows requiring an official Microsoft product or affiliation; the plugin is explicitly unaffiliated.

“It looks like you’re writing code. This time I can actually help.”
An office assistant pet for the DeepSeek Harness Web UI.
He watched you write documents for 25 years and could do nothing. Now he has an agent runtime.
Install
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-clippy
Restart dsh web and he is in the corner.
He interrupts you again
The classic. He reads your message on its way to the agent, and when it looks risky he has opinions. Say “deploy” and you get options. Each line fires once per session, then he lets it go.
He follows real agent state
He subscribes to core session events. Every reaction is the agent’s actual state, not a decoration.

- Thinking gets a head tilt. He reads your codebase now. All of it. Unlike 1997.
- Tool calls get a busy bounce.
- A completed turn gets a jump. He checked. Twice.
- A failed turn gets angry eyebrows and the classic dialog. “Your agent has performed an illegal operation.” The buttons are Close and It wasn’t me.
He has a personality now
- Blinks, glances around, and wiggles while idle.
- Click him for a reaction. Drag him anywhere.
- Right click for the menu. Hide, sound toggle, About Clippy, and Fire him. Again.
- Optional synthesized retro sounds (default off, no audio files shipped).
Custom lines
Every line he says can be replaced through the plugin config.
- id: clippy
name: 'dsh-clippy'

- 'Ship it.'
Pairs well with
The xp skin from dsh-skins turns the whole Web UI into a retro desktop. Clippy fits right in. He works on the default theme too.

Why
Every AI assistant today is trying to look like the future. The first one of them all deserves to come back and see how it turned out.
