What this handbook is for

DeepSeek Harness, or DSH, follows an “Everything is a Plugin” model. Community plugins can add development tools, automation, browser interaction, interface design, session management, model integrations, security controls, and storage.

This repository is written for people who want to use those products. It is not an API reference, architecture guide, or plugin-development manual. It helps you answer four practical questions:

1. Which kind of plugin matches my goal?
2. What should I inspect before installation?
3. Where can I find the latest plugin information?
4. What should I do when permissions or compatibility cause problems?

Every published plugin name opens an internal dshplugin.dev detail page. The repository also keeps the complete 1,488-record discovery snapshot visible, including candidates and records withheld from publication. Only the 87-page public baseline verified on 2026-08-17 receives a detail-page link, so visibility is never confused with publication or recommendation.

[!IMPORTANT] dshplugin.dev is an independent community directory. It is not an official DeepSeek website, and a listing is not an endorsement by DeepSeek or the publisher. A public repository, star count, or recent update does not prove safety, compatibility, or maintenance quality.

Complete ecosystem inventory

Nothing in the 2026-08-17 snapshot is hidden. Open the complete inventory to browse all 1,488 records by publication status:

Inventory	Records	What you can do
Published	87	Open the plugin's complete product page on dshplugin.dev.
Candidate	1,166	Review the name, category, summary, language, and license while human publication review is pending.
Quarantined	216	See records kept for audit because the available evidence is incomplete.
Rejected	19	See records that failed a hard publication gate.

Candidate, quarantined, and rejected names are deliberately not linked to individual website pages because they are not part of the controlled public baseline. Some transitional URLs may still resolve while website cleanup is in progress. This keeps the full collected inventory visible without treating unstable pages as published destinations.

Choose by use case

The category files below are the clickable 87-page public catalog. The complete inventory separately exposes all 1,488 collected records without treating every discovery as published.

Category	Use it when you need	Snapshot	Complete catalog
Developer Tools	Code, terminal, file, debugging, API, or local-workflow improvements	46	Browse baseline
Automation	Repeatable tasks, agent coordination, orchestration, or integrations	10	Browse baseline
Browser	Navigation, research, extraction, testing, or browser bridges	9	Browse baseline
UI & Design	Interfaces, themes, visualization, design, or preview workflows	6	Browse baseline
Models	Model adapters, routing, fallback, or inference providers	2	Browse baseline
Sessions	History, memory, context, summaries, or conversation workflows	9	Browse baseline
Security	Permissions, sandboxing, policy, secrets, or defensive controls	5	Browse baseline
Storage	Persistence, databases, caches, or artifact storage	0	Baseline status

How publication status works

Discovery and publication are separate decisions. Automated crawling can identify a project, but it cannot promote that project into this public catalog.

Status	What it means for users
Public baseline	The historical cohort verified as indexed in Search Console. It is linked here to preserve stable URLs, but this does not prove a fresh manual review or safety certification.
Candidate	Passed initial automated checks and is waiting for human review. It is visible in the complete inventory but has no detail-page link.
Quarantined	Evidence is incomplete or does not yet establish a substantive DSH plugin. It is visible for audit but remains outside the public catalog.
Rejected	Archived, inaccessible, empty, or otherwise failed a hard gate. It remains visible in the audit inventory but should not be revived by a later crawl.

The wider ecosystem report can contain discovery and audit totals that are larger than this catalog. That difference is intentional: quality and stable indexation take priority over publishing every discovered repository.

A safer way to use community plugins

1. Run the base Harness first

For a first run, start the official Web UI with:

npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web

The documented default address is http://127.0.0.1:3080. Confirm that the base product works before adding third-party code. This gives you a clean baseline when something later fails.

2. Review the website detail page

Before installing, check:

• whether the plugin solves the problem you actually have;
• whether the complete install command comes from current publisher documentation;
• the intended profile, DSH version, operating system, and prerequisites;
• the latest update, open issues, and maintenance notes;
• whether the license fits personal, team, or commercial use;
• external services, accounts, secrets, or paid APIs it requires;
• screenshots, demos, or reproducible output supporting its claims.

3. Inspect permissions before granting them

A plugin is third-party code. Pause and read the source and publisher explanation if it can:

• read or write local files, or execute terminal commands;
• control a browser, inspect pages, or use an authenticated session;
• access the network, upload content, or call external APIs;
• read environment variables, credentials, sessions, or chat history;
• change model routing, approval policy, or security settings.

If a detail page has no install command or permission explanation, treat it as informational. Do not invent a command from the repository name.

4. Verify one capability at a time

1. Keep the publisher's profile, branch, tag, and version information intact.
2. Refresh or restart the intended profile and check for load or approval errors.
3. Run the smallest reversible example in the documentation.
4. Grant only the permissions the advertised capability needs.
5. Record the repository and installed revision so you can reproduce or reverse the change.

How to compare two plugins

Do not use star count alone.

Dimension	Question to ask
Need fit	Does the plugin solve your exact problem, or does it only mention DSH?
Installation clarity	Does it provide a complete command, target profile, and prerequisites?
Compatibility	Does it name supported DSH versions, systems, and known limitations?
Permission scope	Are requested capabilities proportional to the feature?
Verifiable evidence	Is there a screenshot, demo, sample output, or test procedure?
Maintenance	Are updates recent, issues answered, and breaking changes documented?
License	Can you use it in your personal, team, or commercial setting?
Exit path	Can you disable, remove, or roll it back cleanly?

Troubleshooting

The plugin does not appear after installation

Recheck the profile, package name, branch, or tag. Then inspect the Harness interface and publisher issues for a load error. Avoid installing several new plugins at once, because that makes the failing change harder to isolate.

It stopped working after an update

DeepSeek Harness is still changing quickly, and the official project warns about compatibility-breaking changes. Compare the Harness version, the plugin's last update, and the publisher's compatibility notes. Return to a recorded working version when necessary.

It requests broad access

Stop before approving it. Confirm that each permission is directly connected to the feature, then inspect the source, rationale, and issue history. Unexplained file, browser, network, or secret access should not be granted.

Does a listing mean the plugin is recommended or certified?

No. A listing means the directory found and normalized public-source information. It is not a security audit, compatibility certificate, quality guarantee, or official recommendation.

Data scope and updates

• Snapshot date: 2026-08-17
• Complete discovery snapshot visible in this repository: 1,488 records
• Controlled public baseline in this repository: 87 plugin pages
• Publication review queues: 1,166 candidates, 216 quarantined, and 19 rejected
• Categories represented in the baseline: 7, plus an empty Storage status page
• Sources: public GitHub repositories, npm metadata, and publisher pages
• Live status: Ecosystem report
• Inclusion method: Editorial policy

Plugin names, descriptions, licenses, and activity can change. The complete inventory preserves the audit snapshot; the category files remain the controlled clickable catalog. For a published plugin, use its website detail page and publisher source to verify current status.

Submit or correct a listing

Plugin authors can publish a clear public repository, add the dsh-plugin GitHub topic, and follow the submission guide. Discovery creates a review candidate; it does not automatically publish a listing.

For a correction or missing project, provide public-source evidence through the contact page or a repository issue. See CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution rules.
