deepseek-pick

A search-first model picker for dsh. Companion to deepseek-peak.

Replaces the composer model seat (conversation.input.model) with a search-enabled variant. The seat shows the current model name; click it to open a popover with a search input at the top of the catalog. Filter as you type, ↑/↓ to move, Enter to pick, Esc to close. The selection lands through the same select verb the upstream model seat uses, so the host-reported current model is the single fact source.

Install

./install.sh /path/to/your/dsh

Or, on Windows, the PowerShell port does the same:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install-pick-port.ps1

Then start dsh:

cd /path/to/your/dsh
pnpm dsh web

The "Pick model" seat is the composer model selector itself. Click it → the popover opens above with the search input on top of the group-organized model list.

Uninstall

./uninstall.sh /path/to/your/dsh

Why

The upstream /model popup is a flat list with no search. Once a deployment has more than a handful of models — and a typical model catalog has DeepSeek V4 Flash, V4 Pro, plus anything else the user has wired in — finding the right one becomes a scroll. A search-first picker (Cmd-K-style) is the standard remedy.

This plugin reuses dsh's existing ModelDirectoryResolver; it doesn't fork state with the upstream picker. The seat shows the same current because the host is the single fact source, and a pick made via the /model command-line popup (which is unaffected — it lives in a different surface) is what the seat shows next.

Slot ownership

conversation.input.model is a kind: 'single' slot — only one occupant. The last registration wins. The pick row in cordis.patch.yml is placed after ui-model-selection, so the pick seat shadows the upstream seat. The upstream's /model command-line popup is a separate surface and is unaffected.

If you want to keep the upstream's flat list instead, move the ui-pick row in cordis.patch.yml to before ui-model-selection. The upstream seat will then shadow the pick seat.
