dsh-skills-pack
adithyanraj03/dsh-skills-pack
Registers 36 bundled agent skills (research writing, LaTeX, experiments, design review, office documents, animation, Windows shell and dsh plugin conventions) as one host-only skill provider with no UI, no network calls and no telemetry of its own; skill scripts run with the user's permissions only when invoked, local skills of the same name take priority, and uninstall removes all 36.
Installation
dsh plugin --profile web add github:adithyanraj03/dsh-skills-packREADME
dsh-skills-pack
English | 中文
A DeepSeek Harness plugin that installs 36 agent skills in one step. After installing, every skill below appears in the session catalog and loads on demand — research writing, LaTeX builds, experiment discipline, design review, office documents, animation, and Windows shell conventions.
It is a skill provider, not a copier:
- The skills are served straight from the installed package through dsh's skill registry (
ctx.skills.registerProvider). Nothing is written into~/.dsh/skillsor~/.agents/skills. - Your own skills always win. A skill you keep in any local root (project
.dsh/skills,.agents/skills,~/.dsh/skills,~/.agents/skills) shadows the bundled skill of the same name. - Clean uninstall. Disabling or removing the plugin removes all 36 bundled skills — no orphan files, no leftovers.
- No postinstall, no build scripts, no native dependencies. The only runtime dependency is the pure-JS
yamlparser, so the pnpmERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDStrap does not apply.

Install
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-skills-pack
dsh --profile web
Or straight from GitHub, before npm:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:adithyanraj03/dsh-skills-pack
In the desktop app
-
Open Plugins (settings, left sidebar) and click Add plugin.
-
Paste the repository address (the package name
dsh-skills-packworks too):https://github.com/adithyanraj03/dsh-skills-pack -
Click Install, then restart dsh when prompted.
The plugin has no lifecycle scripts, so there is nothing to approve with pnpm approve-builds. Confirm it mounted — it must appear in both dependencies and dsh.profile.bundles in the profile's package.json, and dsh --profile web --dump-config must show exactly one - id: skills-pack row.
How it works
The host half registers one provider on the skill registry. Discovery parses only each skill's YAML frontmatter; the body is re-read from the package on every load, and the skill's base directory is reported to the model so references/, scripts/ and assets/ resolve inside the installed package.
Precedence follows dsh's standard root ranks — the pack sits at the bundled rank, below every local root:
| Rank | Root | Wins over the pack? |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | <project>/.dsh/skills | yes |
| 200 | <project>/.agents/skills | yes |
| 300 | custom skill dirs | yes |
| 400 | ~/.dsh/skills | yes |
| 500 | ~/.agents/skills | yes |
| 600 | dsh-skills-pack (this plugin) | — |
To customize a bundled skill, copy its folder from the installed package into one of your local roots and edit it there; your copy takes over and survives plugin updates.
Compatibility
| Host | Status |
|---|---|
| dsh 0.2.2-rc.1 (desktop + web profile) | Built against its skill registry (registerProvider, rank 600). Provider unit suite: 783 checks passing. Live mount not yet verified on a clean profile. |
older hosts without ctx.skills | The row cannot activate (missing skills injection); nothing else is affected. |
Update and uninstall
dsh plugin --profile web update dsh-skills-pack --latest
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-skills-pack
If the update stays pinned by pnpm-lock.yaml, use pnpm add dsh-skills-pack@<version> in the profile directory. Removing the plugin removes every bundled skill immediately; your local skills are untouched.
