Every DeepSeek Harness plugin

What it is — This plugin ports the Matt Pocock skill set to DeepSeek Harness Cordis plugin architecture, registering a skill provider at the host layer of ctx.skills and providing 25 skills including grilling, writing-for-agents.

Who it is for — When you need to merge grilling, writing-for-agents or code-review skills into the scope chain of an agent preset in DeepSeek Harness, install this plugin. Users who do not need to register skill providers into the profile scope chain can skip it.

Watch out — Sandbox test passes after installation registers into profile. Static check flags shell command execution but this is not a defect. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it mounts skills to the profile scope chain via import.meta.url, but only if you need those skills.

What it is — Register the read-only tool repo_setup_scan, which scans the project directory for language stack, test settings, documentation, git, Docker, and database clues, then provides recommended plugins, MCP servers, and hygiene files.

Who it is for — When the model enters a new or unfamiliar repository, users are suitable to install it to automatically invoke repo_setup_scan. Users who do not need to provide recommended plugins are not suitable to install it, because they already have complete configurations.

Watch out — Sandbox testing passed: installed in a fresh profile and registered by harness. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — Install it because it provides an automatic scan report for recommendations, but only if configuration suggestions are needed.

What it is — Delivers local-first structured vision for text-only DeepSeek Harness agents: images route to a local OpenAI-compatible VLM and return JSON evidence with summary, verbatim OCR, layout regions, entities/relations, colors, and explicit uncertainty.

Who it is for — It fits users handling image-inclusive tasks with text-only models that lack native vision support. Agents with built-in image capabilities do not require this plugin.

Watch out — Successfully tested in a fresh profile with harness registration. Depends on a running local VLM endpoint. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it for local-privacy vision on text agents with existing VLM access, as it enforces structured evidence and anti-hallucination fallback; otherwise, not worth it.

What it is — Renders Mermaid code blocks in conversation messages into interactive diagram cards with zoom, fit-width, fullscreen viewer, and preview/code toggle using official UI primitives.

Who it is for — When using DeepSeek Harness Web UI for conversations containing Mermaid code blocks, this plugin is suitable for installation. Users running DeepSeek Harness on non-web client platforms do not need this plugin.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed with installation in a fresh profile and successful registration. Static check indicates it will execute a shell command. No other issues detected.

The verdict — I would install it for agent conversations in the DSH web UI that include Mermaid diagrams because it enables interactive rendering, but only after handling build script approval for source installs.

What it is — Creates a Windows desktop shortcut for DeepSeek Harness web to launch the server and open the browser when ready, and adds a draggable floating refresh button.

Who it is for — If you need to launch DeepSeek Harness web on the Windows platform, this plugin is suitable.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed, in a new profile it is installed and registered into profile. The plugin will execute shell commands to launch and stop services. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it automatically stops the service when the Harness window closes.

What it is — dsh-memory provides cross-session memory storage, supporting remember/recall/forget tools, per-turn system prompt injection of the latest entries, and a settings page browser to manage the records.

Who it is for — When using DeepSeek Harness for long-term projects requiring persistent context across sessions, this plugin allows agents to retain project information and inject it automatically. Users who avoid shell command execution entirely can choose other plugins without this feature.

Watch out — Sandbox testing confirmed successful installation in a fresh profile and registration with the harness, with no obvious pitfalls found. The plugin executes shell commands, which represents a real cost.

The verdict — Given the need for cross-session memory, I will install the plugin assuming shell command execution is acceptable in my environment.

What it is — DeepSeek Harness plugin detects garbled text features before AI writes and requires review before release, plus pre-execution pwsh encoding audit.

Who it is for — When using pwsh tools to write Chinese files on Windows, this plugin is suitable for installation. Users who do not execute shell commands can skip this plugin.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed after installation in a new profile and registration. It will execute shell commands.

The verdict — I would install it because it provides a specific tradeoff.

What it is — KeyringSeam provides a signed notarized macOS Keychain credential provider for DeepSeek Harness replacing the local-file provider using a universal helper.

Who it is for — Users who need credential management in DeepSeek Harness web profiles are suitable for installing KeyringSeam. Users running on macOS below 13 should not because it targets macOS 13 or newer.

