Works — verified, early-stage project
DeepSeek Harness tool plugin: convert Markdown into a self-contained HTML presentation (slides) with themes and keyboard navigation. Zero d… It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It's early-stage but functional.
“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.
README
dsh-deck-builder 📽️
A DeepSeek Harness tool plugin: convert Markdown into a self-contained HTML presentation (slides) — themes, keyboard navigation, zero dependencies, zero core changes.
A DeepSeek Harness (DSH) pure tool plugin that registers the deck_build tool, letting the agent turn any Markdown (research reports, meeting notes, course outlines…) into a single-file HTML deck the user opens directly in a browser — ←/→ to navigate, f for fullscreen, one slide per page when printing. All generation logic is zero-dependency pure functions, and the output is fully self-contained (inline CSS/JS, no external assets, no network).
✨ Features
deck_buildtool:markdown→ HTML slides, returns output path / slide count / bytes.- Three themes:
deepseek/light/dark, CSS variables inlined. - Smart splitting: splits on
---/***/___rules, falling back to H1/H2 headings when no rules exist. - Full Markdown rendering: headings, paragraphs, ordered/unordered lists, code blocks, blockquotes, bold/italic, inline code, links, images.
- Zero dependencies, zero core changes: pure
ctx.tools.register, no client bundle, no network, no external assets. - Pure-function tested: splitting / rendering / escaping / self-containment all covered by unit tests.
📦 Install
Prereqs: DSH (dsh web works), Node ≥ 22.19, pnpm.
# From GitHub (prebuilt lib/ committed)
dsh plugin --profile web add "github:Blaczz/dsh-deck-builder#main"
# Local directory
cd dsh-deck-builder && npm install --legacy-peer-deps && npm run build
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-deck-builder
Restart dsh web after install, then ask the agent to "turn this into slides" or have it call deck_build directly.
🎬 Usage
In a conversation, ask the agent to build a deck:
Turn this research report into slides using the deepseek theme:
<markdown content>
The agent calls deck_build, producing deck-<title>.html. Open it and use ←/→ or space to navigate, f for fullscreen, and print/export to PDF for one-slide-per-page.
Or call the tool manually:
{
"markdown": "# Title\nbody\n\n---\n\n# Slide 2\nmore",
"title": "My Deck",
"theme": "deepseek",
"outputPath": "slides/my-deck.html"
}
🛠️ Development
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
$env:DSH_NODE_MODULES = "$env:USERPROFILE\.dsh\profiles\node_modules"
npm run setup:dsh-workspace
npm run verify # ★ one-shot gate: clean + typecheck + test + build
npm test # vitest (19 tests: splitting / rendering / self-containment / themes / escaping)

🧩 Ecosystem positioning
- Fills a gap: the DSH Slides/PPT category previously had only
dsh-openmaic(teaching) anddsh-k12-lesson-builder; a general "Markdown → presentation" tool was missing, even thoughmdPresenterproved the demand. - Technical route: pure tool plugin (
ctx.tools.register+defineTool), reusing the self-contained-HTML artifact shape ofhccccc01333/dsh-report-html. - Zero core changes: single-file output + zero-dependency pure functions +
ctx.effectregistration.

Install
Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:
dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog Then say "install dsh-deck-builder for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.
This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:
Web profile:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Blaczz/dsh-deck-builder Headless (CLI) profile:
dsh plugin --profile headless add github:Blaczz/dsh-deck-builder Test report
Verified: L1 install + L2 load + L3 runtime from GitHub source on dsh 0.1.0-rc.6.
When to use it
Change how dsh looks or how you interact with it — a theme, a skin, or a new panel that reshapes the workspace.
Who it's for
Users who spend hours in the web UI and want it to look and feel the way they work.
For developers — extending it
Skins, panels, and theme tokens are the extension points — author a new skin, add a panel, or sync tokens with an upstream palette.
