02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Installation steps
- 01
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add git+https://github.com/THU-MAIC/dsh-openmaic.git` to install the plugin into the `web` profile.
$ dsh plugin --profile web add git+https://github.com/THU-MAIC/dsh-openmaic.git

03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Native DeepSeek Harness runtime plugin: installed via the official `dsh plugin --profile web add` command, it registers four tools and a Socratic teaching skill that run inside the harness.
openmaic_generate — classroom generation
A lesson requirement (e.g. "make me a lesson about X") plus optional flags such as `language`→A playable classroom link on open.maic.chat, returned after an async generation job
openmaic_slide — slide rendering
One OpenMAIC slide written as PPTist-style Slide JSON→A rendered slide via OpenMAIC's official renderer (text, shapes, images, tables, charts, formulas, code)
openmaic_widget — interactive widget
An OpenMAIC-style interactive widget (simulation, game, or code) written against the bundled contract→A full HTML document rendered inline as a sandboxed card; code streams as the agent writes it
openmaic_render — inline HTML teaching card
An inline HTML teaching fragment (concept card, quiz, walkthrough)→A sandboxed card rendered right in the conversation
openmaic-teach — Socratic teaching skill
A DeepSeek Harness session→A Socratic OpenMAIC lesson that teaches by guided questioning, pulling in slides, widgets, and cards as aids
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- Educators, teachers, and agents running DeepSeek Harness who want interactive, Socratic teaching material
- Developers and teaching agents who want visual, interactive courseware generated directly inside DeepSeek Harness
Not for
- The slide / widget / render tools do no server-side generation; they render content the agent authors against the OpenMAIC SDK contracts (`@openmaic/dsl`, `@openmaic/generation`, `@openmaic/renderer`), shown inline as sandboxed cards.
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- Generation tools submit requirements to and poll open.maic.chat remotely; classroom generation is async and depends on the external OpenMAIC service being reachable over the network.
- The slide / widget / render tools do no server-side generation; they render content the agent authors against the OpenMAIC SDK contracts (`@openmaic/dsl`, `@openmaic/generation`, `@openmaic/renderer`), shown inline as sandboxed cards.
- Classroom generation is slow; the default `pollIntervalMs` is 5000 but 60000 is friendlier, and a single job is capped at `maxWaitMs` = 600000 (10 minutes).

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install dsh-openmaic into DeepSeek Harness?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add git+https://github.com/THU-MAIC/dsh-openmaic.git`, then restart `dsh web` and refresh. The plugin ships its compiled `lib/`, so a git install needs no build step.
What tools does the plugin register?
It registers four tools — `openmaic_generate`, `openmaic_slide`, `openmaic_widget`, `openmaic_render` — plus an `openmaic-teach` skill that runs a Socratic teaching session using those tools as aids.
Where is the classroom generated, and do I need an account?
`openmaic_generate` submits the requirement to open.maic.chat and polls for an async job, returning a playable classroom link. The `accessCode` invite field is not enforced online yet, so you can leave it empty for now.
Do the slide / widget / render tools need server-side generation?
No. Those tools do no server-side generation; they render content the agent authors against the OpenMAIC SDK contracts (`@openmaic/dsl`, `@openmaic/generation`, `@openmaic/renderer`), shown inline as sandboxed cards.
How do I point the plugin at a local OpenMAIC instance?
Set `baseUrl` to `http://localhost:3000` in the plugin config (`dsh-openmaic.baseUrl`). Other tunables include `pollIntervalMs` and `maxWaitMs` (the 10-minute cap for one generation job).