Watch out — Sandbox testing passed in a fresh profile with successful registration. No obvious issues found. Building from source requires manually allowing the build script.

The verdict — I would install it because it delivers agent isolation via signed notarized helper, but only on macOS 13+ after accepting authentication prompts.

What it is — TaskSwarm is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that runs dependency-ordered waves in parallel git-worktree lanes with task packets, cross-model review, and crash recovery.

Who it is for — This plugin suits you when you need DeepSeek Harness for multi-agent project task orchestration requiring waves parallel running and git-worktree isolation. If you prefer DSH native conversational subagents for one-shot scheduling rather than project-level waves orchestration, you don't need to install it.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: installed in a fresh profile and registered successfully. The plugin will execute shell commands. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it provides durable batch state and conversational supervisor that native DSH subagents do not support.

What it is — Provides native desktop notifications for DeepSeek Harness approval and question/plan prompts.

Who it is for — When you handle multi-session approval tasks in DeepSeek Harness using models for planning, this plugin reminds you of the workspace name and provides jump functionality. Users whose work does not involve DeepSeek Harness session management can choose other tools instead.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed after installing in a fresh profile and registering with Harness. First use requires clicking the page once to request notification permission. Static check found that the plugin executes shell commands.

The verdict — This plugin is worth installing because it provides direct click-to-jump to the workspace, which effectively reminds users in approval scenarios.

What it is — DeepSeek Harness plugin integrates StrataGate for cross-session memory using layered Event/Element cards and evidence-gated recall.

Who it is for — Developers building long-running agents with DeepSeek Harness that need to preserve original turns and tool results should consider this plugin. Users focused solely on single-turn interactions without cross-session needs would not require this plugin.

Watch out — When installing from source, the build script requires manual approval. Sandbox testing has not been performed; no obvious issues found. The plugin will execute shell commands.

The verdict — I would not install it because sandbox testing has not been performed.

What it is — DSH-Office is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that provides office_schema / office_write / office_edit / office_read tools for handling PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, and PDF files.

Who it is for — It is suitable to install when an agent needs to create, read, or edit office-format documents. Users who do not use the DeepSeek Harness plugin system can skip this plugin because it is designed for Harness.

Watch out — The sandbox test passed: it installs successfully in a fresh profile and is registered by harness. No obvious issues were found.

The verdict — I would install it because it registers successfully in a fresh profile and provides office tools.

What it is — Provides Git Bash tool for DeepSeek Harness on Windows.

Who it is for — Developers on Windows systems who use DeepSeek Harness for shell commands should install this plugin. Users not on Windows systems do not need to install this plugin.

Watch out — Requires installation of Git for Windows. Sandbox test passed in a new profile.

The verdict — I would install it because it supports sandbox mode and background running.

What it is — Chrome Faithful provides exact multi-profile control over a real logged-in Chrome browser using an MCP server, MV3 extension and authenticated localhost bridge.

Who it is for — It is suitable for users of Claude or Codex agents who need to drive tabs and locators across multiple authenticated Chrome profiles. For users who only want to use virtualized tools for testing without involving logged-in sessions, the authentic browser integration of this plugin is not relevant.

Watch out — Installation from source requires manually permitting execution of the build script. Sandbox testing confirmed successful registration in a fresh profile.

The verdict — I would install it because it enables direct control of real authenticated Chrome sessions without duplicating profiles or debug ports.

What it is — The plugin renders a selected range of a DeepSeek Harness conversation into a PNG long image with a branded footer for sharing.

Who it is for — It is suitable for users who need to share conversation excerpts in the DeepSeek Harness Web UI. Users who do not use the DeepSeek Harness Web UI do not need to install it.

Watch out — Sandbox environment testing passed with normal plugin function after installation. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it provides an image solution for conversation sharing, but only within the DeepSeek Harness web profile.

What it is — A security guard for DeepSeek Harness that performs static scans and runtime interception.

Who it is for — When you need to prevent malicious code or prompt injection in installed plugins. If you do not perform file write operations or shell command execution, you can still use the harness normally.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: successfully registered in a new profile and scanned by harness. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it automatically scans newly installed plugins.

