DeepSeek Harness Plugin: dsh-skill-market

Introduction¶

The core design philosophy of DeepSeek Harness is “everything is a plugin.” When using Harness for agent development or daily operations, developers typically need to manually manage skill files locally, or browse skills on external websites such as SkillHub and then download them manually. The dsh-skill-market plugin integrates SkillHub’s skill catalog directly into DSH’s workflow by adding a Skill Market panel to the Harness sidebar. It allows users to complete the entire process—browsing, searching, viewing details, and installing—inside DSH, without leaving for external websites or manually operating the file system.

Plugin Overview¶

Name: dsh-skill-market
Core Functionality: Browse, search for, and install SkillHub skills inside DeepSeek Harness.
Maintainer: montersy123
License: MIT

Core Features¶

This plugin provides the following capabilities:
* Sidebar Integration: Adds a Skill Market panel to the DeepSeek Harness sidebar.
* Skill Discovery: Browse, filter, and search the SkillHub skill catalog. Supports category filtering and keyword search; cards display metrics such as download count and rating.
* One-Click Installation: Download and install skills from SkillHub locally.
* Detail Viewing: Click a skill card to open a detail drawer, including an overview, file list (with content preview), version history, permission statements, security scan reports, and metric statistics.
* Local Import: Supports drag-and-drop of .zip skill packages, or directly copying a folder into the skill directory to import it.
* Skill Management: Supports favoriting skills, and disabling skills without uninstalling them (the directory is moved to a disabled area and is not visible to Harness).
* Security Scanning: Integrates third-party security checks. The panel displays the green “Secure” badge only when all detectors report the skill as safe.

Installation and Activation¶

After the plugin is installed, you must restart DeepSeek Harness for it to take effect in new sessions.

Method 1: Install via UI¶

Open DeepSeek Harness.
Go to the “Plugins” page.
Click “Add Plugin”.
Enter the plugin package name in the input field:

@montersy123/dsh-skill-market

Click Install.

Method 2: Install via CLI¶

Select the corresponding profile based on your running mode (desktop is desktop, web is web):

# Web 端安装
dsh plugin --profile web add @montersy123/dsh-skill-market

# 桌面端安装
dsh plugin --profile desktop add @montersy123/dsh-skill-market

Typical Usage¶

After installation, use it as follows:
1. Find the “Skill Market” panel in the sidebar.
2. Use category filtering or keyword search to find the skill you need.
3. Click the card to view details; after confirming the content, click “Install”.
4. Restart DeepSeek Harness.
5. In a new session, the skill will be available as a local skill.
6. To import a local skill, you can drag a .zip file into the panel, or copy a folder directly into the $DSH_HOME/skills directory.

Data Storage and Notes¶

Data Location: All plugin data (including favorites, installed ledger, and disabled state) is stored in DSH’s storages directory, at the path $DSH_HOME/storages/@montersy123/dsh-skill-market/data/. The enabled skill files themselves are located in DSH’s skill root directory $DSH_HOME/skills.
Permissions and Security: The plugin does not create skills; skill ownership belongs to the original authors. Security scan conclusions are for reference only and do not constitute a guarantee. The panel displays the green badge only when all detectors report safe.
Operation Confirmation: Installing and updating skills does not prompt a confirmation dialog; uninstalling a skill or rolling back a version prompts a confirmation dialog to prevent accidental deletion.
Compliance: If the package being installed is non-compliant by itself (for example, the name field does not conform to the specification), the installation process will reject it directly.

Conclusion¶

dsh-skill-market is a tool that brings the SkillHub ecosystem into DeepSeek Harness. It simplifies the skill discovery and management process, allowing developers to complete everything from browsing to deployment within a single interface.
