dsh-balance

English | 中文

The /balance command for DeepSeek Harness: reads the DeepSeek account balance and answers in the session, without a browser panel or a settings page.

What it does

• Registers /balance with the command registry. The answer is the command's own text, so it renders in the session that invoked it and never reaches the model.
• Reads GET {baseUrl}/user/balance with the resolved API key and reports every funded currency, with the topped-up and granted parts of each.
• /balance refresh bypasses the cache.
• The key is resolved per invocation: config apiKey, then the credentials reference apiKeyRef (DEEPSEEK_API_KEY by default — $DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml or the process environment). A rotated key reaches the next invocation without a restart.
• A failed refresh still shows the last successful reading and says so, instead of hiding a known balance behind a transient outage.

Install

# from GitHub
dsh plugin --profile web add github:DWJZ/dsh-balance

# local development (the profile links the checkout, so edits apply on restart)
dsh plugin --profile web add link:/path/to/dsh-balance

Configuration

Optional; write it into $DSH_HOME/profiles//cordis.patch.yml:

- id: dsh-balance
config:
apiKey: ''                        # explicit key; empty means "use apiKeyRef"
apiKeyRef: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY       # credentials / environment reference
baseUrl: https://api.deepseek.com
timeoutMs: 10000
cacheMs: 30000                    # how long one reading answers later calls

An unusable value (a non-string reference, a timeout below one second) fails loud at load instead of being silently replaced.

Test

node test/smoke.mjs

Drives the handler against a stubbed platform API: success formatting, the cache and /balance refresh, a missing key, HTTP 401, a transport failure, the stale-reading fallback, and the zero-balance currency rule.
