01What can it help you accomplish?
Turn DSH workspace tasks and GitHub issues into a visible, actionable task board
A sidebar task deck that sorts issues into available / blocked / closed, with a progress ring and one-click diagnose, fix, run and new-session actions
DSH (DeepSeek Harness) users who want issue/task tracking and progress visibility without leaving the chat
Run Matt Pocock's skills inside DSH
25 bundled mattpocock/skills shipped with the plugin (snapshot v1.2.3), discoverable via the bundled-skill dir, with triage / grilling / handoff actions injected into DSH
Developers and fans of mattpocock/skills who want those skills wired into their DSH workflow
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- Install the official DSH CLI globally: `npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh` (skip if already installed)
- Identify the profile of the DSH entry you actually use — `web` for the self-hosted web service, `desktop` for the DSH Desktop app
Installation steps
- 01
`npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh`
$ npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh
- 02
`dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck` # for the self-hosted web service (dsh web)
$ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck
- 03
`dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck` # for the DSH Desktop app
$ dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck
Verify the integration
- After install, fully restart the matching DSH entry; the MattSkillsDeck task board appears in the DSH sidebar — zero config
Rollback
- `dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck` # uninstall (web)
- `dsh plugin --profile desktop remove dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck` # uninstall (desktop)
03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Installed into DSH's plugin runtime via the official `dsh plugin --profile <name> add` command — no manual registration; it opens as a task deck in the right-hand details column.
Visible task board
Issues and tasks in the DSH workspace→Sidebar deck sorting issues into available / blocked / closed with a progress ring
Action console on each task card
A task card in the deck→One-click diagnose / fix / run / new-session actions; shows current step and blocker

04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- DSH (DeepSeek Harness) users who want issue/task tracking and progress visibility without leaving the chat
- Developers and fans of mattpocock/skills who want those skills wired into their DSH workflow
Not for
- Installing into the wrong --profile means the plugin never loads — you must install into the profile of the DSH entry you actually use (DSH Desktop → desktop, self-hosted web → web).
- DSH Desktop's pnpm supply-chain policy (minimumReleaseAge) silently skips a freshly published version for a few hours on `dsh plugin update` and the marketplace Update button; fully quit and reopen DSH, then pin the official registry explicitly.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install MattSkillsDeck?
Install the official DSH CLI (`npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh`), then run `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck` for the self-hosted web service or `dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck` for the DSH Desktop app. Restart the matching DSH entry afterwards — it takes effect with zero config.
Why do I need to pick a --profile?
DSH loads plugins per profile. Installing into the wrong profile (e.g. web when you use Desktop) means the plugin never loads no matter how many times you restart — so always install into the profile of the DSH entry you actually use.
Are Matt Pocock's skills included?
Yes — the plugin bundles 25 of mattpocock/skills (snapshot v1.2.3) and discovers them via the bundled-skill dir, so they work out of the box without `npx skills add` or cloning. By default it does not write to `~/.agents/skills`.
My update didn't take effect, what now?
DSH Desktop's pnpm supply-chain policy (minimumReleaseAge) silently skips a freshly published version for a few hours on `dsh plugin update` and the marketplace Update button. Fully quit and reopen DSH, then pin the official registry: `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-mattpocock-skills-deck@latest --registry https://registry.npmjs.org`.
