01What can it help you accomplish?
Manage a DeepSeek Harness profile's plugin install state from a browser panel
A settings-page "Plugin Management" panel: an install area (npm name / GitHub project) and a loaded area (version check/update, disable toggle, bundle uninstall); bundles enter the layer stack, non-bundles get insert rows
DSH profile operators and power users who install third-party plugins through the web profile
Develop official-format DeepSeek Harness plugins
The `make-dsh-plugin` skill + cookbook that guides creating official bundle / cordis plugins (skill package / MCP / Node tool / with UI)
Plugin authors who want to publish bundle or cordis plugins for DeepSeek Harness
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- DeepSeek Harness (`dsh`) CLI available on your PATH — every install command in the README calls `dsh plugin --profile web add`
- A web profile to install into (the README uses `--profile web`)
Installation steps
- 01
Recommended (git source, one line): `dsh plugin --profile web add "github:vlln/plugin-registry#path:/packages/plugin/console"`
$ dsh plugin --profile web add "github:vlln/plugin-registry#path:/packages/plugin/console"
- 02
$ npm source: `dsh plugin --profile web add @vlln/plugin-console@0.1.0`
- 03
Local directory: `git clone https://github.com/vlln/plugin-registry`, `cd plugin-registry/packages/plugin/console`, then `dsh plugin --profile web add .`
$ git clone https://github.com/vlln/plugin-registry
- 04
Refresh the web page after mounting so the "Plugin Management" panel appears on the settings page

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Thin console (cordis bundle) installed into a DeepSeek Harness web profile via `dsh plugin --profile web add`; adds a browser panel + 4 agent tools for install-state management and ships the `make-dsh-plugin` skill for building official plugins.
Thin console — Plugin Management panel
npm package name or GitHub project URL (`https://github.com/o/r` / `github.com/o/r` / `github:o/r`, auto-normalized)→Profile install state: bundles enter the layer stack, non-bundles get insert rows; loaded area offers version check/update, disable toggle, uninstall
Automatic `pnpm add` of the named packagemake-dsh-plugin skill + cookbook
A plugin idea and a chosen form (skill package / MCP / Node tool / with UI)→An official bundle / cordis plugin scaffold following the `dsh.bundle` or plain-apply spec, with install-and-verify discipline
4 agent tools for install-state management
Agent tool calls from a DeepSeek Harness session→Install-state management actions (install / enable / disable / update) surfaced through the same console
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- DSH profile operators and power users who install third-party plugins through the web profile
- Plugin authors who want to publish bundle or cordis plugins for DeepSeek Harness
Not for
- On Windows use the `#path:` install form, not `#main&path:...`: win32 `dsh plugin` forwards args through cmd.exe where `&` is a command separator, so `#main&path:...` gets split and fails with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_DEPENDENCY_NAME.
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- On Windows use the `#path:` install form, not `#main&path:...`: win32 `dsh plugin` forwards args through cmd.exe where `&` is a command separator, so `#main&path:...` gets split and fails with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_DEPENDENCY_NAME.
- Since 0811 the official repository-plugins mechanism is gone; external plugins (including this console) install via the web profile only — bundles join `dsh.profile.bundles`, non-bundles mount via insert rows in `cordis.patch.yml`.
- Changes to the Node (runtime) half of a plugin require a restart to take effect — the README points to a gotchas doc to read before developing.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install the plugin-registry console into DeepSeek Harness?
Recommended git source, one line: `dsh plugin --profile web add "github:vlln/plugin-registry#path:/packages/plugin/console"`; or npm `dsh plugin --profile web add @vlln/plugin-console@0.1.0`; or clone then `dsh plugin --profile web add .` (local dir). Refresh the web page after mounting.
What does the thin console do in DeepSeek Harness?
It adds a "Plugin Management" panel to the settings page that manages a profile's plugin install state — an install area (npm name / GitHub project) and a loaded area (version check/update, disable toggle, bundle uninstall); bundles enter the layer stack, non-bundles get insert rows.
Does plugin-registry still install plugins as repository-plugins?
No — since 0811 the official repository-plugins mechanism is gone; external plugins (including this console) install via the web profile only. Bundles join `dsh.profile.bundles`, non-bundles mount via insert rows in `cordis.patch.yml`.
How do I build a DeepSeek Harness plugin with this repo?
Use the `make-dsh-plugin` skill + cookbook: pick a form (skill package / MCP / Node tool / with UI), declare `dsh.bundle` or plain apply, then follow the install-and-verify discipline.
On Windows, why does the `#main&path:...` install form fail?
On win32 `dsh plugin` forwards args through cmd.exe where `&` is a command separator, so `#main&path:...` gets split and fails with ERR_PNPM_INVALID_DEPENDENCY_NAME; use the `#path:` form instead.
