Eight model-facing Office file tools for DeepSeek Harness: create, read, and update Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), and PowerPoint (.pptx) files inside the session workspace. Zero runtime dependencies — every package is generated and parsed by the plugin's own OOXML engine, and every byte crosses the official ctx.fs service.

Tools

Strings starting with = become real Excel formulas.

Demo

One prompt, a quarterly-report trio:

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-office-tools              # npm (recommended)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:kw78/dsh-office-tools  # from source

Restart DSH after installing. Requires a profile that provides the fs service (every profile with built-in read/write tools does).

Notes

• All paths are confined to the session workspace; overwrite defaults to false.
• Reads accept any real package (STORE/DEFLATE) with zip-bomb guards; updates refuse packages with binary parts instead of corrupting them.
• PPT images are linked, not embedded: the sanctioned ctx.fs write channel is UTF-8 text only, so a package cannot carry binary image parts. Keep image files next to the deck when moving it, and note that PowerPoint blocks external content by default — a linked picture renders as a "blocked automatic download" placeholder until you enable external content (File → Info → Enable Content, or add the folder under Trust Center → Trusted Locations). This is a PowerPoint security policy, not a package defect.
• ppt_create echoes every element's landing position; ppt_read returns the same geometry for any deck.

Configuration

One option: enablePptTools (default true) — set it to false to coexist with a dedicated presentation plugin such as dsh-ppt:

- insert:
    - id: dsh-office-tools
      config:
        enablePptTools: false

Development

pnpm install && pnpm run check   # typecheck + tests + build
pnpm run test:e2e                # real-composition E2E (sandbox-policy + fs-sandbox + tools)

Compatibility: the declared DSH 0.1.x ranges and >=0.2.0-rc.1 <0.3.0-0; exact tested releases live in package.json (dsh.compatibility.dshReleases). CI exercises both 0.1.2-rc.1 and 0.2.0-rc.1. DSH 0.3.x is not declared supported.

Generated packages are limited to 50 MiB. Up to 200 PPT slides (including an optional title slide) are accepted; linked images remain external. See architecture and migration plan for the binary-write seam needed for true embedding.