What it is — It provides read-only health checks for the DeepSeek Harness plugin set, including loader health, dependency integrity, and version compatibility checks.

Who it is for — It is suitable to install when using the model tool to diagnose the health status of the DeepSeek Harness plugin set because it provides checks for loader health and dependency integrity. Those who want the plugin to take effect immediately after installation do not need to install it because the profile requires a restart after installation to take effect.

Watch out — Sandbox testing passed: installed in a new profile and registered into the profile. When installing from GitHub source, you need to manually allow the build script first. No other issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it performs only read-only checks without altering the state, but the premise is using the model tool for diagnosis.

What it is — dshp registers list_profiles and export_profile so the agent can display setups and export entire profiles as shareable files.

Who it is for — If you want to share a complete setup containing bundle order, plugin versions and patch with others, or safely clone and compare profiles during experiments, then if your workflow doesn't involve sharing or comparing setups, you can skip this plugin.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed: registered into profile. Verified end-to-end: fresh $DSH_HOME reproduced a 132-entry tree identical to the original, patch included. No obvious pitfalls found.

The verdict — I would install it because it allows safe sharing of profiles and cloning without affecting the original.

What it is — dsh-startup-guard repairs corrupt session logs, preflights plugin composition, runs host apply() smoke tests, and quarantines crashing bundles to prevent startup bricks.

Who it is for — When running DSH web with fragile plugin combinations or host apply() exceptions that could brick startup, dsh-startup-guard provides multi-layer checks and crash isolation. Users not running DeepSeek Harness startup do not need it.

Watch out — No obvious issues found. Passed sandbox test on a fresh profile and was registered by harness. Executes shell commands but no other defects observed.

The verdict — I would install it because it adds session repair, plugin preflight, and automatic crash quarantine in the early DSH startup phase, reducing failure risk when plugins are unstable.

What it is — Web Speech API provides browser voice input plugin.

Who it is for — Users needing voice input in DeepSeek Harness Web GUI. Users who want local engines do not need it.

Watch out — Sandbox test passed. Installed in a new profile and registered by harness. No obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would install it because it provides zero server, zero keys, zero model downloads voice input.

What it is — DSH host bundle registers conductor_dispatch tool and provides auto-triggered conductor skill for dispatching tasks to 11 external agent CLIs.

Who it is for — When using DeepSeek Harness to delegate complex tasks to Codex or Claude Code for translation or debugging, it is suitable to install this plugin. If your work does not involve any external agent CLI usage, it does not need to be installed.

Watch out — The Codex translation task has been successfully tested with output delivered. Commands for Claude Code and others have been configured according to official documentation. Users must pre-install the target CLI and account for login quota consumption.

The verdict — I would install it if DSH projects frequently require delegating tasks to Codex for translation or debugging, because it auto-triggers via description matching and the host-only design does not affect the Web UI.

What it is — This plugin allows the model to decide which historical contexts to compress using the official DeepSeek Harness compaction API.

Who it is for — When using DeepSeek Harness for long-context conversations, you can install this plugin. People who do not need to manage context length manually are not suitable for this plugin, as they can rely on the official auto-compression setup.

Watch out — No obvious issues found. Sandbox test passed with registration in a fresh profile. Constraints include balanced tool ranges and not compressing the latest preserveRecent entries.

The verdict — I would install it because the model can self-decide on compression for long-context scenarios, though it requires the official compaction basic as a fallback.

What it is — This DeepSeek Harness plugin activates minimal first turn for Web root sessions, using the official Minimal system prompt and restricting tools to persistent bash and str_replace_editor while removing workspace and skill context messages.

Who it is for — Users running root sessions in DeepSeek Harness Web who want first-turn minimal conditions can use this plugin. Subagent users do not need it because subagents maintain their original tool catalog.

Watch out — It requires a persistent Bash PTY supporting macOS and Linux but not Windows. Sandbox test passes: installed in new profile and registered by harness. No other obvious issues found.

The verdict — I would not install it because it only affects root session first turns and does not guarantee a particular reasoning outcome.
