Riffkit for DSH

The Riffkit agent skill, packaged as an installable DSH bundle.

dsh plugin add @riffkit/dsh-plugin

Riff a winning short video into your own: Riffkit studies why a video worked — the hook, the pacing, the emotional beats — and rebuilds that formula as new footage with your product, your character and your language. The source clip is never re-uploaded; what carries over is the structure, not a single frame.

What this package is

A packaging layer, nothing more. It ships one thing — the skill — and registers its own directory as an additional skill root through cordis.patch.yml:

- insert:
    - id: riffkit-skill-root
      name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-skill-filesystem'
      config:
        providerName: riffkit-bundle
        includeDefaultRoots: false
        customSkillDirs: [ … the skills/ dir inside this package … ]

It inserts its own provider row rather than editing the base one, because a patch replaces a targeted row's whole config instead of merging into it — overriding would wipe whatever you had configured there. With includeDefaultRoots: false this provider sees exactly one root: its own. It cannot shadow your skills, and yours cannot shadow it.

Not using DSH?

Then you do not need this package. The skill is a single Markdown file and every harness that reads a skills root can load it directly:

mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/riffkit
curl -sSL https://riffkit.ai/SKILL.md -o ~/.agents/skills/riffkit/SKILL.md

That path — ~/.agents/skills — is the shared root several harnesses scan, so one copy registers Riffkit in all of them. See riffkit/skill for the skill itself, examples, and the install lines for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex.

How this stays current

Nothing here is written by hand. A daily workflow pulls SKILL.md, HEARTBEAT.md and SKILL.json from riffkit.ai — the single source of truth, served from the app on deploy — derives package.json and cordis.patch.yml from them (scripts/generate.mjs), proves the result is still discoverable by DSH's own provider (scripts/smoke.mjs), and publishes any version the registry does not have yet.

The skill also carries its own 24-hour version heartbeat, so an installed copy re-syncs itself between package updates.
