DSH Skills Manager
Load and safely manage skills from DSH and common local Agents
简体中文 · Changelog · Apache-2.0
DSH Skills Manager is a community-maintained DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin, not an official DeepSeek AI product.
Features
- Discover and load user-level skills from
.agents, Codex, Claude, Gemini, and OpenCode into DSH. - Persist external source and skill toggles under
$DSH_HOME/skills-manager/state.jsonwithout rewriting shared source files. - Inspect Markdown bodies, frontmatter, load state, duplicate shadowing, and format diagnostics in a source-first UI.
- Create a local DSH skill from Settings or conversation; conversational writes require user approval.
- Move DSH-local skills to recoverable Trash, then restore or permanently delete them.
- Import
.ziparchives, skill folders, or a singleSKILL.mdsafely into$DSH_HOME/skills.
Screenshots
Browse by source or search in Settings → Skills. External Agent sources are loaded through a manager-owned provider while their files stay read-only:

Open any skill to inspect its source path, diagnostics, Markdown body, and parsed frontmatter:

Moving a DSH-local skill to Trash requires confirmation and remains recoverable until it is permanently deleted:

DSH product ecosystem
This product can be installed independently or used through the desktop app or Web suite. They share the same DSH core but serve different ways of working:
| Product | Relationship to this product |
|---|---|
| DeepSeek Harness | The host runtime that provides models, sessions, tools, and the plugin system |
| DSH Doubao Desktop | A ready-to-install desktop product with this product and the other five feature products built in |
| Six feature products | Codex UI · IM Connect · Automation · Skills Manager · Archive Manager · Agency Agents |
Prerequisites
- A working DeepSeek Harness Web installation with
dshavailable in PowerShell. - Examples use the
webprofile; replace it with the target profile. - Source installation and development require Node.js 20+. npm installation does not require running
npm installin an arbitrary directory.
Installation
dsh plugin add forwards to pnpm add in the profile directory. Without a version and official registry, a local mirror or minimum-release-age policy can leave you on an older build.
Ask another agent to install it
This plugin runs inside DeepSeek Harness Web. Copy one of the sentences below into DSH, Codex, or WorkBuddy and let that agent install it into your local web profile.
From npm:
Install the latest DSH plugin @liushutan/dsh-skills-manager into my local web profile using the official npm registry: dsh plugin --profile web add @liushutan/dsh-skills-manager@latest --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/. Then run dsh --profile web --dump-config, confirm skills-manager is mounted, and remind me to restart DSH Web and hard-refresh the browser.
From source:
Install the DSH plugin from source at https://github.com/liushutan/dsh-skills-manager: clone it, run npm install and npm test, then run dsh plugin --profile web add . from that directory. Do not copy lib by itself. Then run dsh --profile web --dump-config, confirm skills-manager is mounted, and remind me to restart DSH Web and hard-refresh the browser.
| Product | How to use it |
|---|---|
| DSH | Send one of the sentences above to the current session. |
| Codex | Send one of the sentences above to Codex and let it install locally. |
| WorkBuddy | Send one of the sentences above to WorkBuddy; for a source install you can also paste https://github.com/liushutan/dsh-skills-manager. |
Codex and WorkBuddy only install the plugin. After that, open DSH Web and use Settings → Skills.
You can also run the same npm command yourself:
dsh plugin --profile web add @liushutan/dsh-skills-manager@latest --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
If dsh is not on PATH, replace the leading dsh with npx --yes @deepseek-ai/dsh.
Install the latest package from the official npm registry
Run this from any PowerShell directory:
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
dsh plugin --profile web add @liushutan/dsh-skills-manager@latest --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
dsh --profile web --dump-config
To pin a release, replace @latest with a version such as @0.1.25.
The configuration output should contain skills-manager. Restart DSH Web and hard-refresh the browser. Do not copy client files manually: dsh plugin add also applies cordis.patch.yml.
Install from source
Use this for debugging or unpublished changes. The cloned directory becomes the plugin source path:
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
Set-Location D:\Repository\deepseek-harness-plugin
git clone https://github.com/liushutan/dsh-skills-manager.git
Set-Location .\dsh-skills-manager
npm install
npm test
dsh plugin --profile web add .
dsh --profile web --dump-config
Restart DSH Web and hard-refresh the browser. dsh plugin ... add . reads the package metadata and cordis.patch.yml; do not install by copying lib directly.
Usage
Open Settings → Skills, then use the panel as follows:
| Goal | Action | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Search or filter | Narrow by source, name, or description. | All sources |
| Inspect details | Review body, frontmatter, path, format diagnostics, and duplicate shadowing. | All sources |
| Enable or disable | DSH skills update their own invocation policy; external skills update manager-local state only. | All sources |
| Create or import | Create in Settings, or import .zip, a folder containing SKILL.md, or one SKILL.md. | $DSH_HOME/skills |
| Create from conversation | Let an Agent call create_skill; DSH asks for approval before writing. | $DSH_HOME/skills |
| Delete and recover | Move to Trash, restore, or permanently delete in a second step. | DSH-local skills |
Toggling a shared source never changes its files; only DSH-local skills can move to Trash.
Escape closes only the frontmost upload or confirmation dialog and leaves Settings open.
Permissions and safety limits
| Directory | View/load | Enable or disable | Create/import | Delete |
|---|---|---|---|---|
$DSH_HOME\skills | Yes | Updates local invocation policy | Yes | Moves to Trash |
$DSH_AGENTS_HOME\skills | Yes | Manager state only | No | No |
~/.codex/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills | Yes | Manager state only | No | No |
- Enable, disable, and delete accept only one ordinary skill-name path segment.
- Replacements copy to a temporary sibling path first and keep the original until that succeeds.
- Every endpoint, including GET
/state, accepts only a loopbackHostor a canonicalhost[:port]that the DSH Web runtime already trusts through its LAN bind and--trusted-host; unknown hosts still receive 403. - Browser requests must also carry a same-origin
Originwhen present and must not be marked cross-site; write endpoints continue to require JSON and the DSH client request marker. - Import accepts the local path selected by the user. The Host trust fence prevents DNS rebinding but is not authentication; reverse-proxy and LAN deployments still need authentication, a VPN, or network access controls.
Secondary development
This repository has no src directory. lib is directly maintained runtime source, which is its current layout rather than the recommended layout for new plugins. New plugins should prefer src built to lib.
- lib\index.js: host service and local skill file operations.
- lib\client.js: Settings page, upload, and confirmation interactions.
test\core-test.mjs: file-operation, permission, and import boundary tests.test\locale-test.mjs: UI locale tests.
After changing the runtime source, test, inspect package contents, and install from the local directory:
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
npm test
npm run pack:check
dsh plugin --profile web add .
Preserve path validation, temporary-copy replacement, and shared-skill read-only behavior when changing file-mutation code.
Validation
[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
$OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
npm test
npm run pack:check
prepublishOnly runs the core tests before publishing.
