dsh-community-plugins

A DeepSeek Harness (dsh) plugin that registers a global skill for discovering, evaluating and installing community plugins — from the GitHub dsh-plugin topic, the dshmarket GUI, and npm.

Looking for a DeepSeek Harness plugin to install? This bundle adds the dsh-community-plugins skill to every agent session: agents learn which marketplace tools are already installed (market_search, dshmarket), how to search the dsh-plugin ecosystem, how to vet a plugin before installing it, and how to install via dsh plugin (npm, GitHub, tarball, or link: development mode).

Why this plugin

DeepSeek Harness plugins provide capabilities through two complementary mechanisms: Tools and Skills.

	Tool (e.g. market_search)	Skill (registered by this plugin)
Nature	Capability channel: callable functions	Context knowledge: when, why, and how to call
Installed by	dsh-plugin-marketplace etc.	This plugin
Effect alone	Tool exists, but the agent does not recognize it	No marketplace interface to call

Installing a marketplace tool alone is not enough. An LLM agent's behavior is driven by context knowledge:

• web_search has an intuitive description and is any model's default generic approach;
• market_search is a DSH-specific tool. Without this skill, the agent does not know it exists, does not associate it with installing plugins, and does not understand the local profile layout, the bundle mechanism, the vetting workflow, or the restart requirement.

Without this plugin, agents fall back to generic web search. With it, every new session's agent automatically knows which marketplaces and tools are installed, which structured channels to query first, how to vet sources, how to install through the official mechanism, and how to verify the result. In practice, on the same environment, agents relied on web search before the skill was active, and invoked market_search directly with accurate install commands on their first response afterwards.

Features

• Registers a global skill: dsh-community-plugins appears in every session's <available_skills> catalog
• Teaches the agent to identify locally installed plugins (dshmarket, dsh-plugin-marketplace, etc.)
• Provides community plugin discovery channels: GitHub dsh-plugin topic, npm, dshmarket registry snapshot
• Documents the official install methods: dsh plugin command, GitHub direct install, tarball, link: development mode
• States the constraints: do not modify official shipped presets, restart required after install, build-authorization boundaries

Install

Prerequisite: dsh CLI (or invoke apps/cli/lib/bin.js from the dsh install root). Choose one of the following:

# GitHub direct install (pure JS, zero dependencies, no build authorization)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:HubaKing/dsh-community-plugins

# tarball (works offline)
curl -LO https://github.com/HubaKing/dsh-community-plugins/releases/download/v0.1.0/dsh-community-plugins-0.1.0.tgz
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-community-plugins-0.1.0.tgz

# source + link (development mode, edits take effect immediately)
git clone https://github.com/HubaKing/dsh-community-plugins.git "${DSH_HOME:-~/.dsh}/plugins/dsh-community-plugins"
dsh plugin --profile web add link:${DSH_HOME:-~/.dsh}/plugins/dsh-community-plugins

Restart dsh after installing (bundle layers are composed at startup). Installation succeeds when dsh-community-plugins appears in <available_skills> of a new session.

When dsh is not on PATH, use node <dsh install root>/apps/cli/lib/bin.js plugin --profile web add <spec>.

How it works

File	Responsibility
index.js	Plugin entry: registers the skills/ directory into the global ctx.skills registry
cordis.patch.yml	Bundle patch layer: the - insert: row mounts the plugin at profile startup
skills/dsh-community-plugins/SKILL.md	The skill body the agent reads
package.json	Declares the dsh.bundle.patch manifest

Key points:

• Pure JavaScript, zero dependencies: GitHub direct install needs no prepare script or allowBuilds authorization (the build gate for TypeScript plugins, per the official docs)
• Hot update: index.js re-reads from disk on every discovery; editing SKILL.md requires no restart or reinstall
• Official plugin shape: function form export const name + export function apply(ctx) + dsh.bundle manifest

Modifying the skill content

Edit skills/dsh-community-plugins/SKILL.md; changes take effect on save, then git push to share with other users.

Build and release

This plugin is pure JavaScript with zero dependencies and no compilation step; both GitHub direct install and tarball require no build authorization.

# Syntax check
node --check index.js

# Package a distribution tarball (pnpm pack)
pnpm pack

# Release to GitHub Releases
# 1. Bump the version in package.json
# 2. Tag and push: git tag v<version> && git push origin v<version>
# 3. Create a Release on the GitHub Releases page and upload the tarball from pnpm pack
