DSH Office Plugins in Action: One Sentence to a Presentable PPT with DeepSeek Harness
A step-by-step photo walkthrough of Boxuegu's episode 7: install dsh-univer-office from the marketplace, type one sentence, and watch DeepSeek Harness research the market, build a 6-slide deck in the Univer editor, merge it into your workspace and present it — 12 verified screenshots.

The best way to learn what the dsh office plugins can do is to watch one do real work. In this 296-second course recording, Boxuegu's instructor installs dsh-univer-office from the DeepSeek Harness marketplace, then types a single sentence into the chat — "query today's A-share market, recommend 3 stocks, and make it a PPT" — and the agent handles the research, the spreadsheet and the layout on its own.
This guide breaks the recording into 10 steps: searching the marketplace for office, one-click install, slide-by-slide generation inside the Univer editor, merging into your workspace, and a final run-through in presentation mode. All 12 screenshots come from that video and each links back to its exact moment. For which office plugins to install, the companion office-docs collection has you covered.
TL;DR
- ▸One plugin is enough: search "office" in the marketplace and install dsh-univer-office by dream-num (spreadsheets, docs, presentations, base tables) — a page refresh activates it, no API key.
- ▸One sentence does it: "query today's A-share market, recommend 3 stocks, make a PPT." The agent loads the univer skills, verifies the date and closing data via web search, then generates all 6 slides.
- ▸You approve the result: slides are drafted in a separate worktree window (an "editing" badge up top), and only "merge into current version" writes them into your workspace. Six planned tasks, six completed — then present it.
Run the dsh office plugin in ten steps
- 1
Search the marketplace for office, pick dsh-univer-office
Settings → Plugin marketplace (1,650 community capabilities), type office into the search box. The top hit, dsh-univer-office by dream-num (18 stars, released 2026-08-19), promises to "create, edit, check and deliver spreadsheets, docs, presentations, base tables and canvases, with live preview and worktree review." Below it, dsh-office-tools is a leaner file toolkit for Word/Excel/PowerPoint. The video picks the first one.

Install, and wait for "installed and active"
Hit install on the dsh-univer-office card and confirm. When the progress bar finishes, the new-session screen greets you with a toast: "dsh-univer-office installed and active." The narration suggests refreshing the page — no restart, and no API key anywhere in the flow.

Give it one sentence
In the workspace chat, type one natural-language request — "query today's A-share market, recommend 3 stocks, and make it a ppt" — with DeepSeek-V4-Pro selected, and hit enter. No template, no parameters; the whole office intent lives in that sentence.

The agent researches on its own
The task log shows the full chain: skill-catalog injection → the univer and univer-slide skills → a Bash call for today's date (2026-08-20) → three web searches (Shanghai/Shenzhen/ChiNext index quotes, Aug 20 quotes, the Aug 19 close) → 30-odd seconds of deep diving. It even notices the results are mixing in stale 2025 data and re-queries against the real date.

The Univer editor pops out; the cover takes shape
Once the research wraps, a separate editor window (ashare-deck · ashare-recommendations.univer) pops up with an "editing" badge in its title bar. The dark cover slide lands first: "Today's A-share market & stock picks," subtitled "major indices open higher; precious metals and innovative drugs lead."

Market overview and stock-detail slides follow
Next comes the market-overview slide — Shanghai Composite 3,894.42 slipping below 3,900, Shenzhen Component rebounding on the open, ChiNext +1.27% leading at the bell — then a stock-detail table: 603259.SH WuXi AppTec (CXO · innovative drugs), 601899.SH Zijin Mining (precious metals · gold), 600276.SH Hengrui Pharma (innovative drugs · leader), each with a one-line thesis. Table, charts and layout, all automatic.

A risk-disclosure slide appears unprompted
The final slide is a risk disclosure: four disclaimers covering "for research reference only," "markets carry risk," "intraday data may lag," and "picks are examples, not guarantees," signed off with "rational investing · long-termism · avoid chasing rallies." Nobody asked for compliance copy — the agent wrote it into the deck itself.

Back in the chat, confirm the merge
When it's done, the agent lists its sources in the session and a worktree review card appears: ashare-recommendations.univer marked "pending confirmation," with two buttons — merge into current version, or discard. As the narration puts it: it builds in a separate place first; only your confirmation moves it into the workspace.

All six tasks check out
Expand the task panel and all six items are ticked — market research and analysis, stock details, creating the univer job, running the snapshot, importing into the workspace, exporting the deck. Narration: "It planned six tasks and finished all six in one pass." The human contributed exactly one thing: that sentence.

Present it
Hit play in the editor and it switches to presentation mode: a 1/6 pager control, a filmstrip of all six slides, fullscreen, page turns and exit. "This is what productivity looks like," the narration concludes — and the same flow covers spreadsheets and documents. Drop in your own work scenario and go.

dsh office plugin FAQ
Quick answers on univer-office, API keys, where the deck lands, and how this page relates to the collection.
What is dsh-univer-office?
A community plugin (maintained by dream-num) that embeds the Univer office suite into DeepSeek Harness: it lets the agent create and edit spreadsheets, documents, presentations, base tables and canvases, with live preview and worktree review. It's what gets installed in the video; if you only need to read and write .docx/.xlsx/.pptx files, dsh-office-tools in the same search results is a lighter alternative.
Does it need an API key or extra setup?
No. From install to finished deck, no key configuration ever appears in the video — install, refresh, go. What you consume is invocation quota of the model already configured in DeepSeek Harness: during this demo the balance shown in the corner drops from ¥15.77 to ¥15.13, under 1 yuan.
Where does the generated PPT live?
During generation it lives in a separate worktree review window (ashare-recommendations.univer); only after you click "merge into current version" is it written into your workspace. From there you can present it in place (6 slides in this demo), keep editing it, or export it as a file.
How does this page relate to the /collections/office-docs collection?
They complement each other. The collection answers "which plugins to install" — 18 editor-picked office plugins in one place; this page answers "how to use them" — one full run from install to finished deck, following the course recording.
