Prerequisites

• Chrome running with Browser Bridge extension installed
• Logged in to chat.deepseek.com

Caveats

• This adapter drives the DeepSeek web UI in the browser, not an API
• DeepSeek commands default to persistent site sessions, so consecutive deepseek ask / deepseek read / deepseek detail invocations continue in the same DeepSeek page. Pass --site-session ephemeral for a one-shot tab.
• Default mode is Instant with DeepThink and Search disabled; each flag (--model, --think, --search) is synced on every invocation so omitting a flag resets it
• Vision mode does not support --search; use --model instant or --model expert for web search
• send requires an explicit conversation ID; use history to find a conversation URL or ID first
• Long responses (code, essays) may need a higher --timeout
• File upload prefers the browser file-input path, falls back to base64 injection when needed, and rejects files over 100 MB
