The dsh Ecosystem: Packages, Community Lists & GitHub Topic

A map of the DeepSeek Harness (dsh) ecosystem: the official repo and npm package, community catalogs this directory aggregates, and the dsh-plugin GitHub topic.

Last updated: 2026-08-13

The official anchors

The ecosystem starts with three official touchpoints:

Repo — deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness — "DeepSeek Harness: Everything is a Plugin." Open source, MIT-licensed, TypeScript.
npm — @deepseek-ai/dsh — the CLI. npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh then dsh --profile web launches the Web UI.
Topic — dsh-plugin — the official GitHub topic for community plugins. Adding this topic to your repo is the single most effective way to be discovered.

The project is at v0.1, explicitly aimed at harness developers, with core plugins and interfaces expected to iterate quickly.

The list this directory is built from

This site has a single source of truth — our own awesome list:

cccakeee/awesome-dsh-plugins

Every plugin page on this site is one line in that README. The list follows the awesome-list convention (a category heading, then - [name](url) — description per plugin), and both English and Chinese section headings are recognized. PRs are welcome — see how to submit.

The dsh-plugin topic (for discovery elsewhere)

GitHub's dsh-plugin topic is the official community marker for DeepSeek Harness plugins. We recommend every plugin repo carries it — other tools and directories discover plugins through it. It does not feed this directory (which only reads our list), but it's how the wider ecosystem finds you.

Category taxonomy

Every entry sits in one of these categories (defined by the heading it lives under in our list):

UI & Experience — skins, sidebars, panels, themes, terminal UIs
Sessions & Messages — message editing, sharing, conversation navigation
Utilities & Other — tools, parsers, calculators, misc capabilities
Agents, Automation & Workflows — loops, sentinels, multi-agent orchestration, workflows
Integrations & Sharing — notifications, bridges (Telegram, VS Code, ACP), sharing
Developer Tools — plugin health checks, audits, templates, sandbox backends
Knowledge & Research — memory, search, document parsing, research agents
Design, Media & Vision — vision toolkits, design canvases, media
Web & Browser — browser automation, web content agents
Ecosystem & Resources — registries, skill packs, lists themselves
Just for Fun — pets, mini-games, stickers, parody ads

How this directory stays fresh

On request (max every 6 hours), the server re-fetches our list's README from raw.githubusercontent.com — no API key, no rate-limit wall.
The README is parsed into entries: category from the section heading, name/URL/description from each line. List order is preserved as the default sort.
If GitHub is unreachable, the site falls back to a committed snapshot generated by scripts/sync-plugins.ts, so the directory never goes dark.
Plugin detail pages fetch the plugin repo's README on demand and cache it for 24 hours.

You can rebuild the snapshot locally with:

pnpm tsx scripts/sync-plugins.ts

Safety notes

Listing is not endorsement. Nobody audits third-party plugins here; the list itself says so.
Check the plugin repo before installing — read its README, license and what it accesses.
Prefer isolated workspaces and the harness's sandbox tiers (read-only → workspace-write) when trying something new.
