🤔 Why

Most DSH vision plugins only read images — and many push you through a shared third-party endpoint. dsh-media-skills takes a different stance:

	This bundle	Typical vision-only plugin
Read images for free	✅ Zhipu GLM-4V-Flash	✅
Generate images for free	✅ SiliconFlow Kolors	❌ usually absent
Auto model route in the picker	✅ installed automatically	sometimes
Keys committed to the repo	❌ never — keys stay local	⚠️ often required
Docs in multiple languages	✅ 9 languages	❌ usually English only
Privacy	✅ you choose the provider; images only go to your provider	shared free endpoints can see your images

Why bring your own free key instead of a built-in anonymous endpoint? Privacy and reliability. Your images go only to the provider you choose, under your account and your rate limits — no shared third-party service in the middle.

✨ What you get

Capability	What it does	Model	Cost
📎 Paste-image reading	In a text-only session, the input bar gains an “Add image” button (paperclip); pasted images are auto-described by the vision model and handed to the current model as text	Zhipu GLM-4V-Flash	Free
🧠 Vision model route	「智谱 GLM-4V-Flash（视觉）」 appears in the model selector automatically — pick it for a new conversation and talk about images directly	Zhipu GLM-4V-Flash	Free
👁️ vision-review	Analyze / recognize / describe images & screenshots; catch UI visual bugs (overlap, overflow, misalignment); detect watermarks/logos; turn images into text	Zhipu GLM-4V-Flash	Free
🎨 media-tools	Generate images, illustrations, avatars, backgrounds, banners	SiliconFlow Kolors	Free, no watermark

⚡ Quick start

dsh plugin --profile <name> add github:akqwpeter-prog/dsh-media-skills

1. Get two free keys (~2 minutes, no payment):

   • Zhipu — open.bigmodel.cn → API Keys (glm-4v-flash is free)
   • SiliconFlow — siliconflow.cn → API Keys (Kolors is free)

2. Add them in the Web GUI (Settings → Models → the zhipu-vision provider's API Key field), or use the credentials file:

   # ~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml (chmod 600)
   GLM_API_KEY: <your key>
   

3. Restart dsh web, then hard-refresh (Cmd+Shift+R).

Verify: the model selector shows 智谱 GLM-4V-Flash（视觉）. If your Harness build supports paste-image reading, the input bar also has a 📎 Add image button — paste an image in any session and it arrives as a text description.

Full walkthrough and troubleshooting: docs/SETUP_VISION_EN.md.

📸 See it in action

Paste an image in a text-only session → the free vision model describes it → your model answers. The same bundle also generates new images on demand.

How it works in one picture:

🚀 Usage

Three ways to read images:

Way	How	When
A. Paste directly (recommended)	In any session, click the 📎 button / drag / paste an image and send	Everyday image questions — no file saving, no model switching
B. Vision model session	New conversation, pick 智谱 GLM-4V-Flash（视觉）, paste images and chat	Multi-turn image conversations, native read_image
C. Files + skill	Put the image in the workspace and say “read this image with vision-review”	Batch review, scripted workflows

Descriptions follow your message language (Chinese message → Chinese description; English message → English description; no text → Chinese).

Also just say:

• “Look at this image / check this screenshot for visual bugs” → vision-review
• “Generate an image of …” → media-tools

🔑 Keys & privacy

Keys are never stored in this repo. Skill scripts read, in order: environment variables → ~/.dsh/secrets/media-tools.env → ~/.codex/secrets/media-tools.env (legacy fallback). The vision model route reads GLM_API_KEY from DSH's credential store.

# ~/.dsh/secrets/media-tools.env (chmod 600, one KEY=value per line)
GLM_API_KEY=...
SILICONFLOW_API_KEY=...

Your images are sent only to the provider you configure — never to this repo, never to a shared anonymous endpoint.

❓ FAQ

Does paste-image reading require a DeepSeek Harness core patch? The auto-describe pipeline lives in the Harness core (api-proxy image-admission logic; see docs/HARNESS_PATCH_EN.md). This bundle ships the model route + skills: the vision model works on any DSH build, but paste-image reading requires a Harness build with that core support — see FAQ Q1 in docs/SETUP_VISION_EN.md.

Why not just use a built-in free endpoint with no key at all? We prefer to let you own the route: your images go to the provider you pick, under your rate limits, with no shared middleman. The keys are free and take about two minutes to create.

Is media-tools really free? Yes — SiliconFlow Kolors is free and watermark-free. If a model is temporarily disabled, the skill lists available models and you can switch.

🎁 Examples

Sample material to try instantly — 6 AI-generated images with their prompts, plus a purpose-built vision test card (title, buttons, bar-chart values) for checking reading accuracy:
