dsh-later — In-Session Scheduled Message Plugin

中文 | English

Set reminders for yourself inside DSH: set by you, delivered into the current conversation, driven server-side, available across devices — on time, even with the browser closed.

/later delayed send — no panel needed: type one line in the input box and it is sent later as yourself (demo: typing /later +5s, +3m, +1h20m character by character, then Enter to start the countdowns; the +5s one really lands when due):

How to use

Schedule panel

Click the "Schedule send" button to the right of the input box. The panel uses the input box content as the reminder text; pick a time, then click "Add · send at HH:MM" (the button stays disabled until a time is chosen). A countdown row then appears above the input box.

Capability	Description
Quick chips	One-tap in 10 minutes / in 1 hour / work hours (configurable in settings)
Custom time	"Custom…" opens date + time inputs
Send preview	See the exact due-time form before confirming
Task list	All scheduled items, deletable one by one
Cancel all	Cancel action on the chip clears every reminder in this conversation

Time formats

All of these are accepted (/schedule, /later, and the panel's custom time share the same parser):

Kind	Examples
Relative duration	+30m · +1h30m · +90s · +1w · 30分钟后 · 半小时后
Time today	15:32 · 9点 · 9点半 · 1532
Relative day + time	明天9点 · 后天 10:00
Date + time	8月21日 15:32 · 2026-08-21 15:32 · 0821-1532

A bare time (like 1532) rolls over to tomorrow if it has already passed today (up to 7 days). Writing 明天/后天 is taken literally — if that time has passed you are told to use a concrete date instead. A month/day only (like 8月21日) rolls over to next year when this year's has passed.

Commands

Command	Effect
/schedule <time> <content>	Create a reminder (shows up in the conversation when due)
/later <time> <content>	Delayed send: deliver the content later as yourself
/schedule every <interval> <content>	Recurring reminder (interval ≥ 5 min)

/schedule 明天9点 提交周报
/later 1532 提醒团队同步进度

The model can also call user tools on your behalf to create/inspect/delete/edit reminders (user_schedule_create / user_schedule_list / user_schedule_delete / user_schedule_edit).

Pending dock

The countdown rows above the input box. Each row ends with three buttons: Edit reminder (change the text inline), Delete reminder (cancel that item), and Send now (push it to the agent immediately, skipping the countdown).

⚠️ "Send now" is not a confirm button — it immediately delivers the reminder text to the agent and wakes the model. To cancel, use Delete.

Sidebar presence indicator

Conversations with active reminders show a pixel clock in their sidebar row (alongside the "active" orb):

Icon	Meaning
	Purple · has scheduled reminders
	Amber · next fire within 5 minutes
	Red · overdue (waiting for the session to become idle)

Hover shows "Next at 15:32 · 3 task(s)"; when overdue it shows "Due · 3 task(s) (sends when the session is idle)".

Schedule panel — quick slots / custom time / pending list:

Pending dock — countdown rows above the input box (inline edit / cancel):

A real due-time firing — when the time comes, a ⏰ Scheduled reminder message appears in the conversation (fires even with the page closed):

Feature overview

• Input-bar timer button: one click opens the schedule panel — smart time slots / custom time / send preview / pending list / countdown chip.
• Pending dock: a list above the input box; each item can be cancelled individually or edited inline via its edit icon.
• /later delayed send: deliver the text you are typing right now later, as yourself (see the difference).
• Sidebar presence indicator: conversations with active reminders show a pixel clock in the sidebar (purple = scheduled · amber = fires within 5 min · red = overdue); hover shows count and next fire time.
• Fires with the page closed: reminders persist server-side and arrive on time across devices.
• Never impersonates you: when due, the message appears as a Reminder — it is never framed as your own words.
• Multilingual: follows the DSH UI language (Chinese / English), live without reload.
• Reminders don't carry across sessions: sessions forked from this one never inherit the parent's reminders.

Reminders vs. delayed sends: what's the difference?

Action	When it takes effect	Who sends it	What you see
Enter in the input box	Immediately	You	Normal user bubble
Schedule panel / /schedule <time> <content>	When due	The reminder	Reminder · HH:MM · content row
/later <time> <content>	When due	As yourself	Normal user bubble

/schedule is not "delayed send": pressing Enter on /schedule … sends it immediately (as a user message); only the reminder itself is deferred. If you want "send the text I'm typing now, later, as if I said it", use /later.

Quick start

Install into DSH

From npm (recommended — prebuilt, no approval needed):

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-later
# restart dsh web to activate

Or build from source and add it to your DSH Web profile:

cd dsh-later
npm install
npm run build

dsh plugin --profile web add "file:/path/to/dsh-later"
# restart dsh web to activate

Dev tip: npm run watch rebuilds on src/ changes and runs shape regression tests.

Your first reminder

1. Open any conversation — a "Schedule" button appears right of the input box;
2. Click it → pick a smart slot, or enter a custom time and content;
3. Confirm → a countdown chip appears next to the button and the dock shows the pending item;
4. When due, a Reminder message lands in the conversation — it fires even if you close the page.

---

Long-text reminders

Reminder content is limited to 1000 characters by default. For longer content, enable allowLongPrompts in DSH Settings → Plugins → Session Scheduler and set maxPromptChars.

• Good for: code snippets, meeting notes, long quotes, cross-device notes/todos.
• Not recommended: text that could read as instructions (the longer it is, the bigger the risk); a shared public profile (anyone could raise the limit).

---

Configuration

Works out of the box. Adjust in DSH Settings → Plugins → Session Scheduler (applies live, no restart):

Field	Description	Default
Show schedule button	Whether the timer button shows on the input bar (hiding it never affects existing reminders or the dock)	Shown
Max schedules per session	Max reminders allowed in one conversation	100
Allow long prompts	Lift the 1000-character default cap	Off
Custom cap	Character cap when allowLongPrompts is on	1000
Work hours / lunch / night quiet	Five HH:mm fields driving smart slots and auto-scheduling	See settings page

Advanced: defaults can also be overridden at startup via cordis.patch.yml (e.g. maxSchedules) — see docs/ and the schema.
