Once installed, visit chat.deepseek.com. You will see a "BDS" button in the top-right corner. Click it to open the settings drawer.

Using Tool Tags

Simply ask DeepSeek to perform a task that would benefit from one of the tools. For example:

• "Create a Python script that calculates the Fibonacci sequence and run it."
• "Make an interactive pendulum simulation."
• "Generate a PowerPoint presentation about climate change."
• "Build a complete React to-do app as a downloadable project."

DeepSeek will use the appropriate tags automatically (guided by the injected system prompt).

Managing Memory

When DeepSeek writes to memory using <BDS:memory_write>, the entries appear in the "Stored Memory" section of the drawer. You can also manually import/export memory as JSON.

Uploading Folders and GitHub Repos

Click the "+" button next to the chat input to reveal the advanced upload menu. Choose "Upload Folder" to select a local directory; the extension will concatenate all text files into a single upload. On browsers without the File System Access API (Firefox), the folder picker falls back to the browser's native directory input so the flow still works. "GitHub Repo" fetches the repository as a ZIP and converts it to a gitingest-style text file for context.

For private repositories, add a classic GitHub personal access token with repo scope in Advanced Settings. The token is stored locally in the extension and is only sent to GitHub when you explicitly fetch a repository.
