dsh-better-api

An enhanced Models settings plugin for the DSH Web GUI: per-model reasoning strength (reasoningEfforts) editing for your custom models.

The official models settings page ships no reasoning-effort control. This plugin adds it to the official model-catalog editor:

• Each model row gains a Reasoning strength checkbox group: off / minimal / low / medium / high / xhigh / max
• Checked levels are written into the model's reasoningEfforts (levels are sent under their own name; off is special-cased to "send no parameter")
• Unchecking everything removes the declaration, so the model falls back to "no reasoning" and no misleading control is shown
• Hand-declared custom models (OpenAI-compatible gateways, etc.) now get an Effort menu in the conversation model picker (provider default + the declared levels); picking one persists it as the session default

Forked from the official @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-settings-models (MIT) with only this editing capability added; everything else behaves like the official plugin.

Features

• Settings → Models → any provider → model catalog → expand a model row → check reasoning levels
• Also available while creating a new custom provider
• Full en/zh UI copy
• Writes land in the settings document (e.g. ~/.dsh/settings.yaml) on save — no restart required

Install

cd ~/.dsh/profiles/web
npm i github:131CDA1/dsh-better-api
# merge the repo-root cordis.patch.yml into this profile's cordis.patch.yml

or directly:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:131CDA1/dsh-better-api

Why must the official models settings page be disabled?

This plugin and the official one share the same settings.section#models slot; enabling both throws a duplicate-registration error. This plugin is an enhanced replacement for the official models settings page — the bundled patch disables the official row (ui-settings-models / @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-settings-models) automatically; if you install manually, disable that row in the plugin inventory first.

Does it conflict with other plugins?

No conflict with API proxy / relay / usage plugins.

Usage

1. Open Settings → Models, expand your provider card (e.g. custom gpt).
2. In Models, expand a model row (advanced area) and check the reasoning levels you want.
3. Click Apply.
4. Back in a conversation, select that model — the Effort menu now shows the declared levels.

Config reference (settings.yaml)

reasoningEfforts declares a model's selectable thinking levels: each key is a level selectors offer, its value the spelling dispatch sends on the wire (low: low passes the canonical name through; max: ultra renames it for a gateway with its own vocabulary). Keys come from the level set off / minimal / low / medium / high / xhigh / max; a level not declared is not offered.

llm-pi-ai:
  providers:
    gpt:
      apiKeyEnv: GPT_API_KEY
      api: openai-completions
      baseURL: https://api.example.com
      models:
        - id: gpt-5.6-sol
          name: GPT-5.6 Sol
          reasoningEfforts:
            low: low
            medium: medium
            high: high

• off is the one three-state key: declared with no value (off:) offers Off and sends no parameter when selected; declared with a value (off: none) sends that value.
• Once declared, the declaration is the whole offer — restate every level you want to keep.
• For gateways with their own vocabulary, change the value (e.g. max: ultra) — no UI change needed.
