DeepSeek Harness Plugin Market & Capability Guide

Find plugins by what they actually do, install community bundles with ready-to-run commands, see where each plugin appears after installation, and distinguish installable community plugins from official capabilities that DSH already ships.

Community plugin ≠ official DSH package

Installable community plugins usually declare a DSH bundle and can be added with dsh plugin --profile web add …. Many official @deepseek-ai/dsh-* packages are already part of the Standard preset or host runtime, so installing another copy is usually the wrong action.

COMMUNITY ECOSYSTEM

Discover first, inspect review information, then decide whether to install

The DSH discovery ecosystem contains 2,000+ plugins, but volume, stars and downloads are not safety signals. The Community Plugin Explorer cross-references discovery data with structural review records; every non-DeepSeek plugin is simply labeled “Third-party.”

Origin labelsDeepSeek first-party plugin / capability: OfficialAll other community plugins: Third-partyReview records, lifecycle scripts and build approval are shown separately from the origin label

The correct third-party plugin path

1

Search by capability in the Community Plugin Explorer instead of installing something because it ranks highly.

2

Origin labels only describe source: DeepSeek entries say “Official,” everything else says “Third-party.” Structural review, lifecycle scripts and build approval remain separate detail fields.

3

For the actual install, return to the author source and README, pin your own version/commit, and test first in a disposable profile/workspace.

Third-party starter candidates

These are candidates worth investigating, not a security allowlist or download chart. Open the Explorer and inspect review information before installing any of them.

#1
Plugin market

dsh-market

A plugin marketplace inside DSH Settings with search, categories, star counts, top/new sorting, one-click install, update and uninstall.

Possible usage entryRestart DSH, then open Settings → Plugin Market.
#2
Plugin discovery

dsh-find-plugin

Let the agent search the dsh-plugin ecosystem for you and return star-ranked results with ready-to-run install commands.

Possible usage entryRestart DSH, then ask the agent what capability you want, such as a Git review or notification plugin.
#3
Files & multimodal

dsh-file-upload

Add an upload button and drag-and-drop files or folders into DSH conversations, with image attachment integration when supported.

Possible usage entryRestart DSH, then use the upload button or drag files and folders into the Web UI.
#4
UI enhancement

dsh-model-search

Add provider/model/ID search to the model selector without changing routing or credentials.

Possible usage entryRefresh the Harness page after installation, then type in the model selector search box.
#5
Skills UI

dsh-skill-picker

Browse and search installed skills from a visible picker instead of remembering every /skill-name prefix.

Possible usage entryRefresh or restart DSH, click the skill picker beside the composer, choose a skill, then send the generated /skill-name gesture.
How to use rankings

Stars, downloads and Top/New are discovery signals, not security decisions. The Explorer can sort by review evidence, stars, downloads or recency, while the origin label remains simply Official or Third-party.

Third-party plugin categories

The community catalog spans UI, models, memory, browser, multimodal, skills, automation, Git, notifications, security and remote access. Categories help discovery; review information stays separate.

Official capability priority

Many @deepseek-ai/dsh-* packages are host/runtime components rather than things ordinary users should install. They are all labeled Official; their operational status is shown separately.

Official capability & package directory

Official entries use a single Official label. Whether something is Standard-included, host-included, optional or advanced is shown separately as its current status.

Detailed official capability guides

A safe first extension starts with source review and a disposable workspace. Inspect the package source and its documentation before installing it, then use these guides when you need configuration details, verification steps, limits or custom-composition examples for high-value official capabilities.
